Web hosting is a hot business nowadays. There are so many hosting companies that choice is most of the times at random, even though we’d all love to find the best blog host from the first attempt. Even I own a hosting reseller account, so if I wanted I could have sold such services, but I’m keeping it only for my sites at the moment, because I’m sure there are details which are difficult to handle, especially customer service. Some of my customers would probably know more than I do. This is why I postponed this project until I get to know more about servers.
Speaking of knowledge, there is a website hosting provider where you can read more about various related issues, in case you are interested, or you are seeking for a new host for your websites. These Web Hosting Geeks write about preventing fraud on e-commerce sites, or other security issues. For example, I didn’t know that php has so many vulnerability issues. I was even upset with my former web hosting company, when I discovered that I wasn’t able to run certain scripts on their server. I didn’t want something very complicated, it was just a php function which was disabled by default without any possibility for the customers to enable it by themselves. The new host allows those scripts, but in exchange, I see much more spam than before. I suppose everything has a price. This is why research prior to purchase is a good idea when buying web hosting. I can give you one more advice: do not pay for one year in advance, as you might be sorry sooner than you expect. Moreover, you can read a thorough description of Control Panel options for resellers, just in case you think to get a reseller account, be it for establishing your own webhosting business, or simply for hosting your own websites there. I find it more convenient having a reseller account and I’m very pleased with Hostgator.

I like to have a reseller account but its too expensive for me. What I am doing is my mode of payment for my web hosting account is monthly instead of annually. In that way as you said, I have an option if I will pursue with the hosting or not but as of now I find no problem yet.
certainly it is more convenient having a reseller account
mine hosting provider is good but I need new and fast one
I’ve found the reseller accounts to be the best value for the price if you are hosting a number of sites. I’ve used hostgator – bluehost – and a dozen more but my favorite is hostnexus.com
I am not against getting reseller rights for web hosts however I believe in the idea that people should only focus on their core business and outsource other tasks to experts. Just my two cents.
Hope you get a reputable host out of the many.
The reseller accounts provide better value and more domains per account. But I like plesk for those reseller accounts becasue it is easier to give a sub account their own supervisor access without a security problem for other users.
I’ve got my reseller account for over one year now and I’m pleased with it. It’s good that I can have a separate cPanel for each account, so things are easier to be kept under control.
