Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Reseller Hosting : Any Experience with Hosting24-7.com Reseller Program?

[couponjim]

I am considering a couple of reseller programs which I want to place on http://www.DaytonWebHosting.com. Right now, Hosting24-7 looks to be the better one. I do like that HostYouSite.com offers a site template. Without a template, I am concerned about technical errors in my site's copy. Any thoughts or advice will be greatly appreciated.

Ive never hard of them, so they must not be very big. But I couldnt tell if their good or not.

Interesting that because you have never heard of them "they must not be very big". Also interesting that when plugging the company you work for (or own) that you would not use better grammar or spelling. Or is that just the "Ole Down Home Feller" approach?

Hosting24-7.com looks like an Alabanza host. If that's what you like, then you can do lots of apples-to-apples comparisons without leaving the comfort of this forum. :-)

Two observations about Hosting24-7.com:
1. I didn't see a reference to how much bandwidth they're offering per plan. Check this carefully. Never believe "unlimited" bandwidth or similar phrases.

2. They require a 6 month commitment on your resold accounts! I suppose this is in lieu of you paying a reseller fee or buying a specially-priced reseller plan. I don't care for this, because it has the potential of costing you money should the client opt out before that time is up.

THe reason why I say they must not be very big is because they are not very big. I have been in this industry for seven years and have never heard of them. That would make me qualified to make those kind of assumptions!! And furthermore I never siad they were a bad company, there are many small companys which frequent this board which are just a one man show, that I would not hesitate to send a customer who needed hosting too because they are outstanding individuals. And you buy putting me down as a individual and our company shows what kind of business ethics you have. Oh well ill just shuck your lack of ethics out the window due to the fact that your new to this board.

Oh and one more thing. I dont plug my company anywhere but in my sig which is where everyone plugs thier companys.

Good Luck,
Oh and thanks for informing me of missing the e on heard. Im too busy assisting fellow board members, then to worry that everything I type is exactly right. But I will be more carefull in the future.

Just putting my opinion here, cBaker17, since you've been here for 7 years in this industry, it doesn't always naturally qualify you to make those kinds of assumptions. I'm pretty sure that there are other companies out there who are bigger than you and you mite have not heard of them before. Remember that there's a LOT of Hosts out there, Probably over 20,000 and some of them are really bad (which gets a lot of attention) and some of them pretty good which do not get much attention.

Just my thoughts on it because I don't really think that anyone can just qualify themselves to make a quick assumption just like that. For example, When I told a friend of mine about this free advertising in our local classified newspaper here, and since my friend hasn't heard of it, he immediately assumed that it was small and not popular at all, but when in fact, that company has made themselves very popular through their free advertising in their classifieds ads and hundreds and thousands of people apply weeks ahead to get a spot to put their ads there. When he said "Since I haven't heard of it, it must be small", one of my other friends replied back saying that maybe he's just ignorant (which I agree).

So yup.. just my thoughts on this subject..

My apologies to anyone who may have been offended. Having been in retail management for over 30 years (until becoming disabled), I have always considered the person representing a company to be an extension of that companies values and an indication of that companies abilities and credibility. In stopping to help others, which I have never hesitated to do, I have tried not to use that time spent as an excuse for forgetting the rules by which I was brought up. The internet has changed many of those rules. I still feel that proper english and grammar is important in both the written and spoken word. Unfortunately, in some areas this concept is not the norm. Again, I apologize. But, if I received poorly written notes, memos or letters from a vendor/supplier or saw those same type mistakes in an advertisement (or website), I would hesitate to do business with that firm. I "kick myself" whenever I make errors on my websites, but I'd rather know and correct them than to simply ignor them. PS: Having been born and raised in Corbin, Kentucky, I too am a "Ole Down Home Feller". I just choose to not project that image to the world. PSS: After all is said and done, I commend you for any efforts to help others. All too many do not take the time. Please continue to do that.

What's the purpose of writing? I always thought it was to convey information.

Having had a brief career as a newspaper editor, I too cringe at poor grammar, misspellings and other such butchery of the English language. I have read the raw copy of well-known writers who couldn't spell to save their lives, let alone tell me what a semicolon does. However, in spite of these shortcomings, they could get their point across in writing better than I could ever hope to.

It's the rule on the 'Net to cut people some slack when it comes to language. In part because it's an international arena in which you'll find many non-native speakers of English. There are many other reasons as well, but I'll save some bandwidth for the next person in line. :-)

I just finished an email to brucec@tooltastic.com, a British company. I am preparing to answer Kerry Gao, papercut@263.net, at JQ99 studio "Located in Xi'an, northwest China, our studio is an agent of Chinese papercuts". Yes this is an international arena. Also, a good editor sees the value in a writer's work. Does that mean that he presents it to the public unedited? I do not think so. I will attempt to get off of this soapbox. I would really like to solve my beginning question on this board. As a 56 year old who had not been exposed to a computer or a keyboard until February of 1999, like me or hate me, but forgive and help this old man who is an infant in a modern technological internet world.

Went to the Colonel's place a few times, just outside Corbin. It was a Trailways bus stop also. Before KFC, best known back home for cured hams. Thanks for the heads up on spelling. Looked at your site. Looks nice. Interesting shape and color selection. Looks like you went south, most of us hillbillys went north. Any advice on reselling or reseller programs?

North??? Too cold for my blood. After being down here for 10 or 12 years, anything north of Atlanta is too far north. Advice on reselling: Well, I am just getting started so I don't think I am the right person to ask. The best advice I can give you is to make sure that your "supplier" is able to support you well and is reliable.

Just sitting around waiting on basketball season.

In advance: Sorry for my poorly written english (I'm from the Netherlands).

Hosting24-7.com is a host on an Alabanza server. When I do research on companies or I see an url interresting, I check the url without and with the www in front of the domain plus extension. You might want to check that first if you want the companies you work with to be as accurate as yourself.

Just a suggestion.

Hello,
I strongly believe they are an Alabanza resseler. I just signed on with them and they are the best I've found in price and feature offers after months of research (infact, if they are Alabanza i don't know how they make a profit). One thing, I've been with them just for about a month, no problems at all but it is always difficult to get someone on their tech support toll free line. My emails are usually answered in less than 15 mins though. Also first sign up for their free trial offer and ask them about their price guarantee. I heared Albanza increased its rate. If they are alabanza their rates may increase too. So ask them that. I locked in my rates for a year. Strongly recommended. Good luck in your research
God Bless
