Posted: Wed May 03, 2006 12:57 pm Post subject: Custom Dedicated / Reseller |
| |
Hi,
I've been contemplating getting a dedicated server, because I will have custom/unusual needs (still working out the specifics), and I believe the only packages to allow custom software being installed are the Dedicated ones?
However I'm not sure I can justify the £125/month (or more) without finding some way to offset the cost, and so I'm thinking that if I could setup a reseller account, and, well re-sell some of the space/etc that I don't need, in order to contribute towards the costs.
Is this possible, and (not knowing how the regular reseller works) how easy would it be to offer independant/isolated webroots with [differing] diskspace and bandwidth limits/monitoring on the individual resold bits?
Thanks. _________________ Peter Boughton |

Hi,
If you take one of the control panel options (excluding WebMin) then you'll be able to seutp and monitor reseller clients very easily. Giving them each their own control panel to manipulate their accounts with.
Hope that helps,

Thanks Andrew.
Do you know any good comparisons between cPanel and DirectAdmin - the price would suggest cPanel is the better one, but Google is turning up mixed opinions, and I haven't yet found any objective reviews. _________________ Peter Boughton |

I have no real hands on experience with Direct Admin. However I'm yet to read a bad review of it. The reason we use cPanel is because the vast majority of hosts use cPanel, allowing us to easily transfer sites from other hosts to ourselves.

Ok, thanks.
Now I just have to hurry up and finish writing the main websites, then figure out precisely what software I'll need, and all going well I should be putting in an order sometime in June/July.  _________________ Peter Boughton |
