A lot of the web hosts I Come across are resellers. This is understandable, but is it possible to find out who they are reselling for? Also, is it possible find out who the registrar of a domain is? I know of whois, but it doesn't seem to tell me the original host/registrar.
View 6 RepliesIs there a way to search through all the WHOIS records for a specific contact e-mail address. I'm trying to track a scammer and I've yet to find a search engine that could do this.

How can it be?
Is there any open-source/free alternative to whoiscart?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way you can hide from the whois lookups how many site's you have hosted on your server? Like, for the reverse IP, usually it'll mention how many sites are hosted on the server when you do a whois lookup.
Is there a way to prevent it from doing that?
I went through a good reseller instead of going through the datacenter
They offer great support unlike the datacenter their purchasing from
But i know that data center are professional company.
I did a whois on my domain name everything looks ok, my info.
But when i do a whois on the ip for this domain,
I get the company info for the datacenter.
Can i change this or do i have to purchase my own ip?
Sister company recently asked me to start offering VPS reseller accounts as part of our product range but after researching how other companies are doing this, i fear i may have gotten this wrong.
My thinking on the VPS reselling process was as such, like a reseller account, as in, the customer buys a chunk of space/ram/bandwidth and then cuts it up into however they like and sells it at profit.
However, i have realised this is not the case with other companies, they give you a discount per how many VPS's you order, or do the whole affiliate referral scheme.
We have the "advantage" of using HyperVM where we can setup clients to have a certain amount of ram/clients/ip's/bandwidth/disk space, hell, they can even setup vps's accross different nodes. Im sorry if this sounds like a sales post, the main part im trying to get at is, why do others companies not provide this? Am i missing an important security issue?
I wanted to offer my clients vps hosted by me, but because of the time, effort and risk factors.
Beacuse of this I am interested in vps resell. I need a few things:
I will handel support,
The sever will have to be unbranded, no way of the client knowing it is a resold server,
Windows OS.
I am looking to buy from the provider at around these prices:
512mb ram, 20gb HDD, 300gb bandwith - $20 per month
256mb ram, 10gb HDD, 200gb bandwith - $10 per month
Is there any good companies that allow people to resell their VPS's and offer discounts to the reseller?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've noticed a lot of VPS hosts that use other control panels besides cpanel, but what I'm looking to do is get a reseller account and have WHM/Cpanel on it. I haven't seen a host offer to install this for me when setting up the VPS, are there any companies that do this?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI just contacted support at my current VPS provider about an issue I had when setting up a reseller account and here the (partial) reply I received.
Quote:
You are reselling? You are not allowed to resell with the package you are on. VPS packages can't handle this much as its still a shared environment.
Supposedly the server is a Dual Xeon 3.0ghz with 2mb cache, 8gb RAM, 15,000 RPM SCSI drives in RAID 5 and hotswap, triple redundant power supplies and it can't handle reselling? WTF?
I'm not even actually reselling as the reseller account I setup was for my wife so that she can manage her own domains!
I think the VPS package maybe a rip anyways at $114/month:
20 GB HD, 2048 MB (384 MB Guaranteed), 300GB/Month, Cpanel w/ WHM, Full Management, Monitoring, Root Access, Daily Backup
The only reason I even am using this particular host is that I used to have a dedicated with them and was looking to downsize due to some cash-flow problems.
I forget the technical term for this. But I wish to be able to change the abuse email upon IP lookup to ensure abuse gets dealt with as swiftly as possible. There will be obvious trust issues involved however. Do any providers offer this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI got a new box, replaced it with my old one, and the whois program only shows registry portion, but not registrar portion.
I see when it expires and stuff, but not the registrant info you know.
never run into this before, can someone come with a solution?
It's standard CentOS.
Anyone can let me know whois server for .asia and .mobi domain?
And what's the response key? NOT FOUND or No match for?
I want to hide my NS records on WHOIS lookup, or show a fake or something so that no one can find me, Is it possible,
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am looking on reselling VPS packages, i have had a look around and the prices seem very high and the commission they offer is quite low.
Preferably would like sell US and EU vps packages, so a company who does have datacentres in both continents will be ideal.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm about to launch a viral project that has realy good potential to strike it big, but would like to clear a few things first.
I would not like to have it associated with my name - not that it anything illegal, but in real life I'm doing something completely different and on the record would like to keep it that way.
So that probably means keeping the whois private - but I have another question as well. Suppose the project strikes it big - would a diggin journalist be able to still get my name/data from a hosting company too?
Is there a good hosting company with an all-inclusive service that you could recommend (that would get me a private hosting plan + a private domain name/whois)? And that would be reasonably priced of course + more importanty reliable (note have problems if/when there is a massive traffic surge to my site at one point in time)
Would probably take a shared hosting plan - need only PHP and imagemagick to start with. But again - bit part of my concern is what happens if the project makes it big and there is a lot of traffic - so ideally "unlimited" bandwidth and responsive admins...
Linusx VS Windows?
Which one is better?
I'm thinking about getting into reselling dedicated servers, and would like to know if any of you here have done this in the past or present and what your experience was or is doing it.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI currently have a series of websites hosted with HostGator. The thing is, having a series of shared hosting plans starts to add up after a while. What I was considering was purchasing a reseller account (which will save us about $15/month) and then just hosting all our websites from there, obviously, not reselling the plans, just using them internally. For the savings, it seems like a logical thing to do. When we purchased shared plans, I bought bigger plans than we need, expecting the sites to grow (which some have, others have not).
Has anyone done this? Do you suggest it? Would there be a better way than buying a reseller account (We can't afford a dedicated server quite yet)?
For what you used to use Dedicated Servers?
For your hosting purpose or for reselling them to your hosting clients?
I've moved several .uk domains from 1and1 due to their limited DNS service.
I'm now using 123-reg, everything is going fine apart from the domains wont resolve without www (custom dns). The servers config is fine as other domains are resolving correctly including .uk. If I use my nameservers the domain also resolves correctly, just custom DNS I seem to be having problems with.
I've currently got the following setup at the registrars end:
www A myip
* A myip
ftp A myip
I currently run 16 boxes which I rent from various data centers, mark-up and resell. Conventional wisdom says that it's time for me to start colocating my own servers. I've got approval for capital (loan) so it's no problem for me to just buy these boxes and colo them. But... how the hell does anyone afford it?
I mean, I can get a cabinet in H.E. with 10Mbps burst to 100Mbps for $600/mo (through EGI). Which is an insanely good deal until you realize that it only includes 15amps of power. So (I think) that means that I can really only run about 15 or 20 Celerons at the most. So much for filling up the rack.
Optimistically, if I can run 20 Celerons which I've priced at about $700 each including shipping -- plus a switch, KVM, spare parts and bank interest over 24 months -- that's about $800/mo for the servers plus $600 for the cab, plus about $200/mo for remote hands in case I need the DC guys to do something. I'm looking at about $80/mo per server which I have to pay whether it's rented or not.
I can easily find celerons for $80/mo which include some level of support and I can very easily cancel whenever my client does and buy a fresh new one whenever I get a new client.
I was all excited to go colo -- but the numbers don't add up. What am I missing here? What's the big advantage to all the extra hassle of owning your own?
if its possible to find a VPS reseller that allows you access to their HyperVM or Xen installation, soo you can add/remove/update accounts instant with out going through their management system ?
I really think this type of service has potenial, if its possible to do this in a safe way and low cost.
