Hosting and Bandwidth?

Hey do most hosting companies reset bandwidth at the end of the month or end of the billing cycle?

 

Depends on your hosting company.

Those with cpanel installed usually do it at the beginning of the month

 

Yep, it depends on the control panel being used. This is something you'll have to ask your host about.

 

Hostgator and Bluhost both do it at the end of the month.

 

Layeredtech does it by calender month.

 

We don't reset it at all... This keeps your site from just going off line when you need it most. If you consistently exceed your bw allotment in a given month, we simply suggest moving to a different plane to suit your growing needs. I've always hated going to a web site only to find that it is down because the site owner exceeded their daily and or monthly quota.

If you depend on your site to be up, why take the chance.

 

Usually, bandwidth is sold on a monthly basis.

 

We use cpanel which resets it at the first of the month

 

They usually do it automatically. Cpanel does it i believe.

But dont go for a host such as hostgator. They'll suspend your accuont if you even use 1% of your allowed bandwidth a single day and make up some stupid excuse as into why they did it.

 

Hostgator offers large amounts of bandwith with a small print limiting your daily usage, I'm afraid.

 

The best way is that you contact the hosting supporter. It belongs to hosting provider.

 

That "stupid excuse" is, you pay for what you get.

 

I got a reseller account just recently.
Unlimited everything for one price.
And with 4 nameservers to make sure the sites are up 99.99% of the time.

One day, I may sell hosting accounts.

 

How much does a reseller account cost and from whom

 

Depends on your space and bandwidth requirements.

 

well, i got a 4GB / 70GB reseller on a liquidweb server a month ago for real cheap and am quite satisfied.
