I know I have mentioned Quality Host Online* many times before, but I have to offer up a dedicated rave review to these guys.
In the past few months I had been kicking around the idea of selling up for a reseller account. It’s something that Vic Franqui highly suggests for those of us who have a ton of websites. The other options are to either (1)set up separate hosting accounts for each domain or (2) set up each domain as an add-domain with one main hosting account. My current setup was #2.
Finally in the last few weeks I decided it was time to switch over before my domains got out of control. I currently have about 25 domains and plan to double or triple this within the next six months.
My experience with Quality Host Online has been nothing but terrific, but I’m a comparison shopper so I did a bit of research. Not only were QHO’s prices better – especially with their current Reseller Blowout Sale – but I already knew their service and customer service were excellent.
I have read a lot about reseller hosting accounts so I had a fairly good theoretical knowledge base, but as far as putting things into practice, I am definitely a novice. The guys at Quality Host Online have been absolutely fantastic. I can literally email them 24 hours a day 7 days a week and count on a reply within minutes. Lately I have been working at night and sleeping during the day so this has been a major help.
Not only that, but they have talked me through the setup process, making it (so far) painless. My domains are registered with three different companies so this could have been a total nightmare, but because of the in-depth instructions I was given it was a breeze to get everything set up. I even ended up transferring a couple of my domains over to QHO for registration. That is definitely not the easiest process in the world, but their clear instructions and hand-holding emails made it all go smoothly.
I’m not sure how I’m going to proceed with the reseller account as far as setting up and managing hosting for other people. At this point I plan to set up a couple of friends. I was thinking that I might run a contest to give away from free hosting accounts. Would anyone be interested in that?
I’d just ask for a linkback and then randomly choose a few people to have free hosting for a year. I could even get their WordPress blog set up or something extra. Would you guys consider that a prize worth linking for?
In the meantime, definitely go check out the packages already available at Quality Host Online. They are inexpensive, the uptime is great and the customer service is up there in the top three of any IT company with which I have ever worked.
