I've been thinking about becoming a reseller for Host Gator. Does anyone have any experience with their reseller program?
Can anyone provide me with any tips about reselling? Is there anything I should know about? Is it difficult to do? Is it time consuming?
If you had to chose either Host Gator or Hawk Host which would you go with and why? Don't bring any other hosts into consideration just compare these two. This would be for a standard website, forum, and a few downloads if it makes a difference...nothing too fancy.

Quote:
Revenue commitment: Reseller is required to purchase a minimum of $200.00 per month from Limestone Networks. Reseller will be billed the amount of $200.00 or the difference in Reseller's monthly purchases less than $200.00. Reseller will have 90 days to ramp up from date of signed Limestone Networks Reseller agreement to $200.00 per month in purchases from Limestone Networks.
I then joined live chat, and inquired about what it meant and they weren't helpful. Is there anyone on this forum that is in the reseller program and can help me understand what this means?
How do you know if a host is a reseller?
I am looking for a web host. I'd like to stay away from resellers, but I'm not sure how to tell if a company is a reseller or the 'original'. How do you find out?
How do we know if a host provider is actually a reseller-host?
Is a whois-tool can help here?
How can one tell the "hosting company" that advertise hosting is a reseller or owns the data center?
I bet 99% are resellers but how can one find out ? is there a web tool?
I bought a reseller account because i had a dozen or so sites and could save money etc taking charge of them. I bought a reseller account. After a while with my hosting company I am unhappy with the uptime so I have set up another reseller account with hostgator.
I now need to move all my sites over.
I understand what I need to do is;
(these are simple, non database, non wordpress sites btw)
Make a backup of site
Put backup of site on new reseller account
repoint dns for site on old reseller account to new reseller account
job done!
I have backed up my site and now want to upload it to my new location. I have setup the domain account in my reseller control panel.
My problem is how/where do i upload these files to? I think I need a direct IP address as if i ftp to ftp.sitename.com that onviously sends me to the reseller account i am trying to leave.
I know my reseller ip address, but how does that relate to the sites i am going to host...?
I noticed a trend - I don't know if it's very new, but it can't be very old either - that quite a few people are looking for hosting and specifically ask that the host is not a reseller. Obviously they have somehow decided that a reseller is not a good choice for them.
A host that rents servers from a datacenter and then sells shared hosting and/or reseller hosting accounts or whatever other types of packages, is in fact reselling what it has bought from its provider. Despite that, it is generally regarded as a full-fledged host. Sure, they do take care that the servers are managed properly, that they are secure, they provide customer support, so they add to the original product that they have bought, but in essence they are resellers.
The first one is that the reliability, the uptime and server performance depend almost entirely on the upstream provider (the host behind the reseller). Considering that the reseller did a good job in finding a great upstream host, these things should be fine, but, unfortunately, in their search to get the best deal out there, many hosting resellers (if not most of them) end up being hosted for just a few bucks a month on highly overcrowded servers with stability and performance problems, frequent downtime etc. which will in turn translate into poor service for the end user.
The other major concern is the knowledgeability of the reseller. The very ease of becoming a reseller and the fact that almost anyone, or, as a WebHostingTalk user said it once, "anybody and his dog", can be a reseller, makes it very hard for some to trust a hosting reseller.
I would never say a reseller is a bad choice, but some things are not to be expected from a reseller. For example most resellers are a one man show and thus 24/7 365 days a year support can not be achieved without outsourcing some of it. This however is not a very cost effective solution for low volumes and this is why most resellers provide all the support themselves, which will obviously not be 24/7.
Also a reseller has only so much freedom on the server. A reseller cannot do some things and has to ask his own host to do them for him. That means it will take longer for those things to get solved.
On the plus side, a reseller often gets to know his customers and their needs and the client-reseller relationship often gets quite close. A friendly tone is worth for some people more than a 99.99% uptime statistic. If you're one of those people a reseller could very well be the right choice.
I am running some blogs on JustHost, a WordPress Web Hosting recommended by WordPress. You can visit my JustHost Review for reference.
I'm interested in maybe moving all my reseller hosting and domain registration from United Hosting and Low Cost Names respectively... So I'm interested in hearing what you are using and why... I'm a freelancer who resells space, I live in the UK and am wanting the best companies to work it for me and my clients...
A few reasons why I want to change right now is that United Hosting just doesn't offer enough space for me, and I'm finding it more and more expensive for the value I'm getting. Though they are good as they allow me to edit php.ini files, have ImageMagick, and offer webmail to my clients etc. I do like Low Cost Names, but again I'm finding the lack of CNAME records a little disappointing.
So... what are your best reseller host and domain registrator to you and why?
I’m looking to find some opinions on what attributes constitute a superior reseller host. Anyone care to share?
View 7 Replies View RelatedWe currently use a hosting company in the UK to host about 13 of our clients websites. The domains have been registered with many different companies to complicate things even more!
We do not host their email. The clients look after their email themselves but obviously use the same domain as the website in their email addresses.
We would now like to move these websites to a new hosting company which I have already set up. I've uploaded all the files and databases so all that's in place and seems to be working well.
Now the complicated part (for me anyway)!
I'm not sure what I need to do in order to change where the site is hosted from and NOT change anything about the clients email settings. I believe I do not need to change the DNS settings as this may disrupt the email settings which I don't want. Do I need to change only the IP address to the new server?
My new hosting plan is on a Virtual dedicated server if that's important.
What ftp program do you use?
I use FileZilla
I'm trying to program a very simple shell script that does 2-3 things.
1) checks for the number of a script running say, "ps aux | grep php | wc -l" returns that number.
2) deletes temp files folders "cd /to/that/directory/; rm -fr *&" every 90 seconds IF that number in check #1 is below say 50....
and then have this shell script launched in shell every so often, not sure on the frequency but first is how to program in shell is a TIME DELAY....

