resller vs dedicated

December 11th, 2006, 11:00 PM

What "server" does the reseller accounts use?

I run multiple domains, and planned on a dedicated solution -- however looking at the breakdown of the reseller accounts, that could work just as well. Only thing is, the reseller option is much cheaper -- so what are we getting for hardware on the reseller option, and is it a shared hosting package?

Thanks.

It's cheaper because you're not the only one on it. There could be 10 other resellers... and, one of their customers could be a spammer and get your server in all kinds of trouble...

So, reseller is a "super size" shared program.

If you want your own stuff that you control, you go VPS or DEDI.

Reseller accounts are on very good servers... I believe they are dual core Xeon, 2GB ram, appropriate hard drive space for the clients on it.... Better then you'll typically find on a dedicated server, but as BigJohn said... it's shared among many more clients. If you use a lot of server resources, and you want a lot of control around your hosting, and you can afford it... dedicated is the solution you should be taking.

Just to correct -

The "Reseller" servers are 2xdual core Opteron (2 cpu, 2core each).

Effectively, especially with Opteron, you do have "4" cpu's... each has it's own L2 cache even, unlike the core2duo with it's big shared pile of cache...

There are just 2 main memory pipelines. But they're Hypertransport, so they're getting the data from ram as fast as the ram can deliver....
