    Hostforweb.com

    As far as hosting sites go, I have tried quite a few. Website tonight was the worst I have ever tried. Yahoo was ugg, angelfire was pretty expensive for what they offer. The best I have found on the web is hostforweb.com. They have a truly awesome support staff that is always willing to help. Their prices are reasonable, and they offer a slew of different options from regular hosting to hosting reseller accounts, they even have one called a reseller, reseller account. I'd suggest anyone looking for a decent host to check them out. Their uptime is near 99% and are really good about migrating you to a faster server if the need arises.

    I've had a reseller account through them since June. The only problem I have is that they do not offer as much space to resell as some places Re: godaddy offers for regular hosting. This is easily overcome though if you realize that what Godaddy offers is like the Walmart of web hosting.

    Domain registrations through HFW are a little more expensive than normal. 10.95 for .com,.net,.org etc but still well worth it in my opinion.

    Hope this helps.

    What do you mean they have one called `a reseller, reseller account`?

    Nice to see a positive review about Hostforweb. They always seem to be the host that no one mentions, yet they`ve been around for years.

    I believe by Reseller, Reseller, that Host Web allows you to purchase a reseller account that allows you to resell reseller plans, seems to be what it sounds like anyway.

    Good review, happy customers are always better

    Glad to hear you found the host to make you happy.

    Their uptime is near 99%
    I hope that's not really true, as under 99% uptime would be quite poor. It's ~8 hours of downtime per month.

    they even have one called a reseller, reseller account.
    is it advertised on their website? I didn't manage to find it.

    drkvamp, for review validation purposes, please share a domain that you host with Hostforweb.

    Yeah, that`s why I ask for clarification. Confused me somewhat as I assumed they sold standard cpanel/whm reseller accounts.

    I used Hostforweb reseller account for hosting many sites for over one year. They provide dedicated IPs for $0.5/month and that was the main reason I used their service. I cancelled my account a few months ago.

    Their support was very fast but the only problem that I had was the slow download speeds. Alertra spotcheck used to show download speeds of 12-32 Kbps for most part of the day. But how can one complain? That they were overselling was evident from the prices that they charged.

    Having overselling isn't a safe way of running a serious business IMO. And low speed of overloading - I think not many people will wait for site overloading.
