Web Host (Re-Sellers) Linux WANTED
 

Hi all.

I'm looking for a UK based host who offers a Re-Seller package (inc WHM, C-Pan). I need it to be UK based (not US or any other)

I dont want to sound rude, but I dont want members here saying they can offer a Re-Seller account for £xx a year. I've been there & have the t-shirt (lol i-Web). I just want to know what Big UK hosts would you recomend?

Cheers

Can you get full whm as a reseller unless it's on a dedicated or virtual server??

Re: Web Host (Re-Sellers) Linux WANTED
 

Cannot vouch for their service but:

Are big.

Re: Web Host (Re-Sellers) Linux WANTED
 

WHM I have on other Re-Seller allows me to make a Package & asign Domain to that package & suspend it if needed. Not FULL WHM,

Re: Web Host (Re-Sellers) Linux WANTED
 

You will need a VPS or a Dedicated Server for full WHM I think (The cheapest option of the 2 is VPS), the only one I can suggest right now that uses CPanel/WHM and offers reasonably priced VPSs is www.hostforweb.com - BUT they're based in the USA, worth a look though :)

Re: Web Host (Re-Sellers) Linux WANTED
 

I've had a US based one before & to contact them at times is a NIGHTMARE. Thats why I wanted UK based I could ring if it got serious.

I said WHM & C-Panel as I want a way to add package (like 300mb, 1GB B/W) & then assign Domain Website to it. But as long as a ReSeller UK based could do it (without WHM) thats fine.

iWeb, Voo & others offered WHM/C.Panel.

Looking for another (under £150 a year if possible) or any Hosting (not Reseller) that would allow me to add 20+ sites to my Main account?

Re: Web Host (Re-Sellers) Linux WANTED
 

Well the best ones provide support 24/7 and reply within 1hr, How much space and bandwidth do you need per month? Also, are you hosting your own sites - or going to sell (or give away) to other people as well?

Work well for me.

Re: Web Host (Re-Sellers) Linux WANTED
 

Ever thought of hosting yourself?

I have an old p4 running centos/ispconfig on my connection which is only ~800k u/l speed, ~3m d/l speed dishing out e-mails and www's for 5 sites whirring away in my garage lol after I got hacked off with hosting companies.

Cost next to nothing other than a bit of power.

Re: Web Host (Re-Sellers) Linux WANTED
 

I'm disabled so I'd rather pay a bit & have it hosted direct....


Not selling packages, I design a few sites & need to host them for client (I do it for free & ask them to donate my fee's to charity). So I'm looking for a low cost option (not like Fasthosts £500 a year) lol

Looking for 5-10GB (Min). 50GB or more Monthly, PHP support & thats about it.



Thanks for the links, I'm looking at all options :)

Re: Web Host (Re-Sellers) Linux WANTED
 

I did the same (though originally on a P3-800/512 :) Now on a P4-2Ghz/1.5Gb that I bought for 20 quid off ebay.

Centos5.3/Vitualmin/Webmin and runs about 10 domains and email. With up/down speeds ever increasing it's probably the way to go for a lot of people in the future.

Re: Web Host (Re-Sellers) Linux WANTED
 

JediMaster, I've been with HostForWeb for years and the few times I've ever had to use their support, I've found it second to none, they always answer emails quickly and if you have to phone them their support is great :) The only reason I'm leaving them is that I'm going with 1&1 as they are slightly more competitively priced, although unfortunately they use Plesk so I'm moving everything over manually and gradually and testing it fully

Re: Web Host (Re-Sellers) Linux WANTED
 

I wouldn't recommend Eukhost, it's mixed reviews - and they tend you terminate you as it's mostly oversold.

I'd recommend Webhosting UK, I've used them before for a VPS, they are expensive - but they deffo offer the best service and support. Their uptime is remarkable also; plus they have been in business since 2001.

Re: Web Host (Re-Sellers) Linux WANTED
 

There is some very simple advice here - stay away from the "unlimted" deals, people like, Heart, Fasthosts etc etc

I would say, take a look at my offerings PHP 5, WHM / cPanel - wide variety of PHP Modules - Realtime backups. Drop me a PM http://www.yeshosting.co.uk

Also, web hosting uk is owned by EUKHost :)

Re: Web Host (Re-Sellers) Linux WANTED
 

Really? Since when?, I've never had any problems with Webhosting UK, but have seen alot of mixed feedback about Eukhost.

