Thread: looking for decent reseller/VPS package with a UK host?

  1. #1

    looking for decent reseller/VPS package with a UK host?

    Hi

    were a small web design company looking to offer hosting onto our clients. were looking for a decent UK company offering linux based reseller packages or a vps.

    we are looking for features like:

    > brandable control panel (ensim)
    > brandable webmail
    > SSH root access
    > private nameservers
    > php and mysql
    > access to log files
    > good tech support

    i have come across companys such as 4dhosting, united hosting, pipeten and datagate. but i dont know enough about them, does anyone have any experience with any of them? was considering datagate, as their vps package looks good and offers ensim. can anyone recommend any other good companys with decent tech support too? also came across Amard, anyone heard of these?

    will appreciate any advice/experiences/opinions

    cheers

    Not sure many hosts will offer you SSH root access on a reseller package

    What sort of disk space, bandwidth, etc are you after?

    Yep, you're not going to get root access unless you get a VPS/VDS or your own server, brandable webmail would also generally cause the same issue, brandable CP wouldn't be an issue with most.

    Are you looking for UK or US based servers? Some of the hosts in your list have US based servers.

    We can offer you with a reseller package running Ensim, on a UK based server, with the facilities you require, though root access is out of the question

    if you are interested/ would like more info, please feel free to PM me or send me an email, andrew.gearing[at]agcc.biz replacing the [at] for an @.

    thanks for the replies guys.

    i am looking for a UK host.

    im sure i have seen some people offering reseller packages with SSH access. may be i didnt read it properly.

    anyway 4Dhosing, what control panel do you offer? i prefer ensim as i have already used it from another company - Virtual Internet. but i dont want to go with them, i am just helping a friend manage his sites on there.

    im quite interested in datagate. does anyone have any comments about these guys?

    are there any other good UK companys out there offering good VPS packages with ensim?

    We use the Helm control panel -

    From what I've heard DataGate isn't too bad but personally don't know anyone who's used them so can't actually comment on the service.

    A lot of web hosts will provide you with a jailed shell, but not root access to the server (unless like Karl says, its a VPS).

    Just out of interest, why dont you want to go with VI?

    I've just signed up with Datagate for a straightforward shared hosting package and a couple of MS Exchange mailboxes.

    It's been a vast improvement on the £20 a year host (www.web-mania.com) I was using, but I've had a few problems with support. If you decide to go with them make sure that when you email them about an issue you are as specific as you can be. They don't seem to investigate issues very thoroughly unless you describe them exactly what problems you are having. But I guess this is the same for most hosts. Their 24/7 support is more like real support during office hours and basic support the rest of the time. What I did like about Web Mania was that they had someone available via a chat pop up 24/7.

    I will probably move to different host, though. I rate Datagate but for what I need it's expensive. 2 MS Exchange mailboxes and thr Database hosting package is costing me £45 a month. A 20MB MySQL dbase ain't that much for what I'm paying. Ive seen packages in the US that offer 3 times the specs for half the price, but that's a different market.

    You probably won't go far wrong dropping Ensim in favour of Plesk/CPanel/DirectAdmin/HSphere/etc as it is lacking in features and unintuitive compared to others. SSH access many hosts offer, but as stated for root SSH access a VPS will definately be a requirement. If you take Ensim out of the requirements you open yourself up to a much greater number of providers you could use.

    You can just search as many hosting providers as you can this is what my suggestion is as most of the decisions taken hurriedly may affect your online presence so I will recommend to do quiet a bit research before deciding a particular host....................
