We're bringing a new Shared and Reseller server online within the next 24 to 48 hours to accommodate our growing client base. We're going to be offering a special promotion on this server for new clients and old clients are welcome to take part in the promotion as well as long as they keep their current plan active for promotion term on their new plan.

The server will be configured exactly like our Echo server:

Dual Quad Core Xeon 5520 2.26 GHZ (8 Cores + Hyper-Threading)
12 GB DDR3 Ram
Raid 10 - 4 x 300GB SAS 15K RPM Storage
100 Megabit dedicated networking port

While we could have just kept adding more accounts to our Echo server as most others providers would have we've chosen to expand to a new server so that current clients on the Echo server will still see the same high level of speed and service they always have as will all future clients placed on our new server.

If you have any questions/comments/concerns by all means feel free to respond to this thread

I'll be sure to post more details on any promotions once we have them finalized.

Edit:
The new server is accepting orders! "fresco-one-time" for 50% off one-time and "fresco-recurring" for 15% off recurring. This coupon code can be used during check out and applies only to our standard shared hosting plans at this time.

No plans on that - we've been growing slowly but very steadily and my ultimate goal is to keep the level of service and support high as MDDHosting was founded to be a very customer-centric company.

A good portion of that is due to their affiliate program

Existing clients can receive this promotion as well but will need to contact the sales department to place the order -> https://www.mddhosting.com/support/submitti...=2&deptid=2

To fill the new server why not have a very public contest and get affiliates going? First prize is an iPad.

The goal isn't to "fill" the server but to at least make it cover it's own monthly cost We may run something special towards the end of the month but for the time being the current fresco promotions are what we are going to do.

And there she is, on the server status list. Load = 0.00

Congrats on the growth.

Okay I am not quite sure what you meant in the email about:

one viable path is to simply expand to a secondary reseller account on a new MDDHosting reseller server.

Rather than getting a bigger reseller account or moving onto a singular VPS/Dedicated you could get a secondary reseller account with us and have accounts on two servers.

Hi. Congratulations.

May I ask a question? will this affect on prices for resellers?

No, we're not currently running any promotions for reseller accounts.

All that talk about multiple servers and such I figured you were going to lower the lower priced accounts to 12.50 so we could have the two accounts you talked about LOL

That's in the works, just not as of yet

You can now order a new basic reseller account on the new server for $15/month without WHMCS at this URL: https://www.mddhosti...hp?a=add&pid=57

This is a $9.50/month discount which is a 39% recurring discount.

+5 to Supernix for being epic.

I could do this but it would mean dropping Hostgator completely cold turkey and putting my eggs in one basket plus getting MDDhosting to move I forgot how many domains over. Ah I forgot I would have to have LaTex for one domain for sure.

The account would be on a different server so technically it wouldn't be all eggs in one basket :-) The basic reseller is limited to 25 accounts but intermediate is 50. Is there a reason you can't run latex with us? I've installed it and toyed with it and faced no major issues.

What account type was the link you posted it just goes to a shopping cart with no information about what your signing up for.
You could run LaTex with anyone but most servers or PC for that matter have it. The LaTex is a special program for typesetting for Mathematical or professional Typesetting.

I said what it's for before the link :-) Basic Reseller Account with no WHMCS. You can view the basic reseller account details on step 2 after entering a domain or at http://www.mddhosting.com/reseller.php.
