To decide the hosting company for your reseller hosting needs look out for the following:

1. What kind of support they are offering ie email only, ticketing system, phone support and a toll free phone. Email only is rather questionable.

2. Do they offer any restrictions to number of accounts in each package, This is a trap to keep you upgrading.

3. Do they offer over selling, yes it has a disadvantage, yet the way things are frankly new business cannot survive without it.

4. Do they offer domain registration reseller services as well? This keeps you compact.

5. Response time to early sales requests. If they are slow in sales cannot be good in support.

6. Years of experience. Do a whois lookup to see the domain life, OLD IS GOLD, thought the young ones can be even better.

7. Do they provide your name servers ie ns1.yourdomainname you shall need that.

8. Does the offering include dedicate IP and SSL, again at some point of time you shall need these.

9.. If you like them DISREAGARD, all the point listed above…

10. You shall be able to add at least on point to it yourself.

You can purchase minimum of 1 GB of storage space for US$ 5/month.

1 GB = US$ 5/month

3 GB = US$ 10/month

5 GB = US$ 15/month

The minimum purchase for bandwidth is 10 GB:

10 GB = US$ 10/month
20 GB = US$ 20/month
30 GB = US$ 25/month
40 GB = US$ 35/month

There are three main types of NAMESERVERS:

1) CACHING-ONLY name server does lookups of names, but controls no name records itself.
2) PRIMARY name server not only does lookups of names, but also owns the records for a domain.
3) SECONDARY name server does name lookups and it also backs up a primary name server by providing authoritative answers for a certain domain. Many name servers will combine Primary and Secondary functionality for different domains.

Upgrading VPS Hosting server to higher plan

Yes of course, you can upgrade to a higher VPS server plan at anytime. You can do it just by paying the difference in the price of the two plans.

Micfo members’ area permits you to upgrade to higher plan at any time in just a matter of seconds!

On VPS, Virtual dedicated server account, running multiple websites with Apache, Tomcat without any conflict.

Yes, with the help of your VPS account you will be able to do all these things which you have asked in your question.

With the VPS server you will have many virtual private dedicated servers at your disposal. Each VPS has its own file system so one VPS won’t be able to see any of the data of another VPS server.

You will be able to run Apache on domain X and Tomcat on domain Y, without any conflict between the two. Both will have their own port, so Tomcat can run simultaneously along with apache. With Apache running on 80 and Tomcat on 8080, both services can be rebooted individually.

Upgrading the kernel in OpenVZ

Sorry, OpenVz does not give any permission for kernel modifications or upgradations. You will be running a variant of Linux 2.6 which is the most up-to-date and steadier Linux kernel.

Installing additional Perl libraries via cPanel - control panel

Yes, only if you are using VPS server or dedicated server.

You can not install these perl libraries at your end, if you are on shared or reseller account.
We can install it for you, if you want additional perl modules. For that you will need to open a support ticket and we will get it done for you.
