I 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.
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?

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.
is there such a thing as game reselling and could some one suggest a provder?

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.

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 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.
Is there any recommended hosts that offer Dedicated Server with Virtuozzo License. What are the things to look for when choosing a provider for VPS offering. What is the recommended hardware for average VPS hostings.
I remember The Planet used to offer Dedicated Servers with Virtuozzo license a few years back but I couldn't find this information anymore there. Who are the lead players for dedicated servers for VPS currently in the industry?
I know some hosting companies will let you resell web hosting as well as dedicate servers. I was curious to know if there were any VPS reseller packages out there? And if so what companies offer such solutions?

Ive just modified the WHMCS Packages/WHM Packages now its displaying the first Package quota and somehow Unlimited Bandwidth but i have nowhere unlimited Bandwidth defined Any Ideas?
It should say 2500MB Space and 500GB Bandwidth
SOLVED: Looks like WHMCS is updating also the Account packages as soon the Cron Job is executing the cron script. I used admin/cron.php to make it refresh and it worked.
But i still have the problem that its displaying Unlimited Bandwidth
am moving to a new VPS (replacement) and know there's some way to copy over the list of packages to the new server. the whm migrate tool does not copy the actual packages. i recall somewhere on these forums where a user had mentioned some file that could be transferred to the new server which contains all the package data?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHas anyone put together a list of minimum packages required for a LAMP box on RHEL4?
After doing a so-called "minimal" server install, there are several packages I uninstall during the hardening process (anacron at autofs cups* gpm irda-utils isdn4k-utils nfs* pcmcia-cs portmap redhat-lsb xinetd yp-tools ypbind). While deploying a new box recently, I got to thinking about how many other packages included in the so-called "minimal" install aren't really necessary on a typical LAMP server. Obviously the answer is "it depends", but... what else are folks uninstalling?

I've been on shared hosting for ages but I needed to add an IP and site5 only allows one per account (even on the 'multi-site' plans). Before that I was with Pair Networks.
So, I got the VPS server all setup and I went through and did the initial configuration of the WHM. I have two IPs with my account. My question is about setting up packages and dedicated IPs. When I first set up a package with a dedicated IP, it only lets me choose the second IP on my account. So, I created a package without a dedicated IP for the first site. But now it's on a shared package. So, I take it I can't setup two dedicated IP packages unless I have 3 IPs? Does the cPanel access for the package with the dedicated IP allow for SSL functions? The cpanel access for my first account doesn't have any SSL options - so I guess I need to manage that with the WHM?
Anyway, if someone would be so kind as to shed a little light on the topic of IPs and packages with dedicated IPs and SSL management for accounts under both types of packages,

When I run yum update as normal it always says something like
Added xx packages, deleted 0 old in x seconds.
I was wondering where ARE these old packages stored? It seems like every time I run yum update it uses a tiny bit of my disk space whenever it downloads all the packages, seems natural though. But for all I know I probably have update package downloads from when the OS was first installed...
My question is, if they are anywhere, how do I just clean out ALL old packages from yum update that I don't need anymore? Are there old packages sitting in there because it says "deleted 0 old" all the time? Just curious because it all adds up when I think about it.
And oh one more question, when I update the kernel - I noticed it keeps packing kernel files in /boot/. How can I tell which of these I don't need anymore? It seems to be getting quite full.
Linux user trying to install a few packages on a new dedicated Debian server.
Following some tutorials, I installed Apache1.3 & PHP4 using apt-get install and had them up and running no problem.
I then decided to change the versions, so removed them using apt-get remove and deleted the relevant folders from /etc (this was before I knew of the apt-get --purge option).
I then tried to install Apache2 and PHP5, and although it appears to have worked, folders are not created for them in /etc so it doesn't work.
Is there a way of doing a fresh clean install so that the folders are created? I've tried apt-get clean without success.
Alternatively, a way to rollback Debian to it's previous state before I got my grubby little hands on it!
