WTB - Reseller Account

    I'm looking to buy a reseller account. I have been badly let down in the past with these. My main priority is uptime. It needs to be very reliable!!

    I would like unmetered space and bandwidth. I would love it to be bundled with WHMCS, but its not a huge issues if it's not. I would like you to be able to offer 24/7 end user support too.

    Please let me know prices.

    you keep getting let down because you require specs that will let you down eventually

    for a reseller account you should really look to getting something realistic. Unmetered space and bandwidth is not realistic. After a while they will shut you down. And depending on your budget, you won't be getting WHMCS either. Usually they add the price of WHMCS into their host pricing.

    If you do want something reliable, look over your specs again, pick realistic space and bandwidth levels and think of a reasonable budget. Otherwise You'll be badly let down again.

    I agree, you need to look at what you need... unmetered is not good.

    Just calculate the amount of disk space and bandwidth you need. Your previous hosting experience can help you to find your specs.

    I think 15 to 30 gb will more than enough for you to start, most of the hosts allow overselling and you will be able to sell enough accounts before they actually use that space.
    If they use the space allocated, you can buy extra space from your provider.
    For all the above plan to work, look for good hosts which is running atleast for a year without any problems.

    Good luck for getting a good host.

    Thanks guy, but when the huge companies can offer unmetered, I dont believe it doesn't exist. Unlimited on the other hand, I do believe that doesn't exist.

    Yes unmetered does exist, bandwidth can be unmetered but still there is a physical limit on how much data that can be transferred through the port.
    The hosts which are advertising unmetered disk space or bandwidth will suspend you or will tell you to move if you use more than what an average reseller uses. so in effect its all limited. You won't be able to use 1tb disk space and 20tb bandwidth on an unmetered plan even if host advertises unmetered.
    They will find one or another excuse to kick you off.

    Huge companies that provide a quality service as well,can afford to say they "give" unlimited space (this applies for shared hosting only) because they have hundreds of free TBs at their disposal at any given time so nobody can argue regarding this matter.However in reality they will not let you use a lot of GBs on a shared server if you pay for an "unlimited" plan as other limitations apply.
    You should read their TOS before ordering as no responsible host will ever let you use more resources on a shared server than you should and no serious host will let you affect the other users on that server so,once your site will start to grow and "eat" a bit more than it should for an "unlimited" plan you will be kindly asked to move your site on a vps or on a dedicated server.

    Now,if you want to be a reseller,do not look for unlimited reseller plans, but for "dedicated resources" for your customers (and as well,be careful from what company you buy those resources and triple check it before you do ),otherwise you`ll soon be out of business and called "SC*MMER" even if in reality,you have been sc*mmed by the main "company".

    regards,

    some host may offer you unlimited space+ bandwidth.. but they may not be reliable. Reason, There is nothing called Unlimited spae+ bandwidth in web hosting.

    companies like Hostgator do have unlimited space+ bandwidth shared hosting plans.. but they have no unlimited space+ bandwidth reseller hosting package. Also compare their price......

    either way you don't know a limit - you could try to get into one of those unmetered plans from the huge companies and see how much resources you can actually use before they throw their ToS towards you.
