Finding Friendly Webhosts With CPanel?

[ZannuZZi]

I'm looking for a host that has Cpanel, who can host each of my clients for under $50 a year and 2 personal sites for free of charge. Where do I find this guy?

I would like to suggest hostmonster with which I have experience. If you call their customer service department, they are really friendly and helpful and also got good technological knowledge.

The same for bluehost, ixwebhosting. But they might be a little more than $50 per year. But they are worth considering.

I suggest One X Host. The company have some good reviews here http://www.freeindex.co.uk/profile(One-X-Host)_74228.htm.

I believe that any company is trying to be friendly. Other question how they are in real life ot look like

There are lots of great hosts out there the key is finding one that is great at support and helps when you ask for it.


There are lots out there that will treat you right if thats what you are looking for. cpanel is pretty much the industry standard so that should not be a problem....

it is quite difficult to find web hosting without cpanel. :td: Have a look at MMhosting . They are cpanel host and they might be interesting for you.

There are hosts that provide rubbish support and unfriendly staff.

Chat to their pre-sales.. actually chat via a live chat.. google the company and see if there are any negative reviews.

Perhaps you should open a thread in the webhosting-offers section of the forum.

Hello,

I think you are looking for a reseller account. I would suggest you to have a look at Hostgator's reseller plan.I think it will be more better for your needs. You know every accounts have a Cpanel. So you don't worry about Cpanel. and you didn't explained here about your budget. what are your basic requirements?. How much bandwidth are you looking and also about disk space?.

 

[Ultimatum]

Sometimes people are looking for reseller options because they are interstied in separating different cpanel accounts.
And reselle rweb hosting is the way to separate them.

I can host you. Please pm me your specs. We can work out something.

 

[~ServerPoint~]

nboy, I would recommend you do not offer yourself here. There is separate request section fopr this.

Just like to add the guys at drupalvaluehosting are great! Uptime has been great. My website has been with them since November 2007. I have been very impressed at the speed they've handled any issues that have came up. You can't go wrong with drupalvaluehosting.com

Serverpoint.com also offer Cpanel accounts, and there are lots of other hosts here at the forum, like Polurnet.com who offer cpanel. Not a problem today, it's more difficult to find anyone with DA.

 

[~ServerPoint~]

Thanks. But DA still popular as well.

I would be very skeptical about any service level for $50/year. At $4.17/month if you consider the average 'unfriendly' tech support US employee makes $10/hour that means that one 10 minute support call per month costs at least $1 of that. All-to-often a friendly call means that a knowledgeable, empowered, fluent english-speaking tech is on the other end of the line, and every call costs an average of $5.00 (based on actual call-center statistics).

It really depends on what you want with friendly tech support, and the systems that companies have in place for when things go down. Things WILL go down, of course. In most cases clients are happy to pay $500/year vs $50 for the peace of mind that there is actual accountability for their data.

I do acknowledge that this is not your question, but it is merely something to consider if it fits in your particular scenario.

I have reseller account where hosting works out to $50/year. Am very happy with the services.

I don't think there's such feature in the plans as "friendliness", all I expect from support staff is to be fast and efficient, and they are fast if they meet response time guarantee, they are efficient if they they not only respond to my ticket meeting time in the response time guarantee, but fix the issue, so the site is up and its performance is ok.

I think no one can expect his host to be friendly, may be polite, but not friendly.

To finish off, I think you'll have more chances to have "friendlier" web hosting staff with a smaller company, like marblehost.com or polurnet.com rather than with a big one where a client's name is just another record in the clientbase.

Hostagtor would be fine, even though their rates are slightly above your budget. If you dont need mysql, you can go for the cheapest plan from ix web hosting. personally I would suggest spending around $80 per year for a hostmonster or hostgator plan that has enough add on domains as well.
