Just trying to set up a small reseller site, to sell mainly to local customers and recommend to people who I do design work for. What I require is UK based, WHMCS included, and not important but would be good to have (whitelabel) front-end support for customers. Thinking about going with Ezpzhosting for the value.. or JustHost.. Or UKWSD, who I personally think are one of the best companies around by far. Just a bit over my budget though. Would have gone with Hostgator just for the ammount of bandwidth they allow, however they are based in the US, so may be too slow. Anyone have any more recommendations?

May we know what is your budget? Also, any idea about your required reseller account specifications? Such as how much disk space, bandwidth etc is required? Hostgator servers wont be TOO slow, but yes websites hosted in UK datacenter when accessed from European countries, would give faster browsing for websites due to less latency as compared to the ones hosted in US datacenters when accessed from European continent.

It will be good if you could tell us more about what you need. Like @Jennifer Robinson told you the disk space , bandwidth and maybe some extra features you would like As for the whmcs you may find a company that dont offer free whmcs but it has really cheap packages

While the company is UK based, I believe that their servers are US based. This is probably be the case with a good number of UK hosts.

Hi Id recommend you concentrate on the best hosting rather than if a WHMCS license is included, you can get a cheap WHMCS license from licensepal.com Have you taken a look at the Reseller Hosting offers section?

From the last time I had a look around, if WHMCS and UK based are important to you, I think your best bet is EZPZ. I haven't seen a reseller account cheaper, that includes WHMCS. You have to bear in mind that WHMCS can take a fairly large chunk of a host's profit from your account, so therefore costs will be slightly higher, but you're doing the right thing by getting advice and opinions. I wish you the best of luck in your search

Thanks for the advice guys. I've gone with EZPZ, as they include WHMCS which most companies charge for. They also have a great offer on atm.

Glad to hear that you were able to pick one meeting your requirements. I've heard a lot of good things about them here. Hope everything goes well with them. Good luck.

I think that site5.com has nothing to do with the UK. Why don't yu check for web hosts that are WHMCS resellers?

i agree with HostColor

Hostdime is also offering UK based web hosting with WHMCS. Their support is fast and professional. I would check them out.

Get your own WHMCS license from LicensePal.com for just $12.95 USD/£8.15 GBP per month. Then just look for an affordable Reseller package. That is the best way to go about it, IMO. Good Luck
