Reseller Hosting

Limitlesshost – Confidence in Security

by

I’m the proud owner of a reseller package from LimitlessHost.com, purpose of which is to review it for six months. It has enormous specs like 40 GB disk space, 10 TB Bandwidth with unlimited cpanel accounts. WHM and cpanel are state of the art current and up to date with all of the Softaculous scripts on offer. It also includes DDoS protection and all of the security bells and whistles that one sees with the big players like Inmotion and Siteground for a fraction of the price.

Most servers in the hosting business claim they are optimized for safety, but I have greater confidence in the security of Limitlesshost.net.  For the very reason that the owner had learned everything he knew about security from the hard knocks of taking care of games servers.  Prior to starting LimitlessHost.net, the owner had done extremely well (still is) with providing free Games Servers in exchange for posts.  He had done that for a while before he had started his business and that was a fantastic learning ground for what is important for speed and security for a server.  Right at the top of LimitlessHost.net there is a special tab for DDos Protection.  I believe that it is not just skin deep (reading that page shows it can’t be) but that the protection means what it says after plenty of experience in the rough world of hosting games servers.

Another reason why I have confidence in LimitlessHost’s security is the way WHM has been set up.  For example I wasn’t given automatic shell access.  I’ve just been given enough privileges to set up and run cPanel accounts.  The person who set up WHM did it for safety and security and maximum performance.

 

LimitlessHost – WHM cPanel accounts

I’m the proud owner of a reseller package from LimitlessHost.com, purpose of which is to review it for six months.

It also includes DDoS protection and all of the security bells and whistles that one sees with the big players like Inmotion and Siteground for a fraction of the price.

After successfully moving my WordPress site to my LimitlessHost Reseller account, proving that the account was optimized for WordPress, I experimented with creating my first account in WHM.  What I wanted to experiment with is to create an add on domain to my primary account, and then use the add on domain for sub domains for the accounts I was planning to create.  In essence having a separate domain for my Reseller Accounts.  This was another “wow” experience for me as at the point where I created the add on domain the DNS and SSL were instantly created and the domain perfectly set up so I could create subdomains for my reseller accounts.  A further nice surprise was that the DNS propagated almost immediately after I had changed the Name Servers at the Domain Registrar.  Before I created the account I had created a package and that had been seamless too.  So when I created a new account in my Reseller Package all I needed basically was to include all of the details with the name of the package.  For the domain all I needed was to put in a sub-domain that corresponded with the account name.  The sub-domain was instantly set up.  Mission very easily accomplished!

Creating an add on domain to work with new accounts and creating the new accounts were a breeze!

LimitlessHost – WordPress Optimized

I’m the proud owner of a reseller package from LimitlessHost.com, purpose of which is to review it for six months.  It has enormous specs like 40 GB disk space, 10 TB Bandwidth with unlimited cpanel accounts.  WHM and cpanel are state of the art current and up to date with all of the Softaculous scripts on offer.  It also includes DDoS protection and all of the security bells and whistles that one sees with the big players like Inmotion and Siteground for a fraction of the price.

One of the claims in the presentation of its hosting is that it is WordPress Optimized and I can vouch for that.  First thing I did when I started to work with the package was to set up this WordPress blog on my reseller account.  What I wanted to do was to import an existing WordPress site that I had to back up and store when HostMada had closed its services.  This would be an excellent test to see how the Reseller Package would work with a WordPress site.  It worked beautifully.

First part was to install the WordPress script from Softaculous and that was done well under five minutes.  I then downloaded the Duplicator Plugin which is the WordPress plugin that is used to transport Websites.  That went easy too.  Next was to upload the Installer and Backup zipped files and I did this effortlessly with the cPanel File Manager.  Duplicator Plugin is a great test in the sense that it asks for special server settings in order for the backup and unzipping of folders and files to work.  The Reseller Package worked perfect with the plugin.  Before I knew it I had the Installer Page up, unzipped and loaded the backup and I had my WordPress site up and running exactly as it was before I had to close it a month ago.  Proof that Limitlesshost Reseller Package is optimised for use with WordPress!

LimitlessHost – Setup and Support

by

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:

https://freevps.us/thread-21311.html

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.
