Default Small Reseller Account

Is the Aluminium option the smallest available?
Could manage with much less space so don't really want to pay $24.95 unless I have to.

Also can we pay subscriptions by paypal

Thanks

Yes, Alum is smallest RESELLER package. And Yes, you can use Paypal.

You say you don't need all that space... How do you know? Do you only plan on having a few sites? If so, maybe separate Baby accounts would be better.

Describe your plan to be a Resller and maybe we can give more help.

Thanks eLIANT,

I presently have a small group of websites hosted in a reseller account in the UK and am looking for a better deal, HG definitely offer that!

Thought I had read somewhere on this forum that there is a smaller option but might just do as you suggest as I control all the websites anyway.

No, there is a smaller reseller package, it is the $15 unadvertised "Special Reseller". Just send an email to sales and ask to know if it is still available, they will tell you how to get it.

Thanks for all the info but sadly to no avail.

Had an email back from HG (- yes they are quite quick especially as its a Sunday.)

They call it the "Special Reseller Package" but sadly they are not offering it at present.

Please, stop vehiculing false informations!

First, there is less than a dozen persons trying to promote this Gwyneth fantasy name creation. HostGator sales and technical staff call this package the "Special Reseller Package" as all other customers having this package and numerous other people told on this forum including bstock.

Second, this name have absolutely no Trademark attached to it, as for the infamous "DediKiddy", another fantasy creation from Gwyneth...

Why must you always try and start something?

There is nothing wrong with the answers given.

I wonder if he is related to a recently departed member from the same country.

Or maybe it is one in same person.

Keith, the way you have phrased this is not acceptable. It's one thing to take issue with a forum member, but please don't make generalizations like this about countries (or any other such classification of people.)

regentronique is not trying to "start" something - he's trying to stop it. And he has a valid point. Referring to these packages/offers by a made-up name could be confusing to newbies on the forum. If they contact HG support and refer to these offers by these made-up names, the HG staffer might not know what they are talking about.

I've been a regular here for a while now, and I'd never heard the term "Weeseller."

Sure, for those of us on the "inside" these names are cute, but let's be careful not to throw curveballs at the newcomers.

hmmm interesting how every bit of advice in this thread was ultimately wrong, yet the ONLY thing that is now being discussed is the "unofficial" names of things at HG.....

Thank you very much eLIANT for trying to inject some good sense in this forum and try to make some members understand that having fun with names can be quite problematic for other people. They should also understand that making other believe that those names are "Trademarks" is also immoral and illegal.

Before the "apology" off Keith, i was quite insulted from his comments. Altough i was not sympatetic to the way Othellobloke was expressing his knowledge and feelings i can at least tell that he was quite honnest and a person with integrity. Yes he was quite annoying and very often insulting, i told him that myself in private and finally he add to pay the price for that "uncivilized" behavior. But being compare to him or being told that i was him just because i was canadian, was quite discrimatory based on the country of origin! Which was childish and totally unacceptable.

I can understand that many forum users are quite young in age and in education, but there is always a limit that no one should cross...

I am a person of morality, and honesty is more important than being liked on any forum. That honesty must be expressed with integrity and transparency, no matter the concequences. Is this a way more apparent in Canada than USA, i do not believe so.

This is why i consider that Keith poll for changing the names of the "unmanaged dedicated server" and the "special reseller package" accounts is quite dishonnest and arrogant. People having the obligation to answer "yes" is really not democratic and show the illegitimate situation of your cause. Doing this, because less than 12 peoples use currently that expression for fun, compare to a lot more not doing so, is also not coherent and childish.

Rules must apply in any forums to keep the information coherent for newcomers and not create controversy, this is normally the role of moderators. But when few people become popular in these forum and that a bunch of "flunkies"(excuse me to borrow a realistic description of Othellobloke) decide to join those popular people to have fun and get credit on these forum, this is really not acceptable...

I hope that, in the future, few of the readers would at least realize the morality of the situation and have the honesty to do the right choices. I also hope that Brent Oxley will take position regarding the kind of information and interaction he desire on his forums. He should decide to what extent, forum members can have fun and making others pay for it...

There is a huge difference between censorship and no control at all...

I was wrong to make the comments I did, and I admit that, I also apologised for them.

However your own comments I find somewhat hypocritical and offensive.

Default Back to my original query...........

The baby account did seem to make good sense except that I actually charge small sums for hosting a few sites and this is not allowed on baby sites.

Regrettably this probably means that it would not make HG feasible for me at present. I do however have quite a few months left on a contract with my UK hosting company so hopefully the Special Reseller package might have been re-instated by then.

Hope so as I do find HG very helpful and really appreciate having a user forum which to me indicates that HG have nothing to hide and are proud of their service.

In the meantime thank you for all your help.

Hi me again, checking one last time as my present hosting will be up for renewal very soon.

Could anyone just confirm.

1) Is there still no lower reseller option than aluminium.
2) Is it still not possible to make a token charge for any websites I might include on the Baby accounts.

Thanks

you will get an official answer from HG ONLY! so it is way better to contact them directly via LIVE CHAT & /or sending an email to sales.

No the Tos doesn't allow for that. The link for the Tos is at the bottom of this page.

Default Re: Small Reseller Account

Hi all,

I run a PHP script which adds products to a MySQL db. The script finds new products to add in batches, and adds them in batches. However, since transferring the script to hostgator, the script stops running randomly, usually at the beginning of one of the batches being injected to the db. Since this never happened before when I hosted the scripts from WAMP/LAMP, I am guessing there is some kind of memory or timeout issue occurring. Can anyone help or offer ideas?

Thanks!

Your post it totally unrelated to this thread. Start a new thread with your question.

And the domains you show in your signature are not hosted at HG.

Suspect this post is spam.
