Reseller Versus Dedicated Server

[roxminu]

I'm a web designer and I would like to have a reseller plan for my clients. However, someone said that it would be better to have a dedicated server for my clients.

 

I don't quite understand what's the difference between the reseller plans and the dedicated server... besides the amount of disk space and data transfer.

 

Secondly, is there any way to have, for example, a reseller program and receive all the payments through your site and then you could make a direct deposit to my bank account?

 

Please help me, I am clueless!

You have a misconception regarding the reseller. You purchase the reseller account which consists of a specific amount of space, then you resell that space in the allocations that you want at the price you want. In other words, you do the billing to the clients, not TCH.

 

As far as dedicated vs. shared. There are advantages of dedicated but you have to way those against the cost. In my opinion, the big disadvantage of shared servers is the over selling of the servers (i.e. too much demand on the server) and not knowing your neighbor (e.g. could be a spammer).

 

Both of those negatives are not relevant here at TotalChoice, they do not oversell their servers (you can see the stats on each server directly for yourself on their main site) and the do an excellent job on monitoring spammers.

 

They were having a heck of a dedicated sale though, not sure if it is still in play. Although their 'normal' dedicated fee is extremely reasonable.

 

Hope this helps.
