| Posted by saintlei, 04-15-2006, 03:19 PM | | I had free and flexible reseller accounts provided by a nice USA friend for almost 2 years, but now for some reasons, he stops the offering.
And I don't want to give up the hosting biz as my part-time job, so i am planning to continue it
I really did seach in google and in WHT, and I am tired of googling and doing searches on WHT page by page. cuz it always gives tons of results!
that dazzled me, I can't decide
So I post a thread with my request details
Here it is.
Datacenter located in USA, stable, fast and reliable
OS: Linux/Unix
Space: 5G or a little more
Transfer: 50G or a little more
CP: WHM/Cpanel, RVskin, fantastico...
unlimited features such as accounts, domains, mysql, etc.
Over selling enable
Private label, Personal NS or anonymous NS
Good and fast support to reseller, and I can handle my own end-user customer support myself.
Price: under or about $10/mo
Payment Gateway: Paypal
I am not expecting to make much money, but I can't afford to loss money, at least breakeven.
Maybe I am just daydreaming about such low budget reseller plan , If I am rich enough, i am sure I will go with hostgator or some other well-known bigger providers with good reputation, and I agree to "what u pay for is what u get" .
But the best I can do is on my budget, so don't laugh at me. Any help or suggestion would be appreciatived.
Thanks

| Posted by kevn@hosterdirect, 04-15-2006, 05:37 PM | | You won't be able find a reliable hoster for this cost. They cannot affort it. Good luck find it.

| Posted by saintlei, 04-15-2006, 05:42 PM | | Thanks for understanding, WK-Anthony.
I know my budget is too low, it is hard to find such a provider.
|
| Posted by saintlei, 04-15-2006, 05:54 PM | | I have searched the offers in advertising forum, but I can't get reviews on most of the offering providers.
I never heard about most of them in hosting industry. Maybe they are new companies.
But would u like to recommend some new companies if u have experiences with them?

| Posted by ldcdc, 04-15-2006, 08:55 PM | | IMO, the underlying problem seems to be what you charge your customers.
Estimate what the prices of a good reseller hosting plan is, and adjust your costs so that you can afford it. If you're serious about your business, you must have a business model that is sustainable.

| Posted by saintlei, 04-16-2006, 04:39 AM | | Thank you ldcdc, I plan to use this low budget plan to host some of my own personal domains and sites, and also host some of my friends' sites for free.
Meanwhile, If there are still extra spaces and transfer left, I want to gain some small customers for breakeven.
Due to my former free provider stops the offer, all my own sites and their sites down. I once promised to host my friends reliably, and I can't let them down.
Maybe I am not good at business

| Posted by Marble, 04-16-2006, 05:18 AM | | The thing to remember is your clients need their sites up. Don't settle for the price. Think quality first. Don't become another statistic and have your clients on here looking for reliable hosters because of server issues. You can get what you want, but maybe shoot for spending more. Check your costs as it shouldn't take more than a few accounts to cover your prices.
Also note to "ademeker" - posting these types of requests are a no-no on these forums.

| Posted by darkink, 04-16-2006, 05:41 AM | | agreed, your spense is quite low, i doubt any serious hosting companies can offer what you want at the price you given
|
| Posted by RackFleet, 04-16-2006, 05:48 AM | | I'm not sure what your business model is, but would you ever consider raising your costs a little bit to accomodate a fair reseller budget for the needs you specified? You could find a good credible host for double your budget around ($20) per month
|
| Posted by saintlei, 04-16-2006, 08:37 AM | | I found the costs of these companies are not too expensive, and most of them are well-known here.
varhosting, imhosted, virtuosonetsolutions, my-e-space, hosttitan, sjrhosting, allreseller, dathorn, hostww, 247-host
some of them seem have the features and budgets almost fit my needs, but I still can't decide, so please help me review them if u know about them
Thanks

Only company I know that is within your budget and is sort of reliable.