Re: Web Host (Re-Sellers) Linux WANTED
 

I've been looking at http://www.hostdime.co.uk anyone have first hand knowledge? I've tried to read reviews but most were 2006-2008. They have UK phone number & are part of a USA large firm.

Other option is 1&1 Virtual Server.... cost £14.99 PCM but only 30 Domains allowd (is that 30 Sites? or 30 domains inc Parked?) I have a site with 5x Domains (.com, .co.uk, .tv & so on), so if I parked them on the Main site would it count as 1 or 5?

Re: Web Host (Re-Sellers) Linux WANTED
 

I was with Hostdime for just over a year, the first few months on a reseller package, as it's a shared resource I found my sites dropping down with php/sql errors most nights due to others abusing the resources..

I then moved to thier VPS service (no domain limits), managed to get a good deal which cost me $40 a month, was happy with the service apart from it being a bit limited with memory and only 15Gb disk space (remember that includes the OS installation). Found thier helpdesk good and the forums also good. Eventually moved to VM business when I realised I could get a 10Mb cable business connection and host my own server and still cost the same as the VPS and ADSL combined

Re: Web Host (Re-Sellers) Linux WANTED
 

Whats the advantage of VPS vs ReSeller? Thanks Kymmy for the ifo on PHP/MySQL. My sites are mostly PHP, but only use "include" tags (not like PHPBB Forums, MySQL & other stuff). Would this affect me also?

I use PHP include in all pages to include the Navbar & other stuff on sites.

Re: Web Host (Re-Sellers) Linux WANTED
 

The anything like php/tags/mysql and even standard web pages will time out if resources get limited.

A reseller account you tend NOT to have shell access and the totall server CPU/MEM can be hogged by someone running scripts, where a VPS is a single powerfull machine that is split between a few users, the VPS software then running on the server gives each user root access to thier own individual area and thier own resources. One user can NOT therefore use resources that another user wants to use.

In the end it's like having a dedicated server but which is slightly limited (for example you can't easily update the kernel..)

Re: Web Host (Re-Sellers) Linux WANTED
 

That's not entirely accurate, a reseller would have jailed shell access

Re: Web Host (Re-Sellers) Linux WANTED
 

VPS @ http://www.webhosting.uk.com/vps-hosting.php Starter 10GB / 300GB & £5 extra for WHM/C.Panel Unlimted Domains (is this a good deal/host?)

Re: Web Host (Re-Sellers) Linux WANTED
 

I've used them before, the starter pack then upgraded to the bigger ones - It was quite good, no problems.

You get the full WHM in that one so it's quite good, price is £230 for the whole year, so not sure if you want to exceed your budget, but it's managed as well so if you have any problems - they will sort it out for you, support has always been nice for me.

Re: Web Host (Re-Sellers) Linux WANTED
 

Incorrect, NO UK Host with cPanel / WHM will give Jailed SSH - it's like giving the keys of your house to someone and saying, please don't steal my possesions.

Not going to happen.

Re: Web Host (Re-Sellers) Linux WANTED
 

How so? If the shell is jailed there is no access to anything of meaning, just the ability to run scripts, which assuming all permissions are set correctly have little chance of doing anything harmful

Re: Web Host (Re-Sellers) Linux WANTED
 

No - Jailed access - is still SSH - somebody, that knows what they are doing can still cause some serious damage, on a shared system - I;ve seen it before, a client, who has a dedicated box from us, gave his client Jailed SSH and the client really went to town on the box. It's a serious security risk.

Re: Web Host (Re-Sellers) Linux WANTED
 

They obviously hadn't locked it down very well then

Re: Web Host (Re-Sellers) Linux WANTED
 

No they hadn't, they allowed the user to excute files out of his "public_html" even if a box is locked down well, the more "secure" it becomes the less it is usable as a web hosting box.

Re: Web Host (Re-Sellers) Linux WANTED
 

Spoken to sales at http://www.webhosting.uk.com & they recomended me start with ReSeller http://www.webhosting.uk.com/reseller-hosting.php

Saves me getting out of budget & a VPS server.

Re: Web Host (Re-Sellers) Linux WANTED
 

Just remember, they are owned by EUKHost.
