    * small/cheap whm/cpanel reseller account needed

    due to Hydro-host wrapping up the hosting business after 5 trouble free years with them, im in need of a small reseller account for private non profit use (it works out a cheaper/more secure option than several individual accounts as i host a few sites for friends and family along with a charities website i manage). Total storage requirements 2gb and bandwidth of 5gb would be plenty, so most reseller options are way overkill for me.

    I'm looking for something stable, no frills, no need for a billing system etc, just cpanel/whm and a reasonable price.

    Ideally hosted/supported in the UK..but if the support/service is good/quick will consider anything

    any thoughts on the following ive stumbled across so far or recommendations on others?

    nice to have for be a dedicated IP, but not essential and as i said the cost is coming out of my pocket and is not passed on to anyone else so i want to pay as little as i can get away with whilst maintaining a reliable service, im currently paying <£40 annually.

    thanks folks,

    I had a testing account at BeZazz for quite a while, service and support there is very good (especially given the prices after promos).

    I would contact each provider on your list with a few pre-sales questions, this will give you an idea of how they respond to issues and which one best fits your needs.

    First of all, thank you for considering us in your list! Regarding Hydro-host they started around the same time as us and I do not remember ever reading any negative reviews about them so can see why you have been happy with them, but you say they are leaving the industry now or you simply looking for an alternative, just checking...

    If you have any questions regarding our services etc then feel free to PM via WHT or email us at sales@hostxnow.com

    All the best.

    Why you are looking for a reseller hosting if you will host a few sites only? Shared Hosting can be fit your needs and cheaper than reseller hosting. I recommend Namecheap. Their Value plan is $9.88/yr for first year and allows to host 3 web sites.

    Thanks for your feedback, but having 1 cpanel for several sites would not work for me...the charity site at a minimum needs some isolation as it could be managed by others aside from myself. Also the thought of having one account hacked and it taking down 4 or 5 sites would not be something id consider..cheers anyway tho.

    First of all, where did you find this list of resellers? Secondly, if you have more than one site, reseller is the way to go.

    i put the list together based on a couple of evenings of plodding thru reviews/adverts/websites etc...and i agree..its just a shame most of them assume im gonna need 100gb+ of bandwidth and charge accordingly!

    Most hosting providers would be happy to offer you a custom package if you can let them know how much Disk Space or Bandwidth you intend to use. With this being a festive period, most companies would also be willing to offer larger discounts than what is normally available. Hopefully this increases the number of options you get.

    sparkzter.

    It seems you have chosen a good list for your requirement. If you really don't want lot of space then you would be better off to avoid high space offers, and might just be able to trade that off for a quality service. If your budget is around $40-80/year you might not find a UK provider with a dedicated IP. Any specific reason that you need a dedicated IP?

    So many problems with addon domains and security issues, this is good that the OP is keeping them separate.

    This is good to hear - many are not on board with this and while "Addon domains" are somewhat important, they almost always pose a risk for every other domain on the same user account.

    Going for a reseller account is the way to go, in your situation (more that 1 site). It is always a good idea to give every site it's own cpanel.

    For UK location, HostWithLove is an excellent option.

    A couple of other decent hosts you can look at (but at EU, not UK) are Buyshared and Hostmantis

    If you need inexpensive, buyshared.com might work. Reseller account starts at $2/month, and they seem to get good feedback here. I tested an account, and they use the latest tech and have good support.

    That's where you find discount codes to sweeten the deal. The truth is bandwidth is not much of an issue and most providers could set it to unmetered/unlimited if they wanted to. However, diskspace is more important as the more you have the longer it takes to rebuild drives etc or restore backups and so it is not a good idea to giveaway diskspace so to speak.

    I would not worry too much about the bandwidth and just assume the price they are charging is mainly for other more important resources such as diskspace/memory/cpu/ssd and of course their support team.

    All the best.

    id seen them...but £16 a year seems a bit too good to be true!?..also it looks like their EU data center in Luxembourg is not accepting any new orders at the moment. good to hear they are getting good reviews tho.

    i don't need one (i don't have one currently) but it would be a 'nice to have' to get away from the problem of other shared users on the same IP leading to blacklist issues.

    @ sparkzter. I am glad BeZazz made it onto your list

    @ DWS2006. I appreciate the kind words

    1. SpaceWeb.eu (using)
    2. Dewlance (using)
    3. BuyShared (ex-customer)

    I am fully satisfied with BS/SW/DL support. No any issue so far from 3 host. BS have a php selector.

    Dewlance/BuyShared use cPanel and DirectAdmin is used by SpaceWeb. All suggested company's use solid state disk.

    I'd recommend asmallorange reseller host, never had any issues with them, support answers usually in 1 hour

    Jump on the wagon if you can find stock for BuyShared's Luxembourg location. They are doing a great job for the bucks you pay.

    Did you check Hostmantis? Should fit your bill.

    And from what I heard, buyshared lux plan will be available later today. So you can wait till tomorrow and see if it does.

    Clicking through your list and checking out those sites they all seem legitimate and will probably handle your requirements without issues. Just a matter of picking one that fits your budget and rolling with it.

    Blazinghost, from your list have a UK location and I believe division of a bigger company (AMS). They also do not allow overselling, if you need such feature.