the old server's hard drive is maxed so when i tried to use cpanel transfer account thing it worked, but obviously alot of things were missing
so now i need to transfer the rest of the data that is in his home account
my old server account ends at midnight tonight so I cant try to download stuff to here because my internet is about the speed of good dial up
so i need something that will transfer from one ftp account directly to another so my bandwidth isnt a factor
to me this is a technical issue ; ) im just a server hobbyist so I don't know much about linux commands to make this happen if this is possible to do on the command line
easiest way would be a windows based ftp to ftp program, and the one I have claims to do that but it wont work
I joined Webhostingbuzz(WHB) affiliate program on Nov. 2007
And made 3 sales before Feb. 2008
And all these 3 sales are APPROVED after 1 or 2 months
But still I am not get paid in April
Then I wrote an email to them ask about this issue
and after about several days they told me that it was still not the time for the payment
I just had to wait
And May came, I wrote the secod email,
they told me
Quote:
Please note that for a commission to become valid the referred website has to be active and running.
I am not sure why the customer I referred did not run his site on WHB, but I guess one possible reason might be like this

Then, in June, I wrote the 3rd email ask about the same issue
And now this time is even better, they totally ignored my email!
How time flies, here comes July
Let's see how they will surprise me and us
I've seen everyone and there grandma promoting Hostgator. I was wondering if you can share if you're converting sales or not. I'm guessing the Hostgator program works if everyone seems to have an affiliate account.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI am currently using WinSCP to edit files on remote servers on the fly without having to download them and then open them. WinSCP works fine, but today I experienced a severe problem for a second time.
When saving a file (a css file), WinSCP gave me an error something to the effect of "Lost connection - Could not list directory"...or something like that. When I reconnected, the file has gone corrupt at 0 bytes. Ultimately, the file is history!
Thankfully, I had a backup of the file, but more specifically, I am a fan of "Ctrl+A " then "Ctrl+C" before saving any file when doing live edits. This is what saved my butt!
I have a continuous problem of losing my connection with the remote servers, but when I connect via SSH to my local servers (either locally here or when I am mobile), I do not believe I have EVER lost my SSH connection.
My question is this...
Is there another FTP program out there that anyone can recommend that will allow me to edit files over FTP that does not require download, then open? Filezilla works great, but to my knowledge, I can only download each file, then open.
I have reported the problem to the host and we have gone through the settings with WinSCP and I have also been to WinSCP about this issue...all to no avail.

Before I go ahead and go with Host Gator, I wanted to ask if any site pointers knew of a competitive solution that was a bit greener.
if there is a good software for linux servers.. basically I just want to recieve a carbon copy to my email address of any mail that gets sent from my server.. any mail sent whatso-ever, via php or however it gets sent, basically a catch-all.
I am worried about spammers using my server to send mail.
