 Topic: Web Hosts Reseller Programmes
Posted: 09 October 2006 at 3:01pm |
I am currently setting up a web development company. I will be developing sites for several companies and will require web server space to host the sites. I will also be purchsing domain names for all of my clients.
Should i look for web hosts offering reseller programmes or other and where should i look? I dont want to get into purchasing a server and maintaining it etc as i dont have the time.

Our own hosting from Web Wiz Guide, at www.webwiz.net, now offers some new hosting plans which allow mutiple sites to be setup on the one account. The Elite Plan now allows 2 sites to be setup, there is also a Developer Plan, which allows you to host 5 sites, you can also add more sites to the plan if you need to. The Devloper Plan can be signed upto using the signup page, but details on the new plan have not been added to the site yet, but will be in the next couple of days.

Well I have a shameless plug for UK reseller hosting which you can feel free to check out :D -boRg-: Out of interest (without wanting to hijack this thread) just wondering the following: How come I don't see SQL Server on the package list? Do you not find demand for SQL Server or find MySQL suits all of your needs? Have you got some workaround for Access on 2003? We find the connection limit on a shared server and M$ recommendations it not be used in a web environment a right pain in the ass.

mySQL works perfectly well in the web environment, and also used much less memory and server resources. 10 mySQL forum databases can use less than 40Mb of memory, on SQL server this can be as high as 1,000Mb!! I have one 10Mb SQL database which if I didn't limit the amount of memory used by SQL Server would use 1,500Mb after 2 days!!
If you are going anywhere near the Access connection limit then use mySQL or SQL Server instead, as Access is only a flat desktop file, if you are stretching it to the connection limit the flat file system will probably fall over and become corrupted.
The connection pool for Access on Windows 2003 is usually around 20 and as connections to the Access should only be a few milliseconds this amount should be fine.
However, if running Windows 2003 make sure you have SP1 installed and the latest MDAC Drivers, older versions on Windows 2003 had a bug with the JET driver which would freeze the application pool if access came under heavy load, which coursed real issues till we found the course of the problem.

I think this was a known memory-leak issue with SQL 2000... which version do you use that would cause that? I applied sp3a to MS SQL 2000 server last night after doing a fresh OS install for my web server... I also read this on the Microsoft website: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/814410

If you're working with .net 2.0 though, I'd recommend MS SQL 2005. Uses a "roles" feature that integrates wqll qith VS2005. Also, virtually every .net 2.0 example app will use MS SQL 2005.

I'm using SQL Server 2005 Express version for this site, I have one database for the forum which is 100Mb, one for the site which is under 10Mb, and a 3rd for the ads which is around 5Mb. A total of 115Mb for all databases. Unless I set SQL Server to only use a certain amount of memory, within 12 hours SQL Server 2005 is using 1.6Gig of memory where it stays till the server is restarted. I have the same experience on a number of other workstations and servers running SQL Server 2005, both the express and standard versions.

Usually companies that use MS SQL will 'dedicate' a box just for the SQL server. So no matter how much memory you have on that box SQL will attempt to use all of it for best performance... at least that's what one of the IT instructors in this school told me.
