I don't know...what if a reseller goes out of business? With a big name host, you should have more security about that. _________________ Just COPY the system from Ewen Chia. http://www.AffiliateKickstart.com

I've had the experience - twice!
First time, 5 or 6 years ago I was paying about $ 400 a month for a dedicated server. First thing that happened was my site got hacked. They whan asked about their "daily backup" I got a shrug of the shoulders and a "sorry bout that" and that was it. No backup. This was a large, at the time one of the top 10 in the US servers. Within 90 days they were out of business. Just shut down.
Just recently, I was reselling for a guy who was leasing hardware from a server outfit. He was in a bad accident and unable to run his business from his hospital bed. That one died a bit at a time, first no new accounts, then no support of any kind, then no cpanel access, etc. Finally got an email from the serverr farm guy, saying folks had about a day and a half to either pay him direct, or be shut down.
The pay or leave email came on a weekend. To make it worse, it was from a guy in Canada and it was a long weekend in Canada, so many people would be shut down without knowing anything about it. I did get him to extend it a couple of days, but that was it.
I left and found another source for my reseller business. After being stung by both a large and small outfit, I figure it really all comes down to "you pay your money and you take your chances."
