Hello,
I searched these forums for hints and tips for reseller accounts in UK (or other european countries) with WHM/cPanel at prices in £10-£20/month. I found WebHostingUK and UK2 and now trying to compare them.

WebHostingUK offers their Linux Copper Plan with 10GB space, 50GB bandwidth at £14.99 or 20GB/100GB at £24.99

UK2 offers their Reseller Standard with 100GB space and 1000GB bandwidth at £19.99

On this forum I read that UK2 is a bigger company, and I read some good reviews on WebHostingUK.

Which one of these hosts is the most "reliable"/stable in your opinion. I don't feel like switching host after 6 months...

I make websites and some other development, and now some of my clients asked me if I could host their sites also. To begin with I have maybe 10 clients and growing. Not much reqirements, but there are big differences in the above mentioned reseller plans.

Thank you!

The price of WebHostingUK seem more on the realistic side, but at the end of the day, the best thing to do would be to search these forums for reviews of both companies..That said, I do know some things which are sometimes bundled into a reseller account are charged as extra optional items by UK2, so you may want to see which of the features you need and how much they cost.

Send some pre-sales questions to get a general feel of each. Eventually going with the one which matches your requirements the most.

try their support with random pre-sales question, to test them how quick they answer and the quality of the answers.

UK2 offers their Reseller Standard with 100GB space and 1000GB bandwidth at £19.99
looking at the figures, they overselling their service. as dedicated will cost from £49 per month with almost the same specs.

WebHostingUK offers their Linux Copper Plan with 10GB space, 50GB bandwidth at £14.99 or 20GB/100GB at £24.99
more realistic.

UK2 reseller is actually £34.44 in total when you include all of the taxes etc, and thats not including any type of WHMCS or namesevers (which is an extra £99 a year).

I don't like Uk2 very much, I don't think their prices are very honest to their customers. I would recommend PCSmarthosting, they have been my fav reseller provider over the years.

UK2 seems more organized and provides online chat. The prices seems reasonable. But I have tried none, so I can not guarantee for them.
