Can I host IRC clients or server?

Most of the hosting provider do not allow IRC at this time.

If my customer need a special module installed, can I do that?

It will depend on your hosting provider.
In this case, you can choose vps hosting.

Can I upgrade my reseller account?

Reseller plans can be upgraded according to the increase in resource consumption. You can even get your own dedicated server for reseller hosting purposes if required.

VPS is much the same level with dedicated server, so you can create reseller accounts. However, if you are not familiar with VPS/server, you should be careful when choosing a VPS.

I agree with you, crish. I believe it's important to double check your preferred VPS before registering at them. basically we have to check if we are compatible with this hosting to avoid problems in the end.

Somewhat I agree with you, but honestly you will not suffer any problem with vps server, because web host provide fully managed vps solutions. So in case you stuck with any issue web host's support department will be there to assist you.

And FYI vps offer similar environment like dedicated server where you get a root access to your account and able to reboot your vps server independently. And with control panel you can easily manage your clients activities. Those days are now gone when people think it's difficult to use vps. The latest technological innovations in the hosting world made everything simple to use.

Yeah, however some support sucks, sometimes the package is very good but the support isn't. for me, aside from the package hosting, I wanted also to check if support is nice. I've encountered some emailing you ticket supports and their response to you would take a million years.

Yes, it is very important that you choose a hosting company that offers you 24/7 technical support. If the prices are reasonable and packed with features and if the user is unable to receive any support when required, then the package isn't anymore useful.

While choosing a hosting provider, it might be possible that you will have to compromise on some factors but if most of the requirements are fulfilled, you should go ahead with the order.
