I asked this same question 2 months ago on here, and I wound up going with diyhosting.com. i couldn't be happier with them, and they just upgraded to hsphere 2.4 yesterday. they get so many recommendations and good reviews... they desrve it they put so much effort in to the support extras i'm waiting a few months before doing a full review because you never know what could happen but so far everything is going extremely good Thanks!

I think they were looking for h-sphere reseller hosting accounts. Not people who resold h-sphere licenses. There is a list of hosts who offer h-sphere reseller accounts here if you like: http://www.hspherehosts.com/browse/cat,5/page,0 Other then that wait for recommendations that you originally asked for. Good luck with your search.

It is a good place to start your research from.

Thanks for the help. I took a look at DIYHosting. They seem very good although their bigger packages are well into the dedicated server price point. Is h-sphere more expensive than cPanel, Plesk etc. or is it just that DIYHosting are an upmarket company? The reason I am looking at h-sphere is because I read great things about its fully integrated merchant services. I want to start reselling but I do not want to get initially overwhelmed with script integration tasks. I want to be able to allow customers to go to the site, choose a package and then get set up with minimal manual intervention. I will do some searching around on WHT because I am sure I am not the first person who tried toi do this :-) Last edited by ChrisBowd; 09-11-2004 at 11:26 PM.

I don't want to chime in too much, about ourselves, but just very quickly on this point: Here's a quick mark-up of the differences between an unmanaged server, and a H-Sphere reseller account: Dedicated server: 1: 1 server, all services - no redundancy / clustering of services 2: Unmanaged environment (based on the costs) 3: One operating system. 4: You basically support yourself (as per #2). There's nobody there to back you up for the general questions, etc. H-Sphere reseller package: 1: Multiple servers, spreading services out across multiple servers. No service is shared with another. EG: mail has it's own server, mysql has it own.. etc etc. 2: Fully managed environment. You never even have to think the word "root". 3: Dual operating system - most H-Sphere providers offer a dual-os environment. Windows and linux from one place. 4: You have a team of trained professionals at your beckon call. If something breaks, the support team of the reseller company you are with, fixes it. This is the case with pretty much all the (good) reseller hosting providers. I have seen a *lot* of people drop from dedicated, to get a H-Sphere reseller account, because when compared, there's really no contest Simon

Thanks Simon. I had not realized how much you put in on the back-end.

I would certainly recommend DIY. We used them for a short period of time when we were testing the waters of getting into Windows Hosting. Simon was very helpful, and tossed us a reseller account to test those waters. While we never really had the chance to learn H-Sphere (we also would have to teach our techs, and time didn't permit that, since we ourselves couldn't grasp it lol), our overall experience with DIY was very good. Support was handled timely when we needed it, and Simon was always very willing to help. I would recommend them tremendously for their H-Sphere plans.

I strongly recommend DIY. Their service and support is excellent. I'm a very pleased DIY Hsphere reseller and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a quality host. DIY is not only about features but quality as well. To give you an example, while many companies had upgraded to the latest Hsphere version some time ago just to show off the new features, DIY waited untill it was thoroughly tested and proven stable..... which says a lot about the company's attitude to quality. As far as their expertise is concerned, all I can say is that I am impressed!! George

Greetings: Actually, most of the distributors listed on http://www.psoft.net/partners.html do have reseller hosting plans. Thank you.

Hi! I'll recomend H-Sphere and Reseller-Center.com. R-C has the best support staff I've ever come across!

I have to agree, we see a lot doing this. If you don't need root access then why have your own server when you can have 100's of them in one cluster, windows, *nix, mysql, mssql, pgsql all at your finger tips. You could never do that on one server and reseller accounts cost less then 99% of the servers out there..

Of course that depends if the reseller wants to "grow up" into a bigger host, and have their own infrastructure and staffing etc. I guess they can jump from the reseller h-sphere platform, to setting up their own clustered h-sphere system with their own staff, and service resellers themselves etc. Although way less hassles staying down at the reseller level, where you have other folks keeping the machines humming along.

I couldn't agree more, Bob. Often, people don't need to upgrade to a dedicated box, because they have all they need at the reseller level. Simon

I have to say so far I've been very happy with DIYHosting as well. I've only been with them for about two weeks but I'm already seeing that things are done right over there. Their support team is fantastic and they get things done quick. I like how they took their time to upgrade to H-Sphere 2.4. It wasn't a matter of "hey, there's a new version, let's upgrade to the latest and greatest." They took their time to test it before installing it on production servers.
