Hi guys I am looking for a reseller account with price around $30. Well Bliksemhosting and hostingzoom both has something i want but bliksemhosting won't support my customers , they got support package though, and hostingzoom's semi-dedicated has too small storage... 5 gig! So i am looking for a reseller/semi-dedicated account with these features , 1) Price : $30 - $40 / month 2) Storage : 10-20 gig , 8 gig min 3) Bandwidth : 150 gig / month minimum 3) Support : Must support my customers 4) ClientExec : Must be included 5) Domainreseller : optional The rest are as normal , own nameserver , cpanel/whm and so on .... if you know companies with these features pls post or pm me. Thank you very much billy *EDIT* Hostingzoom reseller plans are great but i am looking for a company that has upgrading path if my company grows ... i don't wanna move around my customers' accounts from here to there thats why ...

For 30-40 bucks a month, you want all that?? I presume you're not expecting to host any corporate sites that require actual security stability and uptime. For your requirements.. I would not expect to pay less than $140 per month, and that's hitting on the low side of things.. presuming you want some stability. R'gds Dean

That seems a little high. You could get a VPS (from PowerVPS.com or ServInt.com), the lowest plans have about 5 GB less space and are priced a bit higher than what you say you can afford. Of course that would obviously be cheaper than reseller/shared hosting. You would have to know some information about server management nor would there be any support for your clients. I'd say for all that you want, you are looking at $100, at least.

Well he did say the domain reseller was optional. Honestly Billy, I think your requirements are a little steep. You need to sacrifice one or two of your demands. For example: a) Take away your price requirement and you can get the rest b) Take away the support and bandwidth requirements c) Get my drift. You can have your cake and eat it too, but you must understand that your provider of choice (whoever it may be) is running a business. If they are selling the above, they are not running a profitable one.

The VPS places you mentioned don't support the clients' customers, which was one of the thread starter's requests. I would say that Cahl is actually well within a reasonable range (give or take $20) to include everything the thread starter wanted.

Hi guys Thanks for your valuable inputs actually I didn't have to search a lot really ... as i said webhostingzoom and bliksemhosting already has 90% of my requirments... and varhosting has almost 99% ... and i did look for their reviews on the forum and generally they been having great reviews so i guess i will go with them They got $34.95 for 20 gig .. add $10 for clientexec and support for my customers!!! cheers! thanks alot! billy

wickedpuppy, good luck with your host of choice. That's understandable, no one wants to do that. Personally, even though I live in a poor country where wages are surprisingly low, I still fail to understand the math behind particular offers. As I learned from a particular experienced host, when it comes to reseller hosting, the important thing is long term sustainability. In the begining the resellers will use little of their allotments, but as time goes on they will come closer and closer of using all of what they bought. That's when the business model of the reseller hosting provider is really tested.
