From our prospective and looking between hostgator.com and valuereseller.com we would choose hostgator.com. Both companies have high prices but based on the reviews posted around the web hostgator would come out ahead.

We have said in our other posts that web hosting companies should link to there competition if they are convinced there service is comparable or superior. My Web Star will be adding a link to hostgator.com from our site for our customers to review and can compare our hosting services to theirs before making a decision.

There are thousands of resellers you can buy from, your best solution is to go with the company that you believe to be the best and not what I or anyone else thinks, naturally all hosting providers believe their service is better than the rest. You will do the same thing, sell your service as better than the rest. But what matters is what is comfortable for you. If you like the companies plan and communicate with them and are happy with the response time, level of expertise in the hosting business, etc. then you have found the right host. Price should be the last consideration when choosing a host, and any good host isn't afraid of competition and should be willing to discuss other prospects with you even if it means loosing your business to another provider. Most will disagree with me on this as if they refer there clients to the competition then they will eventually be out of business. My Web Star has no problem with this, sometimes there are customers that are ideally suited to be with another provider as there requirements we can not meet. It is better to admit that we can't support a feature or requirement and move you to someone else than to say we can support and then fail on the promise. It is proven over and over if a customer is unhappy with you they will shout it from the roof tops to anyone who will listen. If they are happy with your service they may not shout but they will speak out when they learn someone is looking for a provider, you will be the 1st mentioned and the one defended to new prospects.

Again we hope this helps.
