I approached Alex from ImpactShared who has had his brand ImpactVPS featured a few times on LowEndBox. They run cPanel with CloudLinux and utilize LiteSpeed Web Server for their setup. They state they take daily backups of your data and utilize Softaculous for script selections. They also have free SSL certificates installable at the click of a button within cPanel. They offer full SSD storage for all their shared nodes which are located in Dallas, Texas. The correct prices will be shown once you enter the checkout page.
Shared 5 – $5 per year.
They have told me that if the plan listed below does not suit you then you may use code LEBSHARED to receive 50% off any of the plans on the site .
This plan offers a respectable 5GB of SSD storage combined with a reasonable 300GB of bandwidth. They impose no restrictions on hosted domains with them and have no restrictions on email accounts, SQL databases or other features. While this is not their cheapest plan it offers a great balance of affordability and specifications. They have other plans on their website which include a larger 10GB storage option and a smaller 1GB storage option and have offered a 50% off any shared package on their site.

They have no restrictions to the amount of accounts you can create either and overselling is permitted. This is also located in Dallas, Texas and they also offer 24/7 technical support.

Nick from HudsonValleyHost sent in an offer for us and while I had reservations of including them in this list as they’re owned by ColoCrossing I believe they deserve to be on the list. My main reasoning behind this is that they are a company that has been established for awhile and I don’t see them realisticly closing doors any time soon. These offers are provided out of their Buffalo, New York location. They have stated that they run CloudLinux with cPanel and also have Softaculous for easy deployment of fresh script installations. The correct prices will be reflected once you hit continue.
LEB 35GB Shared – $14 per year
This plan is a mammoth of a plan for a shared site. It has a huge 35GB of RAID10 backed hard disk storage with a a generous 250GB of bandwidth. There are no restrictions to ftp accounts, email accounts or MySQL databases. They do daily backups that are offsite and can be retrieved by simply ticketing in but this doesn’t restrict you from making your own backups manually via cPanel. This a fantastic plan for people starting up their site or possibly wanting to start a forum. With the added bonus of Softaculous you have a lot of choices to what you want to do. They also have RVSiteBuilder and Cloudflare plugins.

Combined with all the features of the shared plan such as Softaculous, Cloudflare and RVSiteBuilder it’s a great first step to establishing your own hosting business.

No list would be complete without an offer from Francisco’s BuyShared brand. BuyShared is owned by Frantech Solutions who also operate BuyVM. They focus on incredibly affordable but feature packed shared solutions. They utilize CloudLinux and LiteSpeed web server. They have servers in Las Vegas and in Luxembourg. BuyShared is recommended to nearly every user that is looking for reseller or shared hosting over on LowEndTalk not to mention Francisco is also a very active community member over there. They also offer nightly backups of your accounts.
Shared 5G – $10 per year
This is not their cheapest plan they offer, that starts at judge $5 per year for 1GB SSD storage and 100GB bandwidth but I felt that the Shared 5G plan offered the best balance of resources and price. This plan includes 5GB of SSD storage, 500GB of bandwidth and free SSL certificates from LetsEncrypt. They also have Softaculous for easy script installations and provide every customer with a dedicated IP address. They have no restrictions to the amount of addon domains, databases or email address you can create. This is certainly a great choice for your first site.
- 5 GB SSD storage
- 500 GB of bandwidth
- Unlimited addon domains/databases and email addresses
- Free dedicated IP

Reseller 20G – $2 per month
This is the cheapest reseller package offered by BuyShared but still retains an excellent balance between resources and price. This plan gets you 20GB of SSD storage and 1TB of bandwidth. You still get all the features included in the shared plan such as LiteSpeed web server, Softaculous and a dedicated IP address for you and your clients to share. They impose no restrictions on accounts you can create and overselling is permitted. This is a fantastic plan for your first hosting venture and with two location to pick from it’s a hard package to beat.
- 20 GB SSD storage
- 1TB of bandwidth

I just want to say thank you to all the hosts that were in contact with me and helped make this list. I’m sorry that I was unable to locate any reseller or shared offers not utilizing cPanel but if we get any in I will surely do a list of offers exclusive to providers not using cPanel. I am very interested in everyone’s feedback so please leave your thoughts down in the comments below.
