WebSiteSource Review
For customers looking for a hosting partner that will give them the tools that they need at every step of the website design, host and promotion cycle WebSiteSource seems to be the solution.
The company features a very wide range of plans that cater to individuals, small businesses and even large businesses that do not want to deal with the headache of running and managing servers.
Hosting Plans
No matter what you are looking for, chances are that WebSiteSource has a plan to fit your needs. Everything from shared web hosting to dedicated servers is available.
Customers can choose from the Starter, Pro or Pro Plus plans which are priced $6.95, $9.95 and $12.95 based on a one year prepayment. Prices rise if customers opt for a lower prepayment term.
All plans have unlimited storage space and data transfer. The Starter plan is only able to host 3 domains while the other two are able to host an unlimited number of domains. The number of MySQL databases is also limited to 3 in the starter plan while there is no limit on the Pro or Pro Plus plans. A long list of software applications is included in all the plans. Applications include:

All plans are e-Commerce ready and come with features like customer management system and OS Commerce shopping cart.
For larger businesses that need more control over their servers WebSiteSource provides both virtual private servers and dedicated servers. Virtual Private Servers start at $25.45 per month if you pay for 1 year for the VPS-10 plan. The plan gives 10GB of storage space, 250GB of data transfer and can host 10 domains. It comes with 256MB of RAM which is burstable to 2GB if required. A number of other plans are also offered for clients that require more capacity. The top of the line is the VPS-100 plan which costs $67.96 per month if you pay for 1 year in advance. The plan allows for 1TB of data transfer, has 100GB storage space and can host unlimited domains. It also has 1MB of RAM which is burstable to 4GB. All servers are accessed via the provided Plesk interface.
If you would like to have your own physical dedicated server WebSiteSource can provide you with a number of plans as well. By partnering with Genuine Unmetered they are able to provide a number of plans which start at $160 per month.
Reseller Program
If you would like to enter into the world for web hosting yourself, WebSiteSource provides reseller programs which allow you to do just that. Resellers are able to use the infrastructure of WebSiteSource and sell their own privately labeled web hosting service. The Reseller60 is the base package and costs $46.71 per month if you sign up for 1 year. The setup fee of $25 is also waived if you sign up for a period of 1 year. This package provides you with 60GB of storage and 500GB of data transfer to distribute amongst your clients as you see fit. You are able to give your customers the same features that you enjoy as a client of WebSiteSource.
Affiliate Program
If you would like to earn extra cash but don't want to set up your own reseller account, WebSiteSource has an affiliates program which allows you to earn up to $85 per referral.
Customer Support and Reviews
In the event that you need to contact WebSiteSource they provide a number of means such as email, phone, online chat and online ticket system. An extensive knowledge base is also available that can help find answers to questions from a wide range of topics such as databases, DNS server and web performance.
The company also features a long list of positive customer testimonials on their website and also has a number of positive reviews on external websites.
Company Information
WebSiteSource was founded in 1999 and is completely based in the US. To go along with the long list of positive customer feedback the company also has a list of awards and certifications from companies like cNet and D&B. One thing to note however is that all these awards were won several years ago. There is a lack of awards in recent years which do call into question their quality.
The information in this review is for educational purposes only and should not be taken as a referral.
While having a wide variety of plans and features, the lack of awards in recent years could make one wonder how good their current service levels are.
