Default Cheap re-seller hosting plans from eBay - 11-22-2005 , 06:29 AM


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello!

I'm looking for a reseller hosting account. In eBay there are offers with unlimited bandwich, unlimited deisc space and unlimited domains with as little as £7.99 per month. What do you think - are these offers trustworthy or no? And maybe you can suggest better offers.

I'm going to host 7 domains for beginning but later maybe more but no more than 10. They don't actually need high bandwich in the beginning but later may need.

I'd be weary of the hosting companies that are selling services on eBay and do as much homework as I could before signing up with them. The first question is: do you need unlimited space and unlimited domains? Second is, wouldn't you move to a dedicated server to protect your client base if you were to reach a nice number of customers?

£7.99 is pretty reasonable sum of money when you convert to dollars and you can find good reputable hosts at this price point that have a proven track records that other members can vouch for.

I also advise to stay away from any company that offer Unlimited Bandwidth or Unlimited Domains. It is just not possible to have those features unlimted. so there is one red flag.

Ok time for the second red flag. Any well respected company would not post their plans on Ebay. Today there are so many resources to advertise your company. Anything from forums like this to advertising compains.

So i guess to wrap it up, you need to research any company you host with.

Here's a line for you:

Can you rent a ferrari for £7.99 per month?

No.

But you can rent a pinto with half of it's back end missing, a rusted engine block, a deteriorated transmission, and no rims for £7.99 per month, but you'll have to fix it up.

In other words, the hosting company in question is gonna be more trouble than good, as you'll be fixing their problems all the time.

Stay away from companies offering solutions on Ebay.
and there is nothing like unlimited hosting(bandwidth/Storage),its always a gimick.
try going for quality and not these type of companies.
Best of Luck.
