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 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.
