    Looking for a good master/reseller company

    Hi, I wish to host my own sites and also maybe sell abit of webspace to my family/friends, nothing to major to be honest, But i need a highly reliable company, with which will offer me good bandwidth and HDD space.

    I am from the uk and have used usa based companys before and had no problems with basic hosting with them, am unsure to go with a uk based or usa based company ??

    I also need excellentt customer support, by email, telephone, skype, ect ect

    I have also taken a look at jixhost and they seem to have all the bells and whistles.

    But am worried about picking any old company who will overload servers and course alot of hassle for me.

    I hope someone can help, Many Thanks

    P.S jixhost if your on here, your site rocks

    Try searching WHT for jixhost.com and spend some time reseaching others here.
    There are some popular UK hosts that might suit your needs, but be realistic about what to expect for what price.

    Do you actualy need Master reseller ?
    If you go for 'normal' reseller you'll have a much broader choice, and some would question
    the ability / point of 'master' anyway.

    Good Luck

    It's going to be as unlimited as the speed of your car !

    Check & recheck terms, conditions AUP etc. to find the weakest link.
    Do you realy want to not only worry about 'your customers' but also the customers of your resellers ?.
    Because if your resellers customers screw up, it could impact on your own your account & your customers.

    I would suggest you stay away from "Unlimited" and Master reseller offers.

    Imagine the following scenario. A server with let's say 20 Master resellers. Each MR having 10 reseller accounts. Each Reseller having 50 normal hosting accounts. Do the maths and see how many sites could be hosted on that server.

    My advise is to start with a Reseller account and then move to VPS if you want to sell reseller accounts.

    I don't think you need a VPS. If you plan on selling hosting space at all or just want to have a good degree of separation on your accounts, a reseller package is what you will want.

    As others will suggest, you should always check out the offers section. Tons of guys will throw in everything and the kitchen sink. I suggest staying away from anything that says unlimited bandwidth / storage. The offers section is really the best way to do some comparative shopping there to see what people are offering.

    Also, most places have enough packages, or are willing to work with your needs as they change. I'd suggest sending them a note and asking what their polices on that are.

    Best of luck.

    I recommend Jixhost.com if you are looking to become a master reseller. The support and customer service is second to none, plus they have awesome servers.

    50GB space on a VPS is guaranteed space alocated for you to fully use it. 50GB on a reseller account might not.

    Don't go for Unlimited, Master Reseller Accounts, huge space reseller accounts. You depend on your future clients and you 'll have to decide if you want quality or everything unlimited.


    As i said before, my advise is to start with a Reseller account. When your business grow and feeling ready to start offering Reseller accounts, consider a VPS.

    Hello,

    I always recommend any prospective customer to watch server loads as most hosts have this publicly viewable on their websites. This will give you an idea if the host is overloading their servers or not.

    I want to clarify that the claim of a copied website from Jedito was during the previous ownership of jixhost and was with a completely different website then what is running now. I do not think a duplicate JixHost website can be found.

    Hello,

    Unmetered and unlimited are the same thing. This is where we have the current servers live data displayed and is the actual server new clients will be residing in.

    Pricing for servers are always falling, hence they keep getting more powerful with more capacity for a lower price. I understand our pricing is well below market, however we are still turning a profit and will be raising prices in the near future for new customers.

    Hello,

    Yes as both packages are on the same server so its the same thing only without the limitations. PHPcoin is free and can be found in the included Fantastico on our cpanel.
