Digital Ocean Reseller?
- Thread starter HH-Jake
- Start date
I'd say there is certainly a market for it, as not everyone is capable of managing their own servers. I've got some Digital Ocean servers and have been pretty happy with them, and if I were in a situation where I was unable to manage them myself or didn't want to, going through a 3rd party who is reselling them who offers management is something I'd consider.
Good luck.

No sir, my name is Jake. It's nice to meet you. Maybe, bert is somewhere with him?
Yea, I agree. I currently only have one dedicated server, that I am using thru OVH for shared services. I dont have enough yet to get another dedicated server to manage VPS's yet.

Well your domain is nearly the same as http://www.hudsonvalleyhost.com/ - maybe best to change your domain now rather than in the future since you're new to this industry. I don't think you want to have any association with HVH, and all shell companies associated.
I still believe reseller save initial set up cost. You could start with reselling, once you start getting the response, you could buy your own server.
Actually there's a fair amount of larger enterprise-level companies focused on reselling DigitalOcean servers with a managed kick to it. I've recommended it to several people before as well actually and it's always have come out to help them out.
In addition, these companies not only resell DigitalOcean but also AWS, Google Cloud Engine, etc. But DO is probably their cheapest and their most selling platform.

Thankyou for the suggestion, but Hudson is my last name, and that wont be changing but I appreciate it!

Or you could just drop services and call it hudsonweb, or hudsonhosting just to stop with the three words which are close to a provider with a bad rep, that's because of the company who owns it Colocrossing and you don't want anything similar to them because people might think it's related somehow.

Unless it is related somehow which wouldn't surprise me at the least. No proof of the opposite up to now, whois is also privacy protected which is a negative.

Oh god that's going to put people off without even checking the service.
I remembered the company name! It was http://www.cloudways.com/en/
They resell DigitalOcean VPSs but adds a managed twist. If I recall, they're at conventions and pretty popular in the managed hosting world (from what I've seen anyways). They have a pretty decent sized presence. They were also featured on the networking podcast I listen on my commute. They simply do automated application hosting with scaling involved. This includes automatic setup of memcached, apache, varnish, nginx, and security for the VPS on DO/AWS/Google Cloud Platform so that all the client has to worry about is the content on the application they're using. I recommend this service to people who aren't too technically knowledgeable as (in a company sense) it's pretty cheap and just gets the job done. Also, all that automation through DO's API...
