Reseller Accounts are Simple to Manage
When you sign up for reseller hosting, you will usually be given access to an admin console in cPanel or another administration package. Your monthly disc space and bandwidth allowance will be included. The panel will include the tools needed to create new accounts, assign disc space, email addresses, domains, and other typical web hosting features.
It is then simply a matter of creating a new account, deciding how much disc space or bandwidth to allocate, and proceeding from there.
Reseller hosting allows you to make money in the website hosting business whether you are a web developer, designer, or simply someone who dreams of owning your own web hosting business.
Setting up reseller hosting is very similar to setting up your own shared hosting for a website. The main distinction is that instead of simply setting up your own domain, email, and website, you set up the framework within which your clients will do all of that.
The fact that your clients will have their own cPanel or other dashboard where they can manage their own account is a significant advantage of reseller hosting. This saves you a lot of administration time and makes reseller hosting more like a side hustle than a full-time job.
UPDATED: VPS Boosting to F rating and offline server
JB
Further update: Following the comment left by A2. Issues have continued, site is still not near pre-transfer speeds even with paying x5 more for this service. On my own, even though this is a managed VPS, I located an alarming RAM usage issue. Reported to A2, who informed me the server logging reports were switched off for some reason. Told to wait a few hours. I have waited a few days, no reply. 3 more calls to A2. Told someone is on it, 24 hours ago. Gone and passed no one has been on the site from A2 in 3 days. My previous review, sparked an email which basically went one by one telling me whos fault each issue was, rather than addressing the actual overall issue here. I have been told to PAY more to Litespeed their selected optimisation tool for the CDN and image optimisation credits. So the advertised turbo server, actually requires you to PAY more for the server to be optimised fully. No where is this stated. My site with this new CDN is loading without images on first load, and double flashing. All i get over and over is 'sorry for the inconvenience'. It is clear to me, A2 hosting have given up and do not hold either the want or ability or resource to resolve this mess. Which its me and my business that suffers financially. I do not suspect I will get any further in the next few hours, after requesting a timeline and plan for sorting this. As well as the main user profile that is now somehow corrupted. (which support just said, ive never seen this before....)Thousands of £ lost in revenue from a complete drop off of SEO work on google rankings. Weeks worth of embarrassment with a glitching painfully dial up speed slow site. All our original optimisations undone. Money spent in time, energy and opportunity cost for trying to get A2 to resolve. I am giving up. Will be transferring away.Again, I would not advice anyone risks their business website transfer and hosting to A2, it has been shambolic and negligent at best. Well glad to see I am not the only one.But for VPS managed this has been a nightmare. We are day 8 into transferring over from Siteground, who I never had an issue with in the years we were with them, but we needed more speed. It has been a complete nightmare and continues to be. 1. They do not start the transfer when requested so we faced a day out of business.2. Ongoing non-stop issues with emails going down, not sending, not loading into inbox.3.Optimisation team, when they actually respond, have optimised our site down to a consistent F rating.4. we have lost 50% of our keywords on google due to this5. Site gets a database corruption and goes down, no one can tell me why or update me6. I have spent the last week 50% of my time day and night on to support trying to get answer or issues resolved.7.Virus scanner doesnt work on the site8.They have caused Hotlinking image issues with 3rd party plug ins like omnisend to appear.9. My site keeps getting broken (when its up) by the teams trying to optimise it10. Incorrect information, or contradictory information11. No accountability or ownership12. New support person every reply telling me to be patient13. £1000s in lost revenue from sit bounce rate and loss of rankings14. I keep getting asked for the same information over and over and over15. Will not escalate when asked16. Do not reply timely or prioritise critical issues17. I have been gaslit by their support task saying its not A2....... right so all this happend by chance when we started to transition?18. We have lost 100s of leads this week due to winning an award but not having a site functioning to convert from it19. Spent another few hundred on my phone bill calling the states to try and resolve.20. I could continue.....Absolutely shambolic, couldn't organise their way out of a paper bag. Cannot communicate or give any expectation. Its literally a nightmare. I am stuff with my domain transferring or I would have reversed back to siteground. Looks like a second weekend without an operational site going into online busiest period. I will be bankrupt end of the month at this rate. AVOID !!!!
What Happend to Acceptable Enterprise Level Support?
jfn482
I moved my clients website (wealth management - 100mil managed assets) to A2 from inferior hosting and management. The support with the migration went pretty well and we bought a years worth of hosting. Support seems to have taken a complete nosedive afterwards. Got (Syed) on tech chat support because any ticket support seems non existent. This is for issue of a downed site. First Syed says hold on while I prepare notes of your issue? After several prompts he comes back and says, we are very busy on our lines and we will be with you in 5 to 10 min.? Why are you on chat tech support with me in the first place, your not supposed be helping anybody else but me at this time. And why would say your gonna take notes and then five min later say an entirely different reason for not interacting with on chat tech support. Livid I end chat and open another, it's Syed again. He apologies for the previous chat ending earlier and asks what the problem is. I'm telling him cant access the Wordpress back end or my main site or my staging sites. He goes off for several minutes "checking" and saying anything back to me after several prompts. This is your chat tech support A2 hosting? And all my tickets from yesterday are still open. Where is your support right now that you promise on your website? And where is the technically knowledgeable professional tech support? Completely blown away by this completely non existent useless 3 grade support period. I can only imagine if the hosting went down again or some complicated major issue were to happen I would be screaming out of frustration. If anything like this happens again I would be taking my frustrations out on every review site (and whatnot else venue) give the full details on this less than crap so called support. My client's business does over 100 mil in managed assets and to have his website hosted on a place where this occurs is in no way acceptable or viable. Unfortunately we have a years hosting. We have not even been with you guys for a month. If this happens in the near future we will be demanding our money back and switch hosting ASAP! Remarkable you even have this level of low quality tech support. There was absolutely nothing in my experience that could convince me that this Syed guy was remotely technical or customer service competent. I did customer service for five years, yeah I know. Get it together A2 before we leave!!
