Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Reseller Hosting : Need to replace my Godaddy Hosting

[Buckrgs]

I am looking for a reseller package that offers WHM/cPanel. I have a few sites that I want to transfer to it. I have others that I will be building. I also have a couple clients that I will be moving to the reseller account. Most of the sites aren't very large and don't have large BW requirements.

I do need reliability. I have been reading all over the place and can't seem to find any good conclusive answers.

Here are some of the things I need/want:

WHM/cPanel
Linux hosting
unlimited domains
50 Gigs storage
PHP
MySql
SSL
24/7 phone support
e-mail support
Custom nameservers (ns.mydomain.com) would be nice.
Price around $25 or less

I am currently using Godaddy. When I started all of this I didn't know any better. After having to contend with their services, I need to switch. A simple thing like only 1 concurrent ftp connection when trying to UL/DL files is frustrating. The performance is also lacking (shared hosting).

I have since used cPanel and like the way it works. From what I have read it is recommended that WHM be used to create separate cPanel accounts for each domain, because cPanel doesn't handle add on domains very well.

I have looked at some host review sites and well, they are OK, but I came here to ask what the members would recommend.

Some of what I have found:

Hostgator
hostnine
site5

Please help

Thank you.

IMO you're looking for too much for a too low budget, you may find a good and reliable host offering 50 GB of space for $25, however, that's something really hard.

[Buckrgs]

The 50 GB is not an immediate need, 20 GB should be enough to start.

(expansion options)

Thanks.

20GB is still a very large amount for your budget. You mentioned that the sites use a relatively low amount of "space" -- do you really need 20GB of space? If not, you should be able to find a plan with lower specs but with more reliability for your price range (remember, you want to stay away from huge-overselling hosts like GoDaddy and experience the same thing again).

On the other hand, the list of possible hosts you have does look pretty good, aside from Site5 (you may want to do a search of them here @ WHT to read some recent reviews of their services).

Good luck!

Figure out the minimum space you can use...then head over to the Reseller Hosting Offers here on WHT...you will have a ton to choose from...see which one fits.

ASK IF THEY OVERSELL...A couple on your list do.

United Hosting do some good plans. Can you increase slightly on your $25? If so, go with them!

Hmm based on your server space requirements, i couldn't imagine a solid host offering that sort of plan with what you want. Why the need for such excessive disk space?
