Why are the Reseller Plans cheaper (in terms of resources) than the Shared Plans?
Our Reseller plans are at a totally different level compared to our Shared Plans. Our Reseller plans require more setup time and a greater learning curve to setup. Additionally, Resellers can use no more than 33% of the given disk space and bandwidth resources in a single account. That means if you are signed up for the ValueHost plan, the biggest account you can host is 1.66GB Disk Space (33% of 5GB) and 26.66GB Monthly Transfer (33% of 80GB). You can host an unlimited number of smaller accounts but cannot create a single large account that is larger than 33% of the given Disk Space or Monthly Transfer. This rule ensures that your accounts get evenly spread over multiple servers, allowing us to sell you bulk resources cheaper. In a Shared Plan, your websites are hosted from a single server and hence the entire load of your websites are centered on one server.
