Well keep in mind, I'm not selling Reseller accounts. Just hosting accounts. I was with HostGator for 2 years with my webhosting and the monthly cost was only 14.95/mo. My hosting is to compete with the big providers but pay the same amount for month-to-month service rather than pre-pay for a year or more of service. Again, I'm offering the hosting for a one-time $10 setup. I'm sure that anyone signing up from here will be completely satisfied with the hosting.

The FTP accounts can be set to secure or normal.

The mysql server is running on an internal IP. by saying "Remote MySQL" I am referring to the SQL databases running on a separate machine on the same internal network, to improve loading times.

I appreciate your concern, but I spent months researching my reseller provider before signing up. They have the same security practices and server integrity as some of the other big providers (HostGator, IXWebhosting, 1and1) but for a more affordable cost on my end.
