Hi @0____0 -- appreciate the interest
We are working on replenishing inventory in our Ashburn location. In the meantime, our New York location is also on the east coast, and should provide similar latency. Here's a looking glass: http://lg-ny.racknerd.com/ (about 15ms to Ashburn)
Thank You for participating in our lounge, and we hope to do business with you.
From what I figure, CloudLinux resource limits are for each cPanel account. So if your sites are spread across multiple domains, you'd have a lot more breathing room with Reseller vs. setting all your domains as add-ons under 1 big cPanel account.
Hi @0____0 -- excellent question! A reseller hosting is a step up from shared hosting. Think of cPanel as the frontend, and WHM as the backend. With a reseller account, you'd create the cPanel shared hosting accounts within WHM. In other words, it allows you to monetize and start earning revenue, as it allows you to create cPanel shared hosting accounts yourself (whether you give that to your friends/colleagues/clients, or start a hosting business, is entirely up to you). We have for example had some customers that had existing businesses in other industries, i.e. web design who started to offer web hosting to their customers by leveraging a reseller hosting account with us. While on the other hand, we have had customers that wanted to get in the hosting industry, and started with a reseller hosting account (some of which have since grown to multiple dedicated servers with us!)
The following YouTube video was created early this year, but perhaps some of the points we mentioned here would still be useful info to know if you're looking to get into the industry:
Since we uploaded that video, some things within the hosting industry have changed (i.e. WHMCS licensing price changes, as well as us forming a partnership with Clientexec to offer RackNerd customers with FREE Clientexec licensing) - but the key fundamentals of that video still remain relevant which I think you might find useful.
Hope this helps
Hi @AndrewL64 -- absolutely. Feel free to open a sales ticket or reach out to me directly at [email protected] and let me know what you're looking for
Hi @chrishch -- it is
We've doubled your bandwidth -- we sincerely appreciate you choosing RackNerd.
Hi @melp57 -- generally if signing up with accurate information, and as long as you're not connected behind a VPN connection when ordering, there shouldn't be any issues. If there was, I apologize about that and would like to learn more about this particular incident so we can identify what occurred. Please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected]
We leverage the experience and platform of third party payment processors for automated risk management and compliance. We also utilize other third party payment processors, i.e. Stripe, CoinPayments, Payssion, etc for other payment methods that we offer outside of PayPal.
@jbiloh -- awesome, right? And we're just getting started! Let's goooo 🥳
I host a lot of wordpress sites using VPSs with Gridpane, sometimes Webinoly and agree with you. However, I have a bunch of sites I host free for friends or small nonprofits and I thought shared might be a good place to put these sites. I don't have to manage the server or worry about capacity. I expected performance to be slower, but for free I am not promising anything to my free clients. I was surprised to see how fast it was, though (it has OLS). The sites are backed up (it's a little convoluted, typical cPanel stuff, but it works), and the support is fast and excellent for the few times I've needed it. They added shell access and were very flexible in helping me set up the environment in a way that worked for me. It seems to be an amazing deal for the price. Hope that helps!
Hi @Logano -- you bring up a good point, that is correct. That is another benefit and potential of a reseller hosting account, outside of the monetization possibilities.
For those curious (generous LVE limits):
CloudLinux LVE Specifications (per cPanel Account):
CPU - 100%
I/O Limit - 80 MB/s
IOPS Limit - 15,000
Physical Memory Limit - 1GB
EPROC (Entry Processes) Limit - 200
NPROC Limit - 220
INODE Limit - No limit
Thanks Dustin! I am already a customer with a few VPSs as well, and I'm looking at the deals this year. If I wanted to change my shared account to a reseller one, is that possible? I probably wouldn't want to move any sites from one account to another. Thanks
With the increase, you have to know how to reformat, service won't do it for you. VPS are unmanaged. I ran into this situation.
I think it was actually on my side. I split the purchase between PayPal balance and credit card. I think that was a PayPal issue.
You rock! I'm so glad you accepted PayPal,
Any desire to sponsor a small streamer with a small VPS?
Hi @0____0 -- happy to hear that, appreciate the continued business and support. We can definitely help get you upgraded from a shared hosting account over to a reseller. Shoot me an e-mail - [email protected]
LA DC2? So the poor download speed is a universal issue not just mine?
Hi @haticus -- that's awesome that you're a streamer, that takes commitment and dedication, especially when building a following. Keep up the good work.
While we don't sponsor at this current time, you can participate in our giveaways for a chance to win. There's plenty of opportunity

Hi @foitin -- as a heads up, @tototo's VPS is within our LA DC-02 location - geographic distance between the VPS and the remote network test destinations play a big role in speeds. In this case, I see most of the tests were in very far remote destinations from Los Angeles, i.e. London and Paris both of which are very far from LA, and in completely different continents. If your audience is mostly in Europe, perhaps consider a VPS in the east coast such as our New York location for better latency and network speeds to that region. The general rule of thumb is to pick the server location closest to the majority of your audience. If that is not possible, then putting your site behind a CDN like CloudFlare to optimize edge delivery times is recommended.
I'm uncertain as to why the benchmarking script that @tototo ran didn't run a speed test on any west coast servers such as Los Angeles (if I recall correctly, the YABS script typically does include one LA iperf test server) - perhaps the test servers were busy at the time of running the benchmark. It's also worth mentioning that during this time of the year, a lot of benchmarks are being ran as people deploy new servers from Black Friday offers, putting additional load on the remote iperf3 network test servers that the benchmark script uses.
If you're just looking to get an idea of download speed, you can run the below command:
wget -O /dev/null http://cachefly.cachefly.net/100mb.test
Or to one of our other west coast datacenters, such as:
wget -O /dev/null http://lg-sj.racknerd.com/100MB.test
Feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] and I'll be happy to look further into your specific case as well if you are experiencing any issues. We are always open to adjusting/optimizing routes on demand as well, though we use Noction IRP which usually does a fine job at that.
Hello @dustinc ,
Invoice #1196616
last time (Chinese year promo) I ordered new VPS and even forgot to ask about dobule bandwith - but is it possible to raise the disk space instead of the transfer boost
Thanks, you do a great job!
Commenting to enter the giveaway. Scroll on
Hi @imhostede -- Thank You for doing business with us
Happy to see that our service quality has been treating you well. We do a very good job providing stable services, along with competitive pricing.
While we cannot double your disk space, we can double your bandwidth (if it hasn't already been). Please share your order or invoice number and I'll make sure we take care of that.
thanks for the quick feedback, i don't even use my real bandwidth because double bandwidth is not needed as much as for example expanding the space by about 10-15 gb
I think that I have to wait for giveaway!
Btw my Invoice ID was: #1196616
Got a VPS during 11-11 sale and performance is good. Planning to get a reseller hosting this time.
Do you you mean the invoice number? #800050
Order 6384848056, please double the bandwidth. Great deals!
Hi @imhostede -- You're very welcome and totally understand. We've doubled your bandwidth 👊
Thank You once again for doing business with RackNerd.
Very happy to hear this @IamJAX -- it's always refreshing to see the positive feedback we receive from valued customers such as yourself.
We look forward to your growth and are confident you'll enjoy our reseller product line and the features that come with it.
Hi @rullbiskviit -- appreciate your business!
We've gone ahead and doubled your bandwidth 👊
Correct - that is all that is needed
We've just doubled your bandwidth. Thank You for the support.

Have been a customer for over a yr and a half - running good
Only thing I could ask for is big-storage plans with HDD - but each provider has their own niche.
