Tricky OC5 Situation

Hi!

I am considering buying another OC5 plan, except i would like to know if it will do what i want first :P

Oki so the situation is basically:

I run a music site, there are two sides to it now, the white and black side.
I would like both sides to have their own OC5 plan, 100gb transfer each, with 5gb space each. This is easy enough, however i want it so that visitors of the site firstly go to http://www.nightgen.com where they are taken to a choice between either white or black. From there they will be directed to either http://black.nightgen.com or http://white.nightgen.com. Also if one account were to exceed its bandwidth, it wouldnt interfere with the other accounts (big problem )

Any feedback is appreciated!!

The only way I can think getting this to work the way you want is to get the oc10 account.

You would have nightgen.com as your main free account, which holds the chooser page. Then you would have your 2 accounts setup with 5GB space and 100 GB bandwidth as subdomains.

I do realize it does cost more ($41 per year more), but it's all I can really think of that could achieve what you're looking at.

You could probably get some reseller here to hook you up with a custom plan...

Try asking in the dedicated forum.

speaking from personal experience, I have the OC10 plan and I love it. Just my two cents.

Yep,
I love OC5 plans also,
but i dont want to become a reseller i dont need all the functions.
Even if the surpass made a reseller account, and put my two accounts on it i dont care,

I guess all i need is a new OC5 plan setup on the address white.nightgen.com. I have been told you cant do that, which i understand :P

When you buy a reseller package, you don't have to resell space. I know I don't.

Well, I guess that's not true. I host my client's sites, but I also code them so it's just easier for me. I don't charge them hosting expenses though.
