Looking for hostgator features, with Plesk front end...
I dont want to start a discussion over control panels, Im just a sucker for asthetics... and ive had experience with plesk, and found it to be suitable....
However, Im looking for a host that provides similar packages to hostgator
hostgator.com/shared.shtml
but with a Plesk 7.5 front end. Basically, I can afford $250 or £125 per year, and want at least 5gb space, and 75gb b/w.
I have seen some other hosts offering same features for around the same price, but cannot find one offering Plesk... so I know you can get such features, for around that price.
Can anyone help??

I recomend you using the HostQuote feature here on WHT and look for a host with Plesk Control Panel, you shouldnt have too much trouble finding one, just hope you make the right decision, good luck.

Not really convinced thats going to be of much help.... as the highest values are 10gb monthly b/w and 150mb space, surely thats going to provide about 90% of all hosts!!!
Was hoping someone who had a similar plan may provide some assistance, as I have speant many hours trawling the net for suitors....
Thanks anyway...

I think it will be hard to find what you are looking for within your budget. You might want to take a look at www.powervps.com they offer plesk hosting, and www.hostnexus.com

There are dozens of excellent, extremely high class providers in Europe that will do better for him at 10ms vs 100ms with excellent support.EuroVPS - Europe's Fully Managed Hosting

How is PLESK more expensive? Most providers supply it for the same cost as cPanel. Only time it changes is when you start putting many domains per server, but even then it's still not that expensive if you go to the right places.
ManageMyServices was sold by me in September 2009. I no longer have any affiliation with this company.

Plesk is far superior to cPanel in every way. The simple fact that if cPanel get's FUBAR'd, you're waiting hours (or days); whereas with Plesk (as an authorized partner) you're waiting 1-2 minutes and you've got them on the phone fixing it. That to us is worth it.
If cPanel wasn't so much in demand we would not offer it at all, period.
cPanel = Fiat Punto

I am just recommending a few Plesk hosts that I have heard of, that is what the OP asked for

In his original query you should see that he stated his currency is GBP. Unless he is catering to US clients, there is no reason for his packets to cross the Atlantic.

H-Sphere is a train wreck. The more I think about those days my head starts to hurt.

Had a feeling I might have opened up a can of worms!!!
I primarily like Plesk, for cosmetic reasons, which I know is not a reason for chosing a control panel, however, as its the front end of your site management, I feel it should be plasing to the eye, and easy to work with, as my limited experience with it has found.
Im not necessarily after a UK based provider, in fact they are outrageously expensive, compared to overseas hosting.
Other than the fact that its easier to get hold of support if the host company is based in same country, I see no advantages to using a UK provider... Overseas hosts usually give you more for less!!
I have found many providers offering suitable packages, but only offer cPanel, which I may have to settle with, as Im not having much luck finding a Plesk based service.
I like what hostgator had to offer, in both storage and b/w, and whilst I understand that there is no such thing as unlimited, I also dont see why lmits on certain things should exist... for example sub-domains - if I own the domain, I should be able to create as many subs as I like, as no one else has any use for them... same applies to emails, etc... whilst I could never see myself using an unlimited amount, I see no reason why there should be a limit, even if 500 is more than adequate!
At the end of the day, all that you are effectively paying for is the physical space and bandwidth, surely how you choose to use these is up to you... anyway, thats another thread, and I certainly dont intend opening up a larger can of worms here!!!
Thats my penny/cents worth anyhow... still searchin, and indeed may end up settlin for cPanel in the end... as I have more to choose from!!!
Thanks for all your comments!!
BTWI think it will be hard to find what you are looking for within your budget
I just want one that offers Plesk!!!Last edited by DaMekon; 07-16-2005 at 05:30 PM.

* Support is horrific. I can name names and times, and even post proof, trust me I've been through A LOT with their grossly incompetent support staff
* Software is extremely unstable. We had Positive Software configure themselves a cluster of 8 servers, 1 control panel server, some Windows servers & Linux servers as well, don't remember exactly how we had it (I can look it up and post the Visio's if needed) - This never worked. Ever. Thank god we never provisioned any customers on this system as we would have been destroyed from the beginning two years ago.
* Pricing is not any cheaper than SW-Soft's HSPComplete, which offers 100X more than H-Sphere, and comes with a GUARANTEE of stability & real support.
* Support - Again, support is ridiculous. Don't waste your money on H-Sphere unless you really are a masochist. I am not a newbie, I have been in the ISP Business since '94, and I know when something is junk and when it isn't.
* Headaches - Reduction of my life span - Misery - Stress - All these are side effects of H-Sphere for me personally. I am not compatible with H-Sphere.EuroVPS - Europe's Fully Managed Hosting

I have found several companies providing at least 5gb space, and 75gb b/w from as little as $6 per month for annual payment, so I know there are providers out there, even some of the major ones are offering such packages for around $10 pm on annual payment.www.cartika.com

Well, we wouldn't use it even it were free. I am very happy that you made it work for you, it was a promising package, if it wasn't we wouldn't have been interested in the first place.
We chose to go with SW-Soft. It is a much more expensive route to follow, however for us, it was the only sound choice. Now with Intel dumping millions into SW-Soft, we feel all the more better about our decision to invest tens of thousands of Euros into SW-Soft products.
We love SW-Soft almost as much as we love LeasewebEuroVPS - Europe's Fully Managed Hosting

wow - shopping for those rates is always a risky business
Im quite willing to pay double this, for reliability, which of course, should be the main factor when chosing a host, I was just highlighting that there are a few reuptable companies offering rather amazing packages....
