Ready to dive into hosting? - We have a limited number of reseller plans available for professional web developers who would like to host but can not justify the cost of an administered, dedicated server.

If you are a web developer with a significant number of clients or if you have a large number of your own commercial web sites, these programs may be just what you need!

With full control over 6, 12 or 25 domains, you and can add, delete and maintain them yourself without our help. You activate the features on each domain and control various levels of access as well as bandwidth, disk space and email account limitations. We only bill you and you can bill your clients whatever and whenever you like.


	Control 6 Domains 12 GB bandwidth 1200 MB disk space $29.95 per month


	Control 12 Domains 24 GB bandwidth 2400 MB disk space $49.95 per month


	Control 25 Domains 50 GB bandwidth 5000 MB disk space $89.95 per month

Think this program might be for you?
Well hold it right there cowboy!

It is important to note that these programs are not for everyone. We have a very limited number of these accounts available and we intend to sell them to people who can make good use of them! Please read this page carefully and decide if your business model is a good match for this program.

Location - This plan is primarily intended for United States based companies and individuals. We will not exclude international clients out of hand because we have some very good ones in the UK and Australia already. However, because of the high risk of credit card fraud on international orders we will require absolute flawless documentation before we sell this program outside of our borders.

International clients will be required to fax us a front and back photocopy of their credit card and identification such as a drivers license before we will open an account unless we can be provided with some sort of verifiable information about who they are and what they do.

Knowledge and skill level - You do not have to be a Unix guru to handle this program. In fact, you will use the same tools you work with everyday as a web developer. We provide a control panel for you to administer your clients from and even walk you through the first creation of a domain on your account.

What you will be expected to know is how to work with common web interfaces and how to use all the standard tools an accomplished webmaster uses. Our support is limited to the correct functioning of our servers only. Yes, we do provide the SQL, PERL and PHP engines for you to use, no, we won't tutor you on how to use them!

We expect you to know how to apply whatever it is that you want to apply. The same support policy we provide on our own retail virtual servers is in place for resellers as well. We provide no support to your clients, you are completely responsible for support on the domains you manage.

Adherence to our Acceptable Use Policy - Our AUP defines in no uncertain terms what we do and do not allow on our servers. Read our AUP carefully, it is in place to protect not only us but all of our clients and we will not tolerate anyone putting our network in jeopardy.

Resellers are required to police their own clients in order to assure they are within our acceptable guidelines. Make no mistake about it, you are ultimately responsible for your clients actions, good judgment must be used about who you host and who you give access to.

Clients found in violation of our AUP will be removed without notice or refund. Resellers who frequently show bad judgment about who they host on our servers will have their reseller accounts suspended.


	Still Interested? OK... here are the specifics of the program. - This is a service by professionals, for professionals and it is not laden with hype, long term contracts or confusing options and add-ons. The only optional item is IP based hosting for selected domains. We provide name based hosting which is all most people need. The only time IP based hosting is required is when an Anonymous FTP or SSL for ecommerce is needed. We can and will provide IP's if you need them for specific domains but you must have a reason for needing them and there is an additional charge of $5.00 per IP, per month. If you intend to run SSL for a shopping cart, you will also need to purchase a certificate for each domain you intend to run ecommerce on and install that certificate through your control panel. We do not sell certificates, you purchase them from a certificate provider and they cost an average of $100.00 per year.


	Hosting is provided on our rock solid PC based servers running under RedHat Linux. We insulate our resellers from us by using nameservers registered to us personally instead of to our business. If your clients look you up via a whois or traceroute, you will not be connected with Fortweb.com or any other hosting company they can go to directly.

Reseller hosting includes the Plesk Control Panel for both you as the administrator and for your clients if you wish to give them access. The demo of the Plesk Control Panel linked here contains our branding but you can provide your own branding on your own control panel if you wish.

PLESK CONTROL PANEL DEMO

The Plesk Control Panel is simple yet powerful for both the administrator and the user. It will allow you to maintain your virtual server without knowing Unix and makes managing email and database accounts easy. Resellers can manage all resold accounts under one control panel.

Standard Features - All of our reseller plans come with the same standard features as our basic plans. That includes full access to PHP, CGI, PERL, MYSQL, FRONTPAGE, ERROR DOCS, LOGS, EMAIL, AUTORESPONDERS, FORWARDERS, WEB BASED EMAIL, STATISTICS APPLICATIONS and more!
