Seems to be a really bizzare host: https://bizarre-host.com/

Might be a reseller. What do all of you think?

I don't see the problem with them being a reseller. That is the point of reseller accounts to begin with..

Actually from the kind of design this site has, I get the feeling as if its some kid out there who has a reseller accont and wants to earn some pocket money. Like I dont think it would be a technically sound and performance-wise trustworthy company.
However a client of mine likes its pacakges and asked me to give him my opinion. I posted the link here to know what the others think of it.

it's definatly a reseller
The reverse IP shows that 227 other sites are hosted on the server and if they dont have enough profit to buy another design, a vB or IPB license (more professional in my opinion), and a better help desk (their using a free version), i will jump to the conclusion that they're a reseller.

nothing is wrong with resellers.. only if as long as they know how to manage their clients and give great support.

have you read reviews on them?

i think 1 GB / 25 GB for $13/month is a little over priced.

They are selling reseller hosting, i have seen web hosts with designs like that 227 sites on one server - sounds to me, server is overpacked.

The site goes to the-planet, http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/tracer...zarre-host.com

See https://bizarre-host.com/phpinfo.php

They are not reselling: xeonone.bizarre-host.com

Thank you all for posting here. What do you recommend. After looking at their prices, reviews and the pathetic design would you like buying hosting from them?

HostGator - Disc = 5gb/ Data = 75gb = 9.95$ month
Valcato - Disc = 1gb/ Data = 80gb = 8.50$ month
Bizarre-Host.com - Disc =1gb/ Data=25gb = 13$ month

now of course if support and reliablity comes correct, money isnt an issue, but the name or design arent convincing that they will even meet valcato or hostgator's standards

Test out there support, see how long they take to respond with a few different questions.
