    I would have to disagree. After looking at their site, while they may be overselling, it is very much in line. There are many other hosts who oversell by a lot more than this company.

    I would recommend you to send in an email and see how their response is. Chat with them on their site through the Live Chat feature.

    True, but one has to ask the question, can they really offer just one reseller acct for only 49$ at 800GB xfer a month? given 10 plans of that nature, thats 8TB of bwidth or 8 tier1 plans, how can the cost be justified?

    Im just saying, be careful and yes ask questions before going forward as ayksolutions stated.

    I completely agree - no matter what anyone says - and Im sure there are ALOT of people that will disagree with me - but 800GB of bandwith, for under $50, in the reseller hosting market - is simply not sustainable - at least not with the service levels demanded by most customers...

    Totally agree! Haha, since when was 800 GB bandwidth per month on a shared hosting (reseller accounts are shared hosting essentially) account "in line"?

    How I would love to see even half the reseller accounts on that server try and use just half of the resources they think they are able to

    You wouldn't want to put your trust in a company if they are over-selling their products. Just think towards the future. Alot of things can happen such as instability, memory hog and so forth. Good luck in finding the right host for you!

    Thanks guys. but believe me... their plans are tempting me!
    I would try to contact them and find out. again their live chat never seems to be live. i guess i have to email them.
    Couldnt we find such kinda plan with unlimited domains, unlimited mssql and asp.net 2.0 support? I tried searching in here but I have mixed responses.
    I would be greatful if you can post about your host.

    thanks.

    Definitely some heavy duty overselling going on. I might as well dump my dedicated servers and just transfer them onto Advanced Reseller accounts.

    Before I comment xoail, you are not allowed to have pricing in your signature, it is against forum rules.


    It is a bad idea to purchase strictly on the amount of space and bandwidth. That being said, it is possible for them to profit by offering such high specs simply because a high fraction of customers will never utilize those limits. Just look at godaddy's offering for 4$ a month. If even half of their customers used half of what their plan offered they wouldn't be doing it.

    Personally, I'd be looking for longevity of the company. See what date they opened up on (ask them and also verify with a whois and some research), what kind of support response times they have (check them at several different times of day) and finally ask for some proof of reliability (see what monitoring, security and server side work the company is doing). After all, these factors are what you are paying for in a reseller account

    I just saw the 800GB transfer option and that is truly massive overselling. In my previous post I only looked at their first page. So I wasn't sure why everyone was talking about the 800GB per month. That is something to worry about however.
