Hello -
I've hosted a single domain with TCH for a while now and have been satisfied with the service.
I've been considering upgrading to a reseller account since I've recently been offered the opportunity to design and host several additional web sites. My concern is focused on the pricing scheme for reseller accounts. Comparing the virtual hosting accounts to the reseller accounts, I can't see much benefit to upgrade to a reseller account.
For instance, a Standard Reseller account offers 60GB bandwidth, 3.3GB storage, and all of the amenities for $35.00/month. Now, compare that to a single Silver virtual hosting plan which offers 40GB bandwidth, 1.2GB storage, and all of the amenities for $5.00/month. For the same price as the Standard reseller account, one could potentially purchase 7 separate Silver virutal hosting accounts to provide 280GB of bandwidth, 8.4GB of storage, and all of the same amenities (assuming that you're hosting 7 different domains/sites). I understand that many hosted websites need nothing more than basic needs to host plain text and basic graphics, so its possible they'd not need all of the bandwidth allotted to them. I'm guessing thats where a reseller account would be most useful.
Is there something I'm missing when it comes to a Reseller account? It doesn't really seem like much of a bargain unless I intended on hosting dozens of very, very small, text-only websites.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
