Good prices for resellers?
| Posted by TWC - Travis, 05-21-2006, 03:33 PM |
| Hello,
I am looking at resellers that offer at least 40gb web space and 400gb bandwidth.
I currently have a very good deal for 30gb of web space and 300gb of bandwidth, with Client Exec included for free. Are there any hosts out there that fit the bill?
Please don't suggest any other solution, I am only looking for resellers that can come close to the deal I am currently signed up with.
Thank you,
Travis

| If you do need at least 40GB of disk space I would tend to look at moving away from shared environments (resellers and vps). You can pick up many cheap dedicated servers nowadays

| I realize that, but the cheapest servers I have found were $100 a month with cpanel. My reseller account runs on a Dual Xeon server that has tremendous uptime... why would I switch to say, a Celeron, with tons of bandwidth, that I would have to manage and admin myself?
But maybe I'm seeing this wrong. If there are solutions that are better than I have for less than say, $100 a month, I might consider them, but otherwise why fix what isn't broke? I'm looking for the better deal, I suppose VPS would be best because I wouldn't necessarily have to manage it.

| It seems like you all ready have a decent reseller account. Why are you planning on moving in the first place?
|
| Posted by TWC - Travis, 05-21-2006, 05:26 PM |
| We are expanding, so I figured I would shop around, in the process.

| Posted by StackHost, 05-21-2006, 05:28 PM |
| Does your current host have an upgrade path?
|
| Posted by TWC - Travis, 05-21-2006, 05:29 PM |
| Yes, but I figured I might as well look around as well. Can't hurt.

| That makes sense. How much are you currently paying?
|
| Posted by TWC - Travis, 05-21-2006, 05:39 PM |
| About $32/month.

| try buying a small Dedicated Server some were

| I've looked for those, any suggestions as to where I should start looking? Probably a host that has 500-750gb bandwidth a month.

| try here http://www.sagonet.com/servers/unix.php
|
| Posted by TWC - Travis, 05-21-2006, 06:59 PM |
| That's a bit much, for that price I can get:
2.4ghz celeron
1gb ram
200gb hdd
2000gb band
cpanel + fantastico control panel
From:
http://jhservers.com/
So to be honest, it would have to below $99/month.
Thank you though!

| For a dedicated check out Layeredtech.com to get a deal. I would recommend a VPS possibly but for 400 GB of BW a dedicated may be your best option. Some VPS providers can offer that but depending on your planned growth a dedicated right off the bat might be the wise choice. Only thing at Layeredtech they don't do Managed. They have Resellers that do however..

| Layered is great, but still too much for me at this point. With cpanel it would be over $100 a month.
I was looking at this:
http://serveraxis.com/vds.php
It's the best VPS deal I could find, that has 512mb of RAM guaranteed. Unforchunately, they are sold out right now.
Thanks for the help, I'm just looking around for a host that will be easy to transfer to incase my company expands to the point that I will need a VPS/Dedicated solution.

| For the time being I would suggest you setup another reseller account on another provider to ensure all your eggs aren't in one basket.
For instance, if your current host goes out of business, then thats 40 gb space of files gone. Whereas if you have 2 seperate hosts and one goes out of business without warning then you don't lose all your clients.
And also, while one group of clients is down due to a server reboot, the others aren't.

| I was going to say get 1 VPS (Managed) for your bigger reseller clients as this will just provide a safer environment then have a Reseller package somewhere too. Overall a VPS is good to have as it's like a mini dedicated server but with fast drives so it would faster then a Celeron in many cases.
