Reseller Hosting

[Murmaider]

Thanks all, i've been checking it out.

Still undecided. Prices differ so dramatically for the specs you get. Even international... i can't find any that can compete with hetzner, am i missing something? (Windows only)

Hetzner
http://www.hetzner.co.za/dedicated-servers/truserv/
R1125 (Windows 2012) - 2TB Traffic, Xeon Quad core, 16Gb ram, 2TB HDD Space
R350 for Plesk
R1475

Domains
https://www.domains.co.za/cloud-server-hosting
R1755 (Windows) - 1.5TB Traffic, 6 Core, 12gb Ram, 300gb HDD
R350 for Plesk
R2105

What im thinking is for Windows (because our main client is ASP and MSSQL based) i'll use a VPS and then for Linux hosting maybe look at a small reseller account for now.

Hi poffle,

Just to clarify, the Hetzner server is a dedicated server with SATA hard drives in raid 1.

What you are quoting of ours is a Cloud Server on a raid 10 SSD San.

The decision would come down to budget and performance requirements with the SSD San being faster on things which require disk access (Like SQL).

You didn't ACTUALLY look at any of the options I gave you.

If you had, you would have found that you could get the same spec for far cheaper PM with more IP's / Traffic. You would then simply load Proxmox or a hypervisor of your choice and then create your VM's and BYOL with regards to Windows / cPanel.

You're making this more expensive than it needs to be and you're paying a premium rate for those spec's - you could probably get double that, at that price point.

Case in point:

Kimsufi
SoYouStart
Online.net
OVH
Hetzner Auctions (https://robot.your-server.de/order/market)

These are all options, some beefier than others but most are definitely cheaper than what you're proposing.

I did look at what you suggested previously but i've been going through so much information that i didn't note those down.
But thank you again.

Some earns per post count. Haha

JCW is the way Trust me. Got VPS's and resellrs with them. Big companis like afrixyz have offices no support, Garage = 24/7 They set up my vps at 3am.

Until you get a fat lawsuit when your clients find out your upstream don't have the compliance and regulations in place.


Garage in Oudtshoorn = avoid it.

OVH is a very good option I mean just look at their prices, their console/dashboard is top class and support is pretty sweet.

They had a outage last month had 2 days downtime, got credited for 3 months as a "for your troubles" gesture plus full transparency on what the current state is etc so could update clients on the fly.
