    Hostgator SUCKS BIG TIME.

    There you go, I have said it now, and I feel MUCH better.

    I have been trying for weeks to get autopilot, enom and a simple page set up. I asked for help, was told 'ask on the support forums' I joined the support forums, was told. 'we will activate it within 24 hours' It took 2 weeks. I asked to speed it up and was told 'ask at the forum' (that would be the pro one I can't post in) :D Honestly guys WHATEVER you do, do NOT consider hopelessgator as a host. THEY SUCK SHIT!

    Ok on tho the positives here.

    Can anyone recommend to me a host that can supply similar to what HG offer as a package. ie sitebuilder on the fly, autopilot whm hosting and domain selling automation (with eNOM) (or similar)
    Any help is MASSIVELY appreciated, but please don't just recommend any old host who does hosting but does not offer these services built in. I already have decent hosting, I ONLY selected hostgator for these features.

    To be honest, I dun really know if Startlogic has got those services, but boy they are really really proactive in customer service.

    That is why i am recommending it to whoever is looking for a place to host.
    Hope other people can benefit from this thread too.

    Old Welsh Guy, have i seen you b4 somewhere? I m in Cardiff whaat about u?

    Quite possibly I am in Neath :) I don't go to cardiff much, they eat babies down there and say smaaart (although I used to go to the Grang end, bang the tin roof and throw stones into the bob banks when I was a kid :D)

    Startlogic sucks. You have to wait more than two weeks to add one more domain name to your account.

    Neither of the above provide what the OP is looking for.

    I think you should check out Vurta's Reseller Packages.

    From their website:

    100% private label
    Free billing software (ClientExec)
    Free $8.95 domain reseller account
    Free SEO reseller account
    Free end-user support
    100% 21 day money back guarantee
    Free wysiwygPRO US$1297 License (unlimited distribution to your clients)
    Free setup
    Overselling enabled

    The highlighted ones are features I think you're looking for. BTW, I have a coupon, PM if you want.

    I have hosting accounts with MidPhase, HostGator and KnownHost (VPS). From my experience MidPhase is the worst as they have constant server downtimes. HostGator is pretty good except their support :), though I never really need it so ...

    If you are willing to pay up to $30 per month for a VPS hosting, I would strongly recommend you KnownHost. They have their servers in Dallas DC, awasome support usually reply in less then 15 min, multiple CP to choose from and very very good servers.

    I understand this posts is very old.

    But I just have to say this for the record for future webmasters shopping for webhosting:

    MidPhase SUCKS. they have the longest server downtime, and they keep giving crappy excuses (they lie so much that they can't keep up with it themselves).
