"You need to design your own site"? For what?

[will]

BTW, I just want to state for the record that I will, at some point, be making my own site for my RSP sales when and if I decide to keep RSP as my hosting provider.

wasn't the whole point of this thread that you where ranting about how people don't need to make their own site........

NO. The whole point of this thread was to debunk the myth and outright lies that in order to make any sales at all using RSP as your provider, you need to design your own site and not use a template. Please go back to school and learn reading and comprehension, dude. You are now effectively on my ignore list. You have done nothing but twist words and meanings and personally attacked me & my sites since you have started posting here. Please get a clue. If you want to learn how ot make friends, please read Dale Carnegie's books. But since you can't read, you are probably better off buying the audio books LOL.

whatever man the internet's full of **** sites you keep plodding away one more won't hurt i look forward to seeing your site, until then go and do something productive....i don't know, see if you can start anymore threads and then start *****in because someone contributes who has an opinion, or alternatively just go and boil your head, ******

[will]

Just noticed this again your going back and editing your posts.

BTW, looking at the site in your link, I see that you must make tons of sales and get lots of clients with that "site under construction" bit. LOL. And you were making fun of the sites in my sig. LOL. You have some nerve.

Why does site under construction mean i have some nerve? I am an established web developer and my company recently re-designed it's site (for which I am not the lead developer on the site re-design) however at the same time we still have clients that we are working with, all that is intended by the Under development notice is so that potential clients know that it's not finished and just don't think it's ****....

80% of our client base does not come from the internet anyway, like anybody with half a brain I appreciate that the internet is saturated with **** and trying to find anything of any real value is next to impossible especially when it comes to services such as design and hosting. I am very good at what I do, and make plenty of money.

RSP is simply another way of bringing in more money, it saddens me however to think that total ******** like you can be in a position to offer anything in terms of internet services. You have the demeanor of a SS Storm Trooper and I can imagine you now sat behind your monitor in your one bedroom apartment eating candy whilst taking time out from playing World of Warcraft to come and make a nuisance of yourself on here.

Moderators delete, lock remove whatever you like this post. I was looking for a community, unfortunately the overbearing, oppressive ramblings of this inbred ***** have totally put of these forums.

Tool, good day and Happy Easter!

toolsavvy, its not jsut about "tricking" people it's about being able to take pride in your site. I do have my own dedicated server that i pay for each month regradless which I use for my design clients, i have designed my own site to handle RSP hosting for my non design clients, either way as a web designer I couldnt expect people to buy anytinhg from me if my website was one of those templates, no offence to the guys here at RSP but they are aweful if you want to be taken seriously it must look like you are serious about whatt you do, and who googles a telephone number before ringing it??

if you dont care how your sites look (and judgin by the sites in your sig you dont) then use the templates

if you want to be taken seriously and trake pride in your work design your own site, if you cant then you haev no chance of making any moeny

Good frank comment.

Good frank comment.

thank you i'm glad someone can see where i'm coming from

I think the RSP templates are great. And I want to acknowledge that RSP know what they're doing with marketing. They are a successful proven business.

The templates are fine to a point, especially if you're aiming at the general hosting community. If you want to aim at a particular niche (which I recommend you doing) then yes, the templates are not necessarily suitable.

I think it is definitely possible to run a successful reseller business with their templates.

[Programmer]

There is still value in this thread. People have opened up and given us some insight into how their business is run. I agree with toolsavvy, for his situation he requires the anonymity. As well the wording on the RP templates is kind of *****ic... to a degree you answered your own original post. For will's situation, he needs a designed site, yet his clients aren't coming from the internet. As far as I know, an under construction site is a little unprofessional. J.L.H.C. call forwarding idea is fabulous.

Would anyone know how to setup a redirecting/forwarding number with Skype?

Would anyone know how to setup a redirecting/forwarding number with Skype?

i think if you were to do this (not usre it's possible) you would be paying for the call from skype to RSP support?

[syownet]

Yes we'd be paying for the call between. If RSP were using Skype, I could probably just buy a phone number for SkypeIn that went straight to their Skype, and then I wouldn't be paying for the calls between....?

Not a bad idea that is if RSP support does Skype?!

Milen can probably fill us in here? Would give us an extra level of anonymity that no other reseller program has.

no offence to the guys here at RSP but they are aweful

I would appreciate when you make such statements to support them with arguments. We have always been open to constructive criticism. If you have suggestions about improving the reseller templates, you are welcome to post them in the respective forum section. I can guarantee that the suggestions will reach the team responsible for designing the reseller templates, but this does not mean that any suggestion made will be automatically approved and implemented.

who googles a telephone number before ringing it??

I know a whole bunch of people that do. They are sitting a few rooms away from me and are called Resellers Panel Anti-Fraud (or if you prefer Sales Verification) Department. However, you are probably both right and wrong here. An average online customer would not probably google a telephone number before calling, a more informed and cautious customer on the other hand might do so.

No offense to Milen, but I was hoping to get some intelligent posters on this thread.

Just because someone holds an opinion that is contrary to your own, does not mean that this person is unintelligent.
Furthermore, if one does not like the sites in your signature, does not mean that he is attacking you personally or that the sites are automatically bad. As the old saying goes – different stokes, for different folks. Perception of design and aesthetics is subjective to a large extent and everyone is entitled to their own opinion as long as they express it in a polite and civilized manner. Reverting to name-calling, however, is neither polite, nor civilized and will not be tolerated from any member on this forum.

Some people just cannot take different views and marketing plans. they just have a one-track mind.

Please remember that this goes both directions.

Too many teenagers ruining things here.

Offensive qualifications of another forum member are not a sign of mature behavior.

the text on the homepage and other text cannot be changed in the templates and it is too general, sometimes kind of *****ic

If you have any suggestions regarding the text on the reseller templates, you are welcome to make them.

However, to say that you cannot make ANY sales at all with an RSP template is *****ic and only said by those that just don't know any better. I make sales using an RSP template and I'm sure others do, too.

Even if someone is saying this, it is just an opinion, which is as good as any other. I know a few resellers here on the forum that are pretty successful with running their own custom-designed sites. On the other hand, I know of few other resellers, which are not members of the forum, as far as I know, that are doing great using only reseller templates. One solution cannot be suitable for everyone and there are definitely resellers, whose requirements cannot be met by a reseller template and they have the option to design a custom web hosting store of their own.

Anyway, this thread is pretty much dead as it has been hijacked by the ignorant and immature.

Well, I think you have a good share in turning the thread into a childish quarrel yourself with your few previous posts here.

If you want to learn how ot make friends, please read Dale Carnegie's books. But since you can't read, you are probably better off buying the audio books

I doubt that Carnegie wrote that offending others is the right path to gaining many friends.

As well the wording on the RP templates is kind of *****ic...

If you feel that you can contribute to improving this, you are welcome to post your suggestions to the respective section of the forum.

We are using Skype for outgoing calls only. Incoming calls are handled through another application.

Thanks Milen, I'll probably leave the idea of getting my own phone number and redirecting it.
