Is there a company that is selling 'cloud' type linux reseller hosting that I can in turn sell as individual accounts? When I researched Mosso for example you can host individual accounts but you cannot give them all each different logins/control panels.
Thanks.

Are you talking about a reseller account?

I believe tsohost has recently launched such a product:

I think you can take a look at cartikahosting, they offer High Availability Linux hosting similar to cloud hosting offered by mosso.

lonestar - yes. The cloud equivalent of a WHM account. Even better: The cloud equivalent of being able to setup cpanel-type and WHM-type accounts where I can set up individual accounts and other reseller accounts.
Thanks all of the others for the ideas. Will look.

Hello,
I imagine most doing this would not have built their solutions on cpanel/WHM speficially.. however, depending on the provider and what they used to build it, it can and often times is setup to operate just like a normal reseller account would (ie creating accounts each with their own control panel instance)

Thanks. Does not have to be WHM/Cpanel. Just those types of accounts i.e. I have master account (like a master WHM). I can set up other reseller accounts and other individual accounts.

I don't see Cartika's solution on their site.

Thanks Andrew. While I am reading in the other tab...
1. I see Hal Hosting and Hal Reseller. Is there a HAL Reseller Reseller Account?
2. It looks like nothing in HAL applies to the Exchange Hosting or Windows Hosting correct?
(Just saw the white label phone service. Nice :) )

1. I see Hal Hosting and Hal Reseller. Is there a HAL Reseller Reseller Account?
Hello Patrick, there is just a HAL Reseller account. So, you can create accounts (ie control panel instances) for your clients. However, we do not support sub reseller accounts, so, you cannot sell reseller accounts to your clients - sorry :( . If you want to go this route, you would need your own dedicated HAL setup, which is something we do provide, but, it does require a fairly significant investment as you would need several servers, a SAN and Load balancers (though it can be setup to share existing SAN's and Load Balancers in order to mitigate costs)
2. It looks like nothing in HAL applies to the Exchange Hosting or Windows Hosting correct?
Correct, all HAL accounts are Linux only. If you also want access to the Windows technologies, you would need one of our standard UR hosting packages as well (the UR packages support Linux, but, the Linux accounts within the UR packages would not be created on the HAL servers, just the standard services cluster)

Thanks Andrew. Great information and great feature set. I'm bookmarking you and keeping an eye on you for future needs.
One last question - is provisioning pretty fast on all accounts ?

Hi Patrick,
Every account is verified (ie no instant activation for obvious reasons :) ). But, typically, provisioning is within a couple of hours as long as all of the automated fraud checks pass as well as a few other manual checks we run. Worse case scenario is a same day type of scenario...
