Reseller Or Virtual ?

[Friend]

Hi,

 

I am looking forward to resell hosting services but I am not sure if the reseller plan is better than the virtual. I have made some comparison for my actual 5 sites:

 

Reseller:

 

5 websites on a reseller account would look like this each:

 

1.$4/month - bandwidth/m= 3,2GB Disk Space= 200MB

 

 

And each on a Virtual:

 

1.$4/month - bandwidth/m= 10GB Disk Space= 450MB

 

Reseller sounds to me like what I need but it makes no sense if I add more sites to the reseller account already having 5 sites because this would decrease bandwidth and disk space and at the end I end up paying bandwidth that exceeds.

 

Obviously I add my commissions to the packages but I don't like going very high so maybe you have a commissions plan where I can get virtual hosting cheaper if I buy a specific amount of virtual accounts a month?

 

OK, I think that’s my main concern. I appreciate your help

 

Sincerely,

Your Friend

Hello Friend, welcome to the forums. We do not offer discounts for bulk hosting purchases. While packages in a reseller account may be smaller, most sites do not use the entire space in a virtual package as it is. If your sites need that much space and bandwidth then five virtual accounts or a bigger reseller account is the way to go.

Welcome to the forums friend!

OK, thank you very much.

 

I'll probably stay with the virtual accounts because it has more bandwidth and size for the same price

Thanks!

 

A nice week to all of you!

Hi Friend and welcome!

 

I like my reseller account because it's easier to manage and I can customize my bandwidth/disk space for smaller/larger sites. That whole 200Mb, for instance, can be used as 20 X 10Mb sites or 1 100Mb and 10 X 10Mb or even 2 X 100Mb sites. That and to jump from one cPanel to the other is easier.

 

Don't forget, your main reseller account doesn't count against that allotment. a 200Mb reseller can have 200Mb in his own site and 200Mb to split among his clients.

 

Good to see you, happy decision making!

Hi again

 

Hmm.. now I am not shure anymore and I might want Reseller after all

 

One question about the Reseller I do have. If I split my account lets say to 5 people will they all be able to individually login to cpanel and let's say manage their own e-mails and use the cgi library and stuff you could do on a virtual account?

 

And another question about something I have been wondering lately but haven't found much information... I have noticed a few people have a kind of digital signature on their emails when they send to me. Does it have to do with ssl? or is this independent from TCH?

 

ok, that would be it.

 

Thanks again very much,

In your reseller Web Host Manager

you will create packages of space and bandwidth

then create an account for a domain selecting one of your packages

the customer can log in to their own cpanel the same way a virtual account would.

With all the features you allow, including e-mail accounts.

The cgi-bin is standard.

[TCH-Rob]

First question; yes they will have their own login to their own domain. Second; that is independant of TCH, you can get your own at many places that also provide SSL certs.

 

Dang it, Don beat me again.

What you're talking about is a digital signature (which is used to verify that the person who says they sent it actually sent it). If you use Thunderbird as your mail client, check out Enigmail.
