Best reseller host.
| Posted by Navy, 01-17-2003, 04:14 PM |
| I have been with ONEFusion hosting, using their basic reseller plan. It has been the most space I have seen yet. 10G/30G bandwidth for $30/Month. Their tech support is a little delayed, and they have recently been having a problems with server overload. They are a pretty good host though. This company was ideal for me, because I was offering hosting for more than the measly 50-100MB I see offered other places. I have searched and searched and searched, and am not able to find any company that even offers anything close to that amount of space, without having to pay $150/month. I would stay with them, but I might be getting terminated due to some issues dealing with someone witha personal grudge with me. Anyway, can anyone suggest any host like I've described?

| I doubt you'll find a quality host that provides a similar package for a decent price - 10GB of diskspace and 30GB of bandwidth for $30 per month is a lot, and I presume many hosts (ourselves included) could not afford to offer such a plan.
Without overselling and assuming you have 80GB drives in your servers, at max you'd be only able to theoretically fit 7 plans on a server, and $210 revenue per server is no good when your monthly fees for rental are approaching twice that.
Do you really use a whole 10GB of diskspace? That's a hell of a lot of space for a shared hosting environment.
Good luck in your search.

| you are only estimating that their server hold 80GB
and how much is a server you are thinking?
just asking...not saying that you are wrong~ you are correct~! that company is probably overselling and assuming that they wont get up to 10GB space!
but in my country, say an IBM server....cost $29000HK which means roughly $3800-4000US....not includes HDD
and HDD cost $1200HK ($150US) for 120GB
say they have 3 HDD, which makes 360GB ($450US)
now add up of $4450US for the whole thing....now datacentre...i dunno how much it prices but assuming 100US/month
so if the company wants to get all the money back in a YEAR, the company would need to make at least
$4450/12 = 370US/month
ADD 200US/month datacentre
= 570US/month
if they are selling the $30 plan
they will only able to sell 35plans (10GB spare)
35x30=$1050/month
so they will get a profit (without other expenses)
so...is all only depends how much their server prices and their HDD capacity and HOW LONG THEY WANT TO GET THE MONEY BACK FROM THE SERVER!
but....this is what i think..maybe TOTALLY RUBBISH!

| Try hostvps.com. They offer much more than your existing host. Hostvps offers virtual dedicated servers, that means you can get full control, root access to your own virtualized environment.
At present I have the MSE256 package with them. At $29.95, it offers 10GB space, 60GB internap bandwidth. You get a minimum of 256 MB memory and 256 MhZ CPU. Although I'm not using mine to resell, you can easily set it up for this, or even add the Plesk control panel.
You should have a look at the website to see how disk space is allocated or the virtualization is set up, and I think it answers voxtreme-matt's questions about space limitations on a single hard drive.
Service is alright. But at that price, I really can't complain.
