Question For People That Host

MonsterCreek · April 24th, 2005, 6:16 PM

I'm in the process of starting my own hosting company. I have a dedicated server from surpasshosting and just hooked up whm autopilot. I plan on using whm autopilot to accept payments and then manually go in and setup hosting. I will be manually setting up the hosting because whm autopilot apparently sucks for that. Anyone see a problem with doing it that way? How many servers do you have for your hosting company? I have some more questions about multiple servers if anyone wants to chat my AIM is MonsterCreek.

It is not that autopilot sucks, it IS that auto-creation in general sucks because it draws more spammers and garbage like that than it is worth.

what i ment was that it lacks the ability to correctly judge how many accounts should go on a server.

Correctly judging how many accounts go on a server is best left up to the host. You should judge your hosted amount by server load.

You could conceivably have millions of websites on the server if the load is low enough.
