ResellerClub Review Visit ResellerClub »

“It's hard to knock a web hosting provider that includes unlimited storage, data transfers, and email accounts with its shared hosting plans. ResellerClub offers an above-average network uptime guarantee and the choice of Windows or Linux, along with enhanced performance and security features.

However, affordable shared hosting is an extremely crowded market with very little room to shine. ResellerClub's prices are a hair higher than those of competitors, and those companies tend to include free SSL certificates, solid-state drives, and advertising credits. Even though ResellerClub boasts an incredibly wide range of shared hosting options, a large portion of the audience might end up with a company offering comparable services for a dollar or two per month cheaper.

That's not to say there's anything wrong with ResellerClub's infrastructure or customer support. The company is particularly well-suited for those site owners looking to consolidate or host multiple websites, with the potential for expanding into a revenue-generating reseller business.

ResellerClub empowers growing websites to experiment and expand with support for PHP, MySQL, and phpMyAdmin, in addition to the Python, Perl, Ruby, and Ruby on Rails programming languages. More advanced customers will appreciate the Cloudflare compatibility, Zend Optimizer installation, and Varnish caching for page load speeds not commonly found in shared hosting.”

“Given the high price tag of dedicated servers, it can be hard to find a clear bargain. However, ResellerClub offers an impressive array of bare-metal and managed servers with a surprising number of features, all for rates lower than we expected. Whether you're looking for a high-powered environment for yourself or for your clients, be sure to give ResellerClub dedicated servers a serious look.

ResellerClub's US servers are housed in an Austin, Texas, datacenter that is powered by two substations and connected to more than 17 fiber optic providers. The company operates similar infrastructure setups in the UK, Turkey, India, and Hong Kong. Blade servers are provisioned instantly and award users full root access and a server management interface. The base server, which costs less than $100 per month, comes with an Intel dual-core processor, 4GB of RAM, and 1TB of RAID-1 storage space.

Customers will appreciate the included ClamAV anti-virus protections, in addition to operating system updates and security patches. Those site owners looking for more technical assistance and maintenance oversight can upgrade to managed servers.

Although managed services can mean a wide range of things to different providers, ResellerClub is sure to impress. The company's managed tasks rank up there with the high-end luxury hosts: firewall configuration, content management system and MySQL optimization, full web server and control panel support, and security audits. Perhaps most impressively, ResellerClub will support, repair, and update third-party applications to the best of the knowledgeable support team's ability.”

“As with all ResellerClub hosting plans, customers will enjoy a wide range of prices and options when it comes to picking a virtual private server to scale their website or online business. The company offers KVM or Virtuozzo virtualization, along with Bluehost's blend of KVM and OpenStack.

ResellerClub's KVM servers come with the CentOS operating system, while Virtuozzo will cover CentOS and Ubuntu — meaning there's no Windows VPS option. Both types of Linux machines, however, come with full root access, a 30-day money-back guarantee, and installations of cPanel and WHM. The KVM VPS is built on cloud infrastructure that offers increased power, flexibility, control, and availability. The Virtuozzo abstraction, however, delivers one-of-a-kind virtualization efficiency that guarantees a set amount of computing resources regardless of what happens in other VMs.

VPS plans sold under the Bluehost label, a sister company also owned by Endurance International Group, tap into the company's OpenStack and KVM infrastructure, bringing ultimate performance. Particularly useful for resellers, Bluehost VPS plans come with a free domain name registration and enable customers to seamlessly manage multiple servers and user profiles.

ResellerClub, however, goes even further in virtualized hosting. The company's ultra-speedy cloud hosting and low-density servers perform twice as fast as other VPS plans and includes automated failover, integrated caching, and infinite scaling options. Users' data is mirrored across three distinct devices in multiple drives and cabinets to ensure website information and configurations are secure and always available. ResellerClub's cloud hosting option is particularly well-suited for first-time VPS customers who appreciate the simplicity and management tools of shared hosting.”

“Seemingly every hosting provider is jumping on the crowded bandwagon to offer managed WordPress hosting. In many cases, the high-profile plans look suspiciously like a company's shared server features, with perhaps a few security upgrades, automatic updates, and higher prices. ResellerClub, however, is one of the refreshing companies that offers a hosting environment specifically tailored to the world's most popular content management system.

At first glance, ResellerClub's price tag for managed WordPress hosting might seem a little steep — but the traffic allowances and upgraded add-ons sweeten the deal. The company's plans support up to 5 million visits per month and can run on six-core processors. WordPress is pre-installed and automatically updated, with an intuitive custom dashboard to manage your websites and monitor your CPU and RAM usage.

Each WordPress instance will come pre-integrated with CodeGuard-powered automatic cloud backups, which users can monitor daily or restore in just a few clicks. Customers will also enjoy daily malware scans, vulnerability removal, and dedicated security support from the experts at SiteLock, known for 360-degree website security.

One strange distinction, however, between ResellerClub's regular hosting packages and its WordPress plans are the lack of a money-back guarantee. Just about every other service at the company comes with a refund policy — except for WordPress hosting. This oddity kept us from giving ResellerClub higher marks, but the company's WordPress services are certainly impressive.”

“Providing multiple solutions to ensure customers and their reseller clients are using the most effective tools, ResellerClub offers three well-priced options for website builders. Across the board, all the platforms are streamlined ways to showcase creativity and quickly launch new websites without coding or design skills.

The company's in-house site builder is the most lightweight of the bunch, with four plans costing less than $5 per month. Although many of the roughly 200 themes look somewhat dated or uninspiring, the ResellerClub site builder impresses with the level and ease of customizability. In addition to editing a site's CSS, experienced developers and site owners can even make changes to themes' source code or upload their own theme.

ResellerClub also partners with Impress.ly to help customers build app-like mobile websites in a snap. The platform generates clean HTML5 code for phones, tablets, and desktops, including social media feeds, eCommerce functionality, and business tools to aid a new site's success. The highest-tire Impress.ly plan is optimized for a content delivery network and basic analytics, as well. Users only need a business name, Facebook page, or website address, and Impress.ly uses native intelligence to organize your existing content into a smart design and color scheme.

For those looking for a more familiar interface or a recognizable brand to sell to customers, the Weebly drag-and-drop editor allows for unlimited pages, a customizable footer, and custom favicon. More than 40 million have used the Weebly site builder platform to concoct stunning, professional, and responsive websites for portfolios, businesses, and blogs. While there is nothing wrong with the ResellerClub builder, we're huge fans of the high-quality apps and eCommerce functionality Weebly adds to the site building experience.

If none of those options are ideal for you, ResellerClub also provides thousands of downloadable website themes, plugins, and logos for several of the most-used web platforms: WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Magento, Weebly, and OpenCart.

"With this new launch, we bring more than 5,000 themes, plugins, and logos — a perfect solution for web professionals who don't always have the bandwidth to build something from scratch," Senior Vice President Shridhar Luthria said in a press release. "We're excited about this launch, as this is a huge step in our effort to establish ResellerClub as a one-stop marketplace for web pros."”
