Identifying reseller or real host?

llegent · 07-24-2006, 08:48 PM

I have just been thinking these few days as my server seems pretty unstable and I wonder how would I be able to tell as whether my host is "real host" with own data center

, or just yet another reseller?

Yes, I can check thru their DNS record via WHOIS. But as most reseller hosting can also set their own DNS, checking this record wouldn't be able to provide a clear indication isn't it?

What tool or way could be used to identify between reseller and real host with own data center?

that might be a tough one.
have you tried googling your hosting company?
or the hosting forums might have more info.

I think reseller have some large urls in the domain.
I mean domain is redirects to the large url. I do not have any experience with ressellers. But I saw some like that.
