Buying Is reseller hosting best option?

    I'm looking to change my host and hosting package.

    I currently have about 10 websites including a couple of e commerce sites and a large web directory. My sites are spread across three different shared hosting packages and the host with my directory keeps suspending my hosting package for hogging server resources at times, thus half my sites go down.

    I've looked at reseller packages as these seem to suit my needs, I've also looked at vps hosting but I know very little about hosting let alone about configuring servers. I'm happy with cpanel.

    I'm looking to consolidate my sites into one place and one package. I intend to create quite a few more sites.

    Reseller Vs VPS seem roughly same on price from what I can see.

    Is reseller the best way to go?

    And can anyone recommend a good, reliable UK based host with real support?

    Server resources problem with continue with reseller hosting also.
    I will suggest you to upgrade to a 1GB VPS.

    I recommend VPS it has better control and performance, for UK based VPS I recommend Shopaserver's VPS plan they are offering 1 Gps port speed at UK , it will give you better speed and performance as most of hosts offer 100 mbps only.

    Thanks for the advice.

    I've been been looking into VPS and as I know very little about hosting, I would need a fully managed VPS.

    I did look at shopserver but their fully managed VPS servers are located in Dallas, Texas, I would only really look at a UK based host.

    vps.net can be a good choice. I think they have both US and UK based VPS.

    I can agree that VPS hosting solution will give you more opportunities.

    Have you tried to do Google search on all possible reliable web hosts?

    I went for a fully managed VPS in the end
