What Actinic Hosting?

[rezurrection]

Hi,

We are trying to find a good hosting package to host multiple Actinic sites which have very high bandwidth. We are finding that actinic hosting is very expensive due to our bandwidth usage on our sites.

We currently have 5 actinic sites using aprox 120gb of bandwidth a month. We also will be getting more sites under development so will need a flexible hosting package for them.

We have found a package that seems very good from UK2.net, it is there reseller plus package www.uk2.net/reseller-hosting.

I would be very grateful if you could let me know if this package would work well with Actinic or any other hosting companies that offer good deals. We would like to host all our actinic site in one package.

Regards,
Andy

We use the Webfusion Reseller, which works well with Actinic (V9):

Out of interest - is the Webfusion Reseller control panel as poor as the Dedicated Server control panel? Or does it use a fully functioning suite such as cPanel, DirectAdmin, Plesk, etc?


OP: UK2 - wouldn't recommend ever - had an absolute nightmare with them which lasted all of 4 days.

At the end of the day, the Reseller account is shared hosting so the CP is not in the same league as Plesk etc, but it is good enough for shared. They use 123-reg to sort out the domains, which is either good or bad depending on your opinion (I seem to remember that RuralWeb was a fan of WF/123-reg, but I've misquoted him in the past.....). If you need the control that dedicated hosting provides then a reseller account is not for you, but I suspect it is fine for most companies.

Recently got a dedicated server from them, the control panel is very poor and has very limited designs for the clients account - a custom layout requires variables, which are similar to ASP, but limited to about 10 different commands (main navigation, sub navigation, page name, description, etc - not enough to be able to have a bespoke design). So have wiped the server clean to install cPanel on, much better!

If you would like us to quote for a dedicated server with 200gb bandwidth allowance please get in touch.

We have a dedicated server from UKFAST who are superb, bit cheaper than rackspace but probably as good, support excellent

Thanks for all your replies.

I have been looking at web fusion and don host dedicated servers.

Does anyone have any experience with these?

We are looking at a dedicated server.

Thanks,
