WHM/CPANEL RESELLER ACCOUNT
A WHM/cPanel reseller account is the most commonly used in the web hosting industry today. The only drawbacks are:
- It does not support Windows server yet, but will in the near very future.
- It is easier for your clients to hop away from your company to another web host using WHM/cPanel, because there are so many web hosts using cPanel.
Other than that, it is simply the best. We are using WHM/cPanel now and it works like a charm.
We must admit that cPanel has done a much better job than HSphere. Why? It is SO EASY to use and troubleshoot when there are issues. Cpanel is the most commonly used hosting control panel system to date. If there is a problem, you can simply “Google” about it and you will most certainly find the solution to your cPanel/WHM issue from somebody who has come across the same problem.
We also favor cPanel/WHM because there are so many third party applications out there which are developed to support this hosting platform. It’s like cPanel/WHM are the “people’s” web hosting platform, while other platforms are more “exclusive”.
There are many reseller hosting providers out there which offer WHM/cPanel. You might want to go with a web host of “very good reputation”, simply because your business depends on it.
We highly recommend you to overlook the pricing factor when it comes to deciding which company you want your business to depend on. Look for quality, not just affordability.
We currently use HostGator’s reseller account when starting up our online business. We started with their Aluminum plan, and in a few months we plan to upgrad to Silver, and hopefully to go dedicated soon. We personally recommend them as one of the high quality reseller providers which you can rely on.
