http://www.jbwseries.com/cpanel_rese...free_whmcs.php I know that they're probably overselling. I'm new to this field, what caught my eye there is that you're able to oversell and the free WHMCS. I have a eNom account since my HostGator reseller (didn't turn out good, lol). When I try the cPanel demo it says "VPS optimized". Is that for small RAM usage? Or that they're hosting it on another companies dedicated/virtual private server? Thanks, Adam

With the overselling enabled, the features are not always upto the point. The offers will not be always matching.

hi i think the CPanel demo may not be hosted with them, you would have to check with them. the cpanel demo link pings to another IP and is not a IP owned by theplanet jbwseries.com resell space from their servers.

also i just noticed the plan says weekly backups. If your websites are critical then you want a host that can do at least 1 or 2 backups a day!

Hi, This is simply to clear out the first answer with the right answers. The cPanel demo is the same used at cPanel.net websites for both WHM and cPanel. If you visit the demo at cpanel.net website and try one, it will be the same link so for the question as if we are using VPS, it is not the case. Overselling is not something we are very happy with but the demand from resellers has been so much that we have made it available. Before making it available, we have change how many resellers could be put on a single box so everyone will be able to use the space allocated for them. Also, buy having many dedicated server with resellers, we have been able to do the math and can say, in our case at JBW, that resellers used around 15% of the entire space allocated and shared hosting account are using about 96MB average per account. Be aware that we have not used those numbers to put the most account we could on a single server. We are not overselling our services as we have our own dedicated server from The Planet which are both Dual Xeon 2.8HT and Kentsfield \ Xeon 3210 (Quad Core) with 4 X 500GB per server which give us enough space to give to our resellers what they have paid for. If we offer it, you will be able to use it, guaranteed. We are able to offer these plans as we have been around for quite a long time or since 2004. For the backup solution, we have kept it at 1 weekly backup since running it on a daily basis would put a load each day on the server. We have received more complaints about high load so decided to split the backup on seven days instead of trying to backup everything daily. So each day, a server backup 1/7 of the websites to a secondary hard drive and then a few hours later, the backup is rsyc to another server out of our data center provider for our reseller services. I'll be glad to answer any question you may have about our services by replying to this thread. We will try to monitor as we go. Last edited by JBWseries; 07-05-2008 at 10:45 AM. Reason: removed "put" before split the backup on seven days

i know that feeling! I assume SATA for the diskspace campacity? just FYI we tried this once and SATA can run slow soon you start to fill it up, as SATA is only 7.2k spin. Personally we fould it a hell of allot better using 300GB 15K Spin SAS Drives, although they are ALLOT more expensive. Try doing incremental backups, we do Full image backups (perfect for disaster recovery) using R1Soft www.r1soft.com this does not use much system resource and you can do allot of system snapshots a day but i guess this would use allot of you bandwidth if leasing through the planet as they charge for internal networking the same price as internet traffic.

Okay, thanks I will be strongly considering your company. Regards, Adam.

There's 10K SATA drives, also, I doubt you'll see any slowdown if the drive gets fuller, assuming you use a proper raid card and setup the fs properly.

Hi, CyberHostPro, you are right about the 300GB 15k spin. It is much more faster when having a lot on the drives but we don't fully load them and this is one reason why we don't fill them. As for the bandwidth at the planet, you can buy virtual racks which gives Unlimited Server-to-Server Transfer but backing up in the same data center is useless if you know about the DC1 explosion. For the R1 soft, can your client manage their own backup and recover them? We are also on incremental backup as for now. We are not using the default WHM backup system neither. Thanks for sharing the information about the 300GB 15k. We will surely get a look at it for our next servers. Regards,

One more question. Can I resell "reseller" accounts? Regards, Adam.

Hi, On our side, we don't have any objection about your question. Regards,

Yes they can IE if you backed say twice a day. You could save the last 20 snap shots (10 days). then a click in CPanel would click R1Soft. it then logs them in to R1soft control panel. They can then see all there backups over the past 10 days. They can choose what to restore. it only takes about 1 minute too on average to do a restore They have a special offer on for CPanel hosts to at the moment.

Yes you can resell the accounts, provided your host gives you sufficient privilege for that.
