Special kind of reseller's account
Hi
I am looking for a special kind of reseller's account.
I don't need too much space for myself, but I require that the server i am on is NOT crowded!
I am simply tired of ending up on servers that host 1000+ domains and are slow, get attacked too often, go down for hours and have very strict rules that won't let your site perform as you want it to...
I have wandered from host to host, all promise the best performance, all deliver the same poor service... the problem is the same: they overload their servers!
I require WHM/Cpanel with 8 to 10 GB of disk space, 100-200 GB of bandwidth
Does anyone know about any webhosting company that offers that kind of account?
Thank you
PS: money is NOT an issue! but at the same time, i cannot affored to pay 250 bucks for a dedicated server (and God knows if it's indeed dedicated!). I'd rather pay 50 bucks for 5GB on an uncrowded server than 5 bucks for 50 GB on a crowded server...

What are you previous hosts? Are they those massive oversellers?
BTW, you can check out downtownhost or knownhost, they are quite reputable here.[ James Lee - Cloud & Web Hosting Specialist • 10+ Years WHT Veteran]

Jumbo, your needs are not special, but unfortunately there are indeed companies who oversell their servers without keeping an eye on the management of things.
I believe you just did have bad luck with your previous hosts and that you now found a forum to do research for a new great host. I am sure you will find one, there are many good providers here.
Check out for offer section here on WHT, and then do an extensive research on the company by using the search button.
I wish you all the best in finding the hosting provider which fits you!» cPanel Servers in Europe: Strasbourg (FR), Haarlem & Amsterdam (NL) & Kent (UK), USA (Los Angeles, St.Louis), Asia (Singapore) | Follow us at Twitter: @040hosting

Paying $50 for 5gb will not guarantee that the server on which you will be on will not be overloaded. Server load depends on what kinds of sites are stored there and how well the server is managed.

Funny how the requirements below are now considered special... I really am starting to feel for consumers - even though they kind of created this mess with their shopping habits (I am not speaking specifically of you jumbo1)
I have wandered from host to host, all promise the best performance, all deliver the same poor service... the problem is the same: they overload their servers!
I require WHM/Cpanel with 8 to 10 GB of disk space, 100-200 GB of bandwidth
As for your resource expectations - just remember, the cheaper the package, and the more resources provided - the more users ultimately need to be on that server and the more resources need to be allocated - so, your chances of getting great service will just go down
Does anyone know about any webhosting company that offers that kind of account?
PS: money is NOT an issue! but at the same time, i cannot affored to pay 250 bucks for a dedicated server (and God knows if it's indeed dedicated!). I'd rather pay 50 bucks for 5GB on an uncrowded server than 5 bucks for 50 GB on a crowded server...

Andrew (CartikaHosting) has given some excellent advice. I agree with his post 100%.
There are lots of companies (I recommend www.httpme.com) that provide reliable reseller accounts. The "catch" is that they do not have super-cheap pricing. They charge more, because it costs more to keep the servers "clutter free" since usually these companies are not overselling. (Or if they do, it's very limited and highly controlled.)We are eNom PLATINUM PLUS resellers!

One questions you might want to ask a host when talking to them is "what are the max # of account on a shared or reseller server, asl ask if that shared or reseller server is running on a VPS or a dedicated server.

Thank you all for your replies and advices
i can do as much research as i want, but i'd like to know from people like you who had experience with these hosting companies
my customers have different kinds of sites: from the most simple static personnal site to forums using PHPbb, sites using phpNuke, etc... I myself have a couple of sites that will definitely use the mySQL database at every step. As for the location, i'd prefer a company/server in the US or canada...
what do u mean by single server platforms??
ok, so how can i guarantee that the company does not oversell, even though it says so, even though its prices are high and even though it sets limits?
what i thought about doing is aqcuiring the IP of the server and doing a reverse lookup on a whois site to determine the number of domains hosted on that server...
but the bottom-line is that i need to hear from your experiences and what you know about particular hosting companies that provide the reseller option...
i will be checking all the companies you advised...
thank you

if your hosting account and all services run on a single server - then it would be classified as a single server environment.

Thank you cartika, i will take all u said into serious consideration...
I checked all the companies u posted here, i like downtown host, and i contacted them for more info about their server load... they said that overselling is allowed for the reseller, but that they stop setting up reseller accounts on a server when the load reaches 1... i honestly think this rule wont avoid overloading on the server...
i asked for some IPs of the servers they got, they gave me 3, i searched on domaintools.com about some stats (the servers have 700+, 800+ and 1200+ domains each), and i found that both downtown host and my current host have that in common: Block C Owner: LIQUID WEB INC... moreover, my current host's server stats show: IP Location - Michigan - Lansing - Liquid Web Inc
What the heck does that mean?? are my current host and downtown host subsidiaries of liquid web??

Hello Jumbo,
no, that just means that they both lease servers from liquidweb. As long as the network and hardware is of a quality you would expect, then the provider being at liquidweb for their servers wont matter. You can have 2 providers at the same data center and they obviously may run their businesses in a completely different fashion.
As for downtownhost - they come highly recommended on here. That domain count does seem high for single server cpanel environments, but again, number of domains on their own really do not tell you much. As long as their loads are reasonable and their servers are well managed, that is the most important thing. Having said that, I do think that number is a little high, but, from what I understand, they run a really tight ship - so, dont use those numbers as your sole determining factors....www.cartika.com

Hu jumbo - see, this is why it is so hard for consumers to know which direction they should go.
1 website could eat up a server like that, whereas in other instances, you could have 10,000 websites on that server and not have an issue.
You really need to find out what baseline loads a host operates on, which is nearly impossible.
The only thing you can really do, when it comes right down to it is to find hosts with the business model you like, and then research and find as many real user reviews as you can...
