wanted: reseller, 5+gb/50+gb for $10-$20/mo
| Posted by chamelion, 02-04-2006, 12:11 PM |
| been looking around quite a bit. so far have the list as:
bad rep:
resellerzoom: poor uptime
gazzin: holy hell bad uptime
varhosting: horrible reviews (even for their new server, srv1)
risky:
redeemedhost.com: looks ok, but bad support/ one man company
not much info/ looks ok:
mkyo: looks ok
hostingfellows: looks ok, still waiting to hear from customer service
hphosting: looks ok
valvehosting: looks ok
sjrhosting: looks ok
nextboxhosting: don't have private dns
allseller: eh
hiyacorp: looks ok
cabasca: looks ok
most of these plans are 5-10gb storage, 50-100gb bandwidth, and range from $10-$20.
could you guys recommend me anythign else? or comment on any of the hosts above if you have experience with them?

| Have you checked the offer section at WHT. You might find some offers that might suit your requirement.
Like there is an offer from beachcomber:
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=482086
If you take their 4GB/100GB plan and pay annually it will cost you $12.50 per annum. I have not used their services, but have seen occasional good reviews about them.

| You should re-evaluate your placement of ResellerZoom. I have read many reviews here of ResellerZoom that rate their uptime quite well.

| Uptime isn't really a problem at ResellerZoom, it's more of performance - which they seem to have fixed (otherwise there would be the usual 30+ posts about the 500 errors . . .). I can tell that they are definitely not a poor choice, as long as don't go for their budget plans (though the other plans don't seem to be within your budget).
I strongly recommend upping your budget if you want a company with great uptime, etc.

| I am sure you tried the "Find a host" feature at the top.. but hace you asked for a money back guarantee.. or first month free? With that it would give you time to evaluate the service on your own.

| Hi,
I would go for hiyacorp they have been around for years and offer 24x7 support plus 24x7 LIVE SUPPORT as well. They have great servers as well and offer private DNS as well as host of other things. costs are very good as well.

Your question was answered. We did change the web submission form because of this incident. Thanks for helping us improve.

| Hello chamelion,
I would try to email them all and check their quality of response.
From that list I only know ResellerZoom, and like Incognito said they are bad reviews about them, but you will also find good ones. (probably because they are the most popular from the list?)
Good luck.

| The main problem with ResellerZoom is/was created by themselves because at some point they decided they want to jump out of the "budget" gang right into the "premium" elite. Somehow probably they imagined that if they'll impose ridiculous limits to budget reseller accounts everyone will jump to premium packages. I wonder how is that nobody from RZ realized that this is a lousy attitude, and certainly not worthy of a PREMIUM provider. This way they managed to establish themselves as provider that will never be worthy of the PREMIUM status.
The official reason was they wanted to isolate the abusers but they became abusers themselves and solved NOTHING. I have seen loads of 3 to 30 on one server, many POP failures, and a ridiculous amount of MySQL failures and "500" errors even for VERY LIGHT accounts. Was bad before they made the change but it became much worse afterwards. Ridiculous even if it was free hosting...
There was not much a difference for premium accounts because I have seen an account used only as billing/ClientExec that would return "500" errors even to one pageview per day so that much for the usefulness of their new "policy"...
I understand they have killed or lowered the limits but I never want to deal with such a company ever again no matter how good they become.

| Agreed, I've heard good things about RZ. Every company has good reviews and bad reviews. Most companies strive to make every customer happy, but with the nature of hosting, along with other factors, sometimes it isn't possible. In a previous thread, I would say that I recommend either of the following resources.
HostSearch.com - Almost every host is listed here.
HostVoice.com - Have hosts compete over your custom needs.
ResellerGuide.com - A must read.
These sites are probably not new to you, but if they are, it's a step in the right direction.
Hope this helps.

| We had 100% uptime in the last 2 month. Last month only a server with RZ had less than 99,9% uptime. That server had more than 99,8% however.Uptime is NOT a problem with RZ.
I am very happy with them. I can't say anything about budget plans becouse I haven't used them but Advanced plans are great. An "A" for them until now.

| I would say you should closely evaluate the providers you have listed. Also look for reviews on companies you think are good providers that have features that you need. You can find reviews on some of the providers you have listed. The features that you need are not exclusive and you can find them all around, and from great companies.
