robebrum Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 I have one website with Hawk Host now. Would like to develop several more. These will not be large sites and bandwidth will likely be low. Questions: 1. Is it easier managing a handful of small sites using a reseller package or using basic individual sites for each. 2. If I go to a reseller package, can that package later be easily increased if traffic warrants. Comment Got my first site on Hawk Host about a year ago. They've been absolutely tremendous. I notice others seem genuinely happy too. They help us so how might we help them? Noticed someone designed a favicon for them. How about a small logo plus "Powered by Hawk Host" which could be placed on our index pages. Perhaps there's a downside I'm missing. If not, why not consider it.

fenerli Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 If you are the only person managing the sites, maybe with the occasional FTP access given to someone, a shared account with addon domains can serve you well enough. Otherwise, a reseller hosting account is the way to go. This also has the other obvious advantage that you can offer hosting to others with their own control panels.Not certain but I'm fairly sure you can easily upgrade to a higher plan whether you are on shared or reseller hosting plans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob We "help them" by paying them a fee per month Other than that, I like the idea of a "powered by" graphic. If no one else designs one, and if I have time when I get back from my NYC vacation, I'll see if I can't put something together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 The other question was answered and I can confirm whether shared or reseller hosting it's easy to upgrade. Now as far as helping us out a great way is to post a solid review. We get quite a bit of traffic from sites like http://www.webhostingstuff.com/ and http://hostjury.com/ to name two but I'm sure there are others. More reviews on sites like these help us out quite a bit. Never hurts to post your thoughts in a blog post on your site or something like that. Now as far as powered by logo's or anything like that. Just wait until we have a new site and everything. We're going to have a mascot an awesome logo and a powerful interactive site. I just can't wait until it all comes together.

Cody R. Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I totally agree with Tony's whole post. I any ETA? Pretty soon - expect to see a fully done site in the next month or so. We're very excited to get this rolling, it will be more informative and offer quite a bit more dynamic content regarding things such as our blog, forums, specials, and general operations.

Tony Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 It's tough to do when you are coordinating with a artist for drawings another person for the site design then finally having programming done for it and content created. There were delays on numerous stages resulting in delays for the others. We have the programming side basically done and now it's just a matter of cleaning up the content.

I Understand how the delays are. Hense the time it took my new site to come online.. But, I don't know when exactly your new site was started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnummep Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Designers always have a different view than developers, and artists different than desingers, so it's only logical that it all takes time. I've seen it happens several times that initial deadlines are just not realistic when working with third parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedturtle Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 In this business it takes time to be really good - and by that time, it's obsolete.Brilliance takes time. Choose one of the above. Seriously, there's really no urgency as the current site functions well. It's better to have the new site properly designed, developed, and tested before it is released. Prospective customers could easily be turned off by a broken site. Anyways, we had a glimpse of the mascot and it looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
