I agree with what you are saying. I develop in ASP and have MSSQL databases in the background on all sites/applications. What I found I needed to do to "fit in" with the reseller limits was to reduce the database space for each of the sites. The databases are limited to a certain size... giving room to grow and I get notification if they need more. This way I grow the space needed by the size of the website and its database(s).
Now, coming on from that... I've decided to get more control over my hosting environment as I was sick of H365 crap about installing com objects and stuff so I've a provisional order in with Blacknight for a nice dedicated server for me to use. Ok, the price steps up a bit but the clients going onto it will be covering the costs so I don't mind too much.
But if you can control the space you give to each client then, that's the way to go for the moment maybe. If a website only needs 5-10mb of space... don't give it 50mb when it will probably never need it. I was able to half my usage by removing unused database space.
And to continue your rant... on both the developer reseller and the gold reseller from H365... the MSSQL space is the same (500mb). This is the main reason for needing to upgrade the account. What's the point of that!!!! |
