Reseller Hosting
What Everyone Asks
Reseller Hosting Frequently Asked Questions
 
General Questions :

reseller web hosting How long after I signup will I have to wait to use my account? - New accounts are moderated and you should be able to log in almost immediately. We do not ask for any money or any credit card details until you have tried the system for 1 month.

reseller web hosting What payment methods do you accept? - You can pay by any major credit or debit card, PayPal, invoice or bank transfer. We also allow you a 7 day credit account for future payments.

reseller web hosting Will I be able to offer both Windows & Linux web site hosting or do I have to choose one? - You can offer both. Your administration area will allow you to create unlimited amounts of web sites using either Windows or Linux web hosting platforms.

reseller web hosting How can your system support unlimited web sites? - Our system is clustered. Clustering means we can control more than one server from a central location which allows us to easily add more servers as demand increases. Theoretically our platform can control a virtually unlimited number of servers.

reseller web hosting Does unlimited hosting mean my servers will be overloaded? - No. Unlike many of our competitors we only average 300 web sites per server. Most shared hosting companies average 2000-5000 sites per server but we deem this to be unacceptable.

reseller web hosting How can you afford to have so few sites per server? - Economies of scale. Our infrastructure is such that we have the resources to manage a large server cluster. Hardware costs are much lower than they were and we would rather manage additional servers than risk upsetting the business of several thousand clients due to hardware failure. Also we feel 2000-5000 sites per server is simply not a good enough level of serivce and speed to offer you.

reseller web hosting What specification are your servers? - The average server specification is dual Xeon processors, 1-4 gigabyte memory, hardware RAID 5 hard disk array with full hardware redundancy. We only deploy quality rack-mount server hardware from HP/Compaq, Sun, IBM and Dell.

reseller web hosting Will my bandwidth be limited? - No. You are free to use as much bandwidth as you require. Included in your reseller hosting plan is 10 gigabyte data transfer per month. Additional usage is charged at £4 per gigabyte per month which is one of the lowest prices in the UK. You can buy more in advance at just £3 per Gb should you need to.

reseller web hosting How much disk space am I allowed? - Your account has 10 gigabyte (10'000 megabyte) of web space. The average web site is smaller than 1 megabyte allowing plenty of room for future growth. Should you exceed the 10 gigabyte allowance you can simply take a second reseller plan. Existing resellers who exceed the 10 gigabyte allowance have a large client base and show an impressive profit.

reseller web hosting How do you provide support to me? -We provide unlimited support to you by means of email 24/7. You can also telephone our support department if you prefer.

reseller web hosting So the system costs £500 per year or £50 per month? - Yes. This fee covers the 24/7 server maintenance, management of your account including the comprehensive brandable control panel system, software maintenance and feature upgrades and unlimited support for you. There are no hidden charges with our plan.

Reseller Hosting Branding Questions:

reseller web hosting Is your reseller hosting system really that brandable? - Yes. No other control panel in the world offers the level of branding available under our reseller plan.

reseller web hosting Is it possible for other resellers to find out who my clients are? - No. Another unique feature only available using our system is that it is impossible for someone to stumble across your control panel using an IP address.

reseller web hosting Will my trouble ticket support system be branded? - Yes. Every aspect is branded to you.

reseller web hosting Will my billing platform be branded? - Yes. Every aspect is branded to you.

reseller web hosting Do I have to use the billing features? - No. You can manage billing your clients in-house if you wish.

reseller web hosting Will my clients see your name in my control panels? - No. Everything relating to your clients can be branded in your company name.

reseller web hosting Do I have to brand my system? - No. The system can be left unbranded if you prefer.

Reseller Control Panel Questions:
reseller web hosting What hosting plans can I resell? - With our system you do not resell our hosting plans. Instead you create your own plans from a comprehensive list of options . Using a plan creation wizard you build your plans using whatever options you need and set your own retail prices. You can charge for any component even though we do not charge you.

reseller web hosting Can people signup to my hosting plans from my web site? - Yes. Once you build your hosting plans the system will automatically create signup links for you to insert into your own web site. When a client clicks a signup link from your site your control panel takes over and automates everything.

reseller web hosting How many hosting plans can I create? - As many as you like.

reseller web hosting Can I accept credit cards from my clients? - Yes. Our system supports many merchant gateways and payment systems for example if you have a WorldPay account you simply input your account details into your control panel and your system and billing platform will fully automate accounting.
Data Centre Questions:

reseller web hosting Where is your data centre located? - Our data centre is located at the prestigious MCI (UUNet) switch in Portsmouth, Hampshire UK. We are connected to the world's largest global backbone and enjoy 100% SLA.

reseller web hosting How much bandwidth do you have available? - Bandwidth for our reseller hosting cluster is available to several gigabits per second.

reseller web hosting Is your data centre a secure environment? - Yes. 24 hour on-site security, accompanied customer visits, full security cameras monitored 24/7 from the UK and MCI USA plus much more.

reseller web hosting How does your data centre compare to your competitors? - We strongly believe our data centre to be superior within our industry. Our infrastructure is split between our shared reseller clients and major corporate hosting contracts managed by our parent company Altaire. Modern corporate hosting demands very high quality facilities. Our reseller cluster is hosted on the same network.

reseller web hosting Are you saying many competitor data centres would not be suitable for corporate clients? - Without a doubt, and we have proven it.
