Hi -

Don't want to start a spam war upstairs - so advise me, please. Need another reseller hosting account - considering justhost or bluehost - want monthly auto pay through Paypal.

I know they are EIG companies but what you gonna do? Have HG reseller and it's still ok but it's not the same as it was.

Leaning toward justhost for some reason (19.95 special?) - anything for or against them?

I like simple - want cpanel and WHM - so...

    Not sure how it compares, but Verve Hosting offers:

    5,000 MB Web Space
    10,000 MB Monthly Transfer
    10 Addon Domains
    Dedicated IP address

    $19.95 and up

    Can do auto pay with a PayPal card.

    I've used them for around 15 years. I haven't done a reseller account, but have multiple domains with them. Excellent service and support.

    I don't know about "reseller" but I use Servage and it has a good lineup of features. Only crux is you pay once a year, it's around $129 a year. I switched to them after my website got chewed to heck and back - it's far more secure.

    Kay, I host 4-5 sites with Bluehost. I've been with them for over 10 years and haven't got a single complaint. I don't have a reseller account, so take that into consideration. I've never used JustHost so I can't say anything about them.

    I also have a site with HostMySite, one with BrainHost, and one with iPage. HostMySite has a proprietary control panel and, in my opinion, it sucks. I'm leaving them within a few months for that specific reason, and I've been with them for about 10 years too. Finally just got fed up with it. BrainHost has been good, and iPage has been fine. iPage is another EIG company.

    It should be noted that I don't need a lot of technical support. HostMySite and Bluehost have both had excellent support when I have needed it. Haven't needed it with the other two, but I haven't been with them near as long either (1-2 years).

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

    Kay, I've been with http://www.totalchoicehosting.com since 2002. US based servers. I'm currently on the reseller plan at $20 a month but I've run on shared as well as fully dedicated for several years.

    They're a full cPanel service with Fantastico (for wordpress, etc) on Linux servers with unlimited databases, ftp accounts, sub-domains, emails...etc. They also sell names but I prefer to combine them with Namecheap and when buyiong a new domain I enter my DNS names and get instant resolution. For the last 12 years they've been terrific - almost silent. I chose them because of their fantastic reviews back in 2002 and have not been disappointed. They claim 99% uptime but in my experience it's higher than that because some years they never have hiccups.

    They don't have an affiliate system (never have) and I think that keeps them focused. Really a very very good and reliable host. Highly recommended. I have no association with them, I'm just keen to see as many people on a reliable, sensible and well behaved host.

    Kay, I've been with these people for about 7 years. 24-hour tech support (chat) and phone. Smart, easy to deal with. The plan I have is unlimited disk and bandwidth and I pushed the limit when I was doing wholesale PLR, MMR stuff. Never heard a peep from them. Five star all the way.

    Used Bluehost for years and no complaints.
    Best Customer Service I've had.
    Started with 1And1. Very good but no C Panel.
    Used HG, didn't like 'em.

    I'm with you on this.

    The only two parts of my biz where I am still in the loop is hosting and AWeber.

    Please let us know what you decide. Or PM if you would rather keep it low profile.
