Recently, Ryan Gray, CEO of NameHero, proudly introduced the company’s latest service offering—CloudShield VPS. CloudShield is designed specifically to meet the evolving needs of Managed Service Providers (MSPs), resellers, and web hosts, offering a cloud hosting solution with enhanced features that aim to improve performance, security, and scalability.
Unlike traditional reseller hosting packages, CloudShield offers a more flexible, high-performance alternative. With this new service, resellers can deliver faster, more secure, and scalable hosting solutions to their clients, all while maintaining full control over their infrastructure.
A step forward in reseller hosting alternatives
We’ve previously compared a few noteworthy reseller hosting services, including Asura Hosting, Scala Hosting, and Reseller Club, each with their own strengths. CloudShield, however, brings something fresh to the table with advanced features that often come at a premium elsewhere. NameHero includes these without additional costs, making it an intriguing alternative for those looking for more than just standard hosting packages.
Each plan also comes with enhanced security through Imunify360, an integrated malware scanning system, and CloudLinux for optimal resource management, ensuring each client is isolated in their own environment. These features, combined with LiteSpeed Web Server and cPanel, offer resellers a powerful toolkit for managing multiple clients efficiently.
It’s great to see that NameHero includes commercial-grade software in its packages at no extra cost. For many, this makes it a more affordable option when starting a hosting business, as it eliminates the need for additional expenses like software licenses or system administrators—especially considering that the hosting is fully managed by NameHero’s own team. Plus, the promotional pricing is quite attractive.
However, looking at the long-term perspective, if you plan to scale and run multiple instances, it might actually be more cost-effective to purchase the licenses that NameHero relies on separately. Bulk discounts and the ability to negotiate pricing over a longer-term relationship could make this a more economical choice in the future.
