Hostgator reseller hosting and cpu use

[okapi]

I'm considering Hostgator's reseller hosting, but I can't understand what happen if a single account uses too much cpu:

Hostgator will close that single resold account or the whole reseller account?

You should double check with them exactly what their policy is. Most providers will simply suspend the single account

 

[iHubNet-Matt]

As said they will only suspend the account that has violated their ToS not the entire reseller account.

Do you mean bandwidth? You can set the options to limit the amount of bandwidth used by any individual account, if it goes over it just shuts down that one domain.

Hostgator has great service, just click on the live chat option if you have any questions.

CPU usage worries make sense. Any successful reseller hosting provider (and Hostgator is one) can only have one policy, and that is to suspend only the end user account that causes trouble.

If you are starting use to much CPU I think you need to start thinking about VPS.

I don't think he has a CPU problem right now - I think he is simply inquiring about the consequences if he does face one in the future.

I suppose that is the best suggestion in here. Only they will be able to give you the most correct answer

In any case he wants to be aware of that and possible troubles.

No! I had same problem.
And hostgator block all my cpanel accounts.

I think they will only suspend that particular account. Still if you are not sure, contact the support person on that company and confirm it. Its better to take care of your account and never violate the TOS.

Was this due to CPU over usage? There's more than one reason for account suspensions. Also, if a reseller doesn't put any effort in weeding out "bad" customers, with their end user accounts often needing to be suspended due to spam, or other illegal activities, there may come a point when the provider will have to deal with the reseller in a more direct manner.

 

[WebIntellects - Rob]

In any case you need apply to your web hosting provider for explanations.

It is a well-settled rule that a VPS is a better option than a reseller account. Hostgator has introduced a new vps offer. You might want to avail of this. The price is just competitive.

Not necessarily, it depends what the OP is looking for in his hosting experience.

 

[TechGuy1]

Hostgator is great I am sure they will help you find a proper solution

I agree with you. However for the end user you may see a huge diffrence in the price also.

I would suggest you not to focus your attention on one company and consider more hosts because the web hosting market is becoming more and more competitive and there are many offers that are cheap.
You should be experienced enough in web hosting business before starting providing hosting services.

Good suggestion and I'm fully agree with you regarding that. However a lot of people still believe that only one web hosting company is trusted and do not wish to lokk around and seek for the alternatives. Sad..
