plexhost.com?
In my search for a good reselling account I have come across plexhost.com from a previous post here. Are they good? What have your experiences been? The reason I am so intrigued by them is there great prices.

great pricse usually mean overselling...
Also i had a trial plexhost account..
Their WHM was pathetic... Many good features were locked, which made it a big PAIN to add accounts.
Cheaper isnt always better.
If your looking for WHM/CPanel look at:
netstartz.com

voxtreme.com
If you want Ensim look at:

well when you create a plan, you cannot edit it
you cannot add an account unless you add it as a plan
and you cannot change a persons plan directly, you have to create a hosting plan and change it.
It may not sound like much now, but its really a huge pain when you get into it...

Hmm.. thanks for the info insaneraptor, my hosting account doesn't allow any of those either. When I need to edit someones account I have to add a whole new package, and then upgrade/downgrade the account.. it is a bit frustrating.
Would be nice to be able to edit accounts individually, and edit packages rather then have to delete and create a whole new package entirely.

Hello,
We usually don't want to respond to such replies, but this time I couldn't....

Also i had a trial plexhost account..
To let him wait, we offered him a FREE reseller plan since decembre.
A few days ago, he was online on msn messenger and told me that he doesn't like to work with CPanel since he doesnt have experience with it.
So, he don't want the free reseller plan and wants to get paid when he starts to work OR he wants to work for free.
When I heard about his lies, I told him we don't want a support person who hates to work with our standard control panel.
And we don't want support who works for free.
This is the reason why he left.

Before creating accounts, you must create plans. This is standard on all CPanel, and this is not a pain if you got used to CPanel.
In fact, creating plans gives you a better vieuw of your sold/used resources and also better for administration.
Your 3rd reason is a mix of the first and second one...

Just to clear up...
MCRox/Plexhost: after creating an account (under a plan), can you then edit the individual account's settings and allocation, without editing the actual plan? Or has this been disabled? I think this is what insaneraptor was suggesting.

Why would account/package be disabled? Makes it a lot more difficult. For instance, a client wanted the cpanel theme changed, so I had to create a whole new package.. set all of the other things AGAIN, then upgrade, then delete the old package.
SO I went to cpanel.net and looked at the WHM docs, and see A LOT of features i've never seen before. A few I can see why they might be disabled.. but why do hosts disable so features? Are there resellers which allow most of the features that WHM offers?

Those who allow overselling often allow the ability to edit accounts individually because their reseller account is based on actual usage rather than allocated usage.Chief brew-maker at several hosting brands since 2002.

pardon my french, but this is bull***t. a reseller account with these features disabled is close to unusable, our clients would have burned us at the stake if we didnt have them enabled.

I can understand a lot are disabled for , I just don't see why I need to create a whole new package just to change a clients cpanel theme. Also with a lot of resellers you have unlimited email, ftp etc.. why it would matter to disable editing individual accounts.

If the host allows overselling then this isn't really an issue because their real usage stats are looked at rather than their allocated usage and they are able to allocate more resources than they have available. Many hosts setup reseller accounts so that they cannot allocate more resources than they have available to them and disabling modify package/account is one of the features that has to go due to the way WHM works.Chief brew-maker at several hosting brands since 2002.

The ones that are disabled are root acces, and someother options which affects other resellers on the server...
This problem about the themes is a problem with CPanel...

I guess it's not that big of a problem.. it's just a bit of an a annoyance. When you're trying to make a hosting company, you need functionality.

I don't think you will like it, when other users can browse your files, or newbies with a reseller account can restart services like exim, ftp, mysql etc..
