Moving From Hostgator Reseller to VPS
I have reseller hosting with Hostgator and have recently found that they are blocking a high number of emails going to and from the domains I am hosting using Cloudmark and spamhaus automated blacklisting. Also, receipients of email from the domains (including my own) are getting blocked becasue hostgators SMTP servers themselves routinely appear in these black lists.
So I am looking for a new host and thought that if I get a VPS with dedicated IP I should not have these same problems again.
I have an exisiting VPS which I use for rsync backup which I found through LEB and have had no problems with it.
So, looking on LEB I came across KayHosting offering:
600GB SSD Space
30 TB Monthly Bandwidth
Create Shared Hosting Accounts
Create Reseller Hosting Accounts
Create UNLIMITED Accounts
Dedicated IP Address
Host Unlimited Domains
cPanel/WHM Control Panel
WHMReseller Master Reseller Panel
DDoS Protected Servers
NY Datacenter
$39/yr
This seems extreamly cheap as I am paying $25/month for Hostgator Reseller account. What's the catch?
Also, will I be able to get the IP address to check that it is not already in the blackilists before commiting?
Also, will I be able to migrate the 15 domains I currently host over to the new server without going grey in the process?
Any advice appreciated.

VPS incl. cPanel for $39/year? This is not a serious provider in my eyes.
Edit: seems its Alpha Reseller but still not a serious price.
These day, if you find it on LEB..... just make your research carefully since it's probably a scam...
$39/yr
Ah Buffalo.

Don't do it. Server specs state 4x 1TB Samsung 860 Professional Series SSD’s, without overselling that is only 6 accounts (600GB) @$39/y, total $234/y. cPanel licence alone is $419.40/y. You do the maths.
So, it seems this will be a very poor service. Who are the decent providers for VPS with dedicated IP with WHM/CPanel?
It isn't, it's a master reseller.
Still, these are ColoCrossing nodes which means 4x1T drives in RAID. So, anywhere from 2TB to 4TB storage available depending on RAID level. They claim RAID10 in the posting, so lets go with that.
So they're collecting around $3.00/month per 600GB reseller account. I'm thinking they're new to the shared market, because I can tell you from experience, the vast majority of my large resellers use the space they buy.
Good luck to them, but that's a bad time.

It sounds like you need a cheaper VPS than what is offered with Webmin installed.
@gjs123456 the catch is web hosts like KayHosting will give you bad performance on CPU, disk I/O after 2-3 months (or earlier) of your sign up. Don't believe? Try them out and you'll be the one posting a bad review of them quite soon!
Go with someone who is reliable. Lot of LET hosts here are reliable and perform good.
LEB providers are scumbag.
SSD is a lie
I bought a KVM with SSD with 2 vCPU. Look at this shitty Benchmark
https://serverscope.io/trials/WDy6
SSD 4 MB/s random read
SSD 0.89 MB/s random direct write
Fuck you hostflyte & Kyle.
In your case, I recommend @HostDoc reseller since he also offers cPanel. His SMTP servers are clean.
don't even think about kayhosting, I have horrible experience with them. If you still decided to go with them then be ready for things like Massive downtime, Server wipe out , non exsting support, Headache and frustration. Best of luck
Goes for anything posted on LEB in the past 6 months. Note that there's a distinct difference between LET and LEB. LET is quite a bit cleaner and open to providers NOT hosted on the colocrossing network.
While LEB are complete asshats it's clear from the offers Kayhost are pumping out that what they are offering is simply unsustainable. I'm struggling to see what lead you to believe that you'd be getting a quality service from them?
Everyone hopes to score a deal, that's why LEB shit continues to thrive
Better to go with @Francisco ( BuyShared) or if ur looking for cheap VPS then i will suggest Contabo
Or get a slice with free Directadmin if you aren't married to the cPanel idea
Francisco
Well the best thing you can do is getting a vps and installing whm on it, then you can resell as much as you want. I dont know what your budget is but this is the best solution
cyber is better or directadmin?
Depends what you're after.
Directadmin is a great panel and has a lot of products integrated with it.
Francisco
How is directadmin for wordpress hosting?
That's a manual thing by default.
I'm going to be including Softaculous for free for all Directadmin (and cPanel!) customers very soon to ease that pain.
Francisco
Get BuyVM or Vultr, use CyberPanel (free with openlitespeed) or DirectAdmin which is free on BuyVM
Much cheaper and faster.
i saw softaculous is already on my resellers accounts,
thanks
Thats shared.
This is for our vps customers
Francisco
ahhh. great
