Recommendation needed
| Posted by The Broadband Man, 04-30-2007, 09:47 AM | | I have a colocated server with cpanel right now.
The cPanel license on my server just expired and I don't feel like paying for another month as there's 3-4 sites on that box that are still active.
I pay $80 a month for the colo with cpanel
So my questions are
1) What do you recommend (reseller vs vps) and who do I go with
2) How do I get my 4 sites off to the new cpanel with an expired license?
If anyone can help that'd be great. Looking to move within 48 hours

|
| Posted by KiranHost, 04-30-2007, 09:55 AM | | Then I would definitely recommend a reseller account. As for shell access if the company doesn't provide it then simply ask for it. I'm sure most will give it to you.

| Posted by liquid, 04-30-2007, 11:08 AM | | why did you need root access?
|
| Posted by premium20, 04-30-2007, 11:38 AM | | Well, every provider will ask you 2 questions:
- why do you need root access and
- what kind of scripts are you planning to run?
I doubt if any reseller provider will be willing to provide root access.

| Posted by mehboobashraf, 04-30-2007, 01:21 PM | | I dont think any1 will give you shell access with a reseller acc. Go for a VPS in that case!
|
| Posted by Reseller Mike, 04-30-2007, 01:44 PM | | I would have a look at a low end VPS server so you can get full root to the server.
I would have a look at KnownHost.com for your VPS needs. I been with them for about amonth and its been great no downtime support is fast! And they can help with you moving your old accounts to the new server.
Good Luck with your search!
