| Posted by madlynx, 01-31-2013, 10:35 PM | | I'm going to sign up for a new reseller hosting plan before midnight, when the promos are supposed to end. I've narrowed down my options to 3 hosts/plans:
Eleven2.com (R100 plan, w/ free upgrade to R200 plan = 200GB space/2TB bandwidth/unlimited accts) for $20/mth.GreenGeeks.com ("Seed" plan = unlimited space/unlimited bandwidth/max 10 accts) for $20/mth.9xhost.info ("Expert" plan = 260GB space/2.8TB bandwidth/max 100 accts) for $22/mth.
This is my third attempt at finding a host which doesn't suck as much as the one I've been with since 2004. Even though I'm leaning towards one, all three look pretty good. There is no long term contract, so a bad choice won't be the end of the world. I'm aware that the best choice for me may not be the best choice for someone else, but I would appreciate hearing some personal opinions or experiences before signing up.
Thanks.

It sounds to me like you like hosts that offer high amounts of disk space & bandwidth. That's fine and all as long as it's adequate pricing but with those costs, that's a huge red flag that all of those hosts you've listed overloads & oversells their servers to death, especially Eleven2 who's notoriously known for doing so.
I promise you that in one way or another you'll regret choosing those kinds of hosts.
The majority of web sites use around 150mb-450mb of data, you won't be needing all that space and you're better off with a quality host such as MDDHosting, Innohosting or EZPZHosting with realistic limits.

You said this is your third host. Maybe you should consider changing the way you look for a host?

| Posted by ScottJ, 01-31-2013, 10:54 PM | | Have you hosted with Eleven2 that you continue to make these assumptions? Our servers run Litespeed, cloudlinux and are high end machines. The majority of our clients will agree that our hosting is very fast. Our reseller limits are not as outrageous as you claim.

| Posted by GreenValueHostGM, 01-31-2013, 10:57 PM | | I used to use your shared hosting back in the day to host a couple of my friend's websites.
Your reseller limits are above the vast majority of other companies who are claimed to have a quality service and additionally you cannot deny that you're overselling your servers to death as one of your plans offers "999,999GB" of disk space.

| Posted by Deal2Host, 02-02-2013, 01:05 PM | | Eleven2 Seems to be good and their support is also good. Not unlimited reseller so we can trust them than greengeeks. they provide WHMCS,and Sitebuilder and cloudflare with reseller packages. so many features and i think some of their servers are running on litespeed. which makes them far betterthan others.
greengeeks is not a bad company. their shared hosting is excellent with unlimited features. but dont know ,they retain it in reseller. Support is also good.
i dont even heard of 9xhost.info. Hope they are good.

@madlynx : Would you mind telling everyone about the host whom you've chosen as a host. It'd be further helpful to all if you'd also state the factors you considered to take the decision.
