During September 2017 – one of our members at FreeVPS.us started a reseller hosting account promotion by offering five FreeVPS.us members the opportunity of free ownership of a reseller account for six months in exchange for a review. I was delighted when I found myself included in the list of members who were selected for reseller accounts. Here’s the thread where the selection was made:

When I checked out the Host’s Website – Limitlesshost.net – I was quite impressed with the professional “no frills” look of the Website. At first glance it appeared that the business had locations both in the US (West Coast) and Europe. The business is young – started in 2015 – and covers a wide range of cPanel shared hosting and VPSs, the specs of which are focused on limitless generous. Usually I’m quite cynical when I see the reference limitless, but one soon discovers the Website is not just a “pretty face” and that the quality of the hosting can easily compare with the big players like Siteground and Inmotion.
Reseller Hosting is a new and recent addition to LimitlessHost’s business with the offer of three Reseller Plans: Small (10 GB SSD – 1 TB Bandwidth – 2 US$/m), Medium (30 GB SSD – 10 TB Bandwidth – 5 US$/m) and Large (60 GB SSD – 20 TB Bandwidth – 10 US$/m). The owner provided me with a Medium/Large combo Reseller Package to review – the specs of the Reseller test package are the following:
- 40 GB SSD
- 10 TB Bandwidth
- Unlimited cPanel Accounts
- Overselling Enabled
- Full WHM and cPanel with Softaculous for all accounts
The location of the package is in Los Angeles which is a bit slow in comparison with my FreeVPS.us VPS as my ISP is located very far from the LA hub. So if someone should subscribe to an account hopefully they will have a choice of an account in Europe. As far as I know the Reseller Packages are only available in LA for now. The lack in speed is however amply compensated by the efficiency of the system. Whoever set up the server has set it up for maximum performance of the five star variety. The only time when I feel the lack of speed is when I work with my WordPress Dashboard. I’d imagine for someone living close to the LA Hub that the speed would be amazing, particularly considering that the server has latest technology like SSD, PHP7, CDN and more to make websites load super fast.
Setup and support of my account were fast, flawless and excellent. It started with registration and the submission of a ticket. Both worked instantly and before I knew it I had all of the login details for the WHM and cPanel of the Reseller Account. One thing I learned immediately was that the owner cares about his product and that there was someone behind the business who is making every effort that he puts into the business his 100% effort. I would be very surprised if someone would wait longer than an hour tops for a ticket to be answered. Mine was answered and processed within minutes.
I found the WHM very easy to navigate and could see that it was set up with maximum security in mind. For example I did not have Shell access, which I was happy about, as that is an automatic sign that the server has been set up to be secure. Another great surprise was that my domain and or any domain I would add or park on my account has been set up to generate immediate self-signed certificates. Gone are the days of worrying about people who had to deal with security warnings when they open my Websites. During my initial exploration of WHM I noticed that everything that is needed is there, and not more than that. The missing parts made good sense for security. I may make inquiries later however about Configserver, a great Firewall and IP manager. One of its features I like to use is to block and unblock IPs.
