Cheap Reseller hosting

Anyone recommend a decent cheap reseller host. Yes there are such things. Although not the case with my current one.

Looking for <£100 pa. cpanel/mysql etc.... for circa +- 20 sites.
I have a couple already but want to spread things around.
uk based preferred but not necessary.

Had enough of shite service im getting from the cock at one of the hosts i use.

evohosting and eukhost are ones im considering but want to find some more reviews.

thanks in advance.

Been with them before. Experienced fair bit of downtime and had major php issues which caused most of my sites to show errors and lose rankings. so not for me.

thanks anyway.

Hi Stender

I've been using wesh.co.uk for several months now. Looks like their 200mb Shared Hosting package might meet your needs - up to 20 domains, £84 per year

I went with them because of their excellent support - a real person on the end of the phone!

HTH

Cheers, Jon

I had a consultancy job to move all of a customer's domains from an assortment of Euk reseller accounts to other resellers he had due to the level of service (or lack of!) he was getting from euk.

Feel free to drop me a PM with your full requirement and I'll get a quote sorted for you.

Is a reseller account essential ?

Evo's £20 a year in half price sale (2 yrs for £40) allows 20 domains. Unless you need separate login details for each domain then that maybe a better option. This gives 3gb disk space and 60gb bandwidth, or for double 1 @ £40 / 2 @ £80, that gives you 8gb Disk and 160gb bandwidth and unlimited sites.

I've had around 30 hosts in 10 yrs, evo is the only one I have held an account with for more than a year or so.

I'm looking hosting my next £5,000+ a year dedicated server with them, which will mean I will be paying them a substantial sum all in.

They also have a pretty good affiliate program, I just wish you could link directly to products with the affiliate link rather than just the generic link. Since I have my affiliate link on a perm shortcut http://clients.evohosting.co.uk/********?aff=060 (aff link, right click remove it if you like), the discount code is enter 'HALF' to get half price and you can get upto 2 yrs half price, this is for new and existing customers.

Don't really need reseller just a habit of calling it that. I'm looking to move about 20ish domains from one of my hosts who charges c£100 for 5gb space and 50gb bandwidth but the support is absolutely shite! I will name and shame once i've moved! EVO offer similar for about half the price.

i've heard mixed about euk and had a look on their forum and there didnt seem to be many complaints. But i'll take heed and give them a miss.

So shortlist of EVO and KRYSTAL any more views on these 2 please?

Tried buying evo's 8gb 160gb shared hosting using your affil link which is advertised as their double promo at £39.16 but on checkout it comes up double the price at £78.32!
The £39 doesn't mention using the half code so you would think you could get 50% off £39. I thought i'd contact to see what the story is but in order to contact them you have to register and open a support ticket. I register and then they want you to enter your cpanel password in order to create a ticket!!!!!!!! How the bloody hell have I got a cpanel password!!!!Arghhhhh!

Not a good start! lets try krystal.

p.s evo's site doesn't inspire confidence when you have images not displaying and a wordpress feel about it.

It says on the hosting page about using the half code at the bottom of the page (see pic), I think it needs adding to the top as well but not my site



Goto the contact page http://www.evohosting.co.uk/about/contact-us, should be Toby who gets the messages

I can only speak for dreamhost and evo the former I use to hammer bandwidth, and the latter for everything else.
