And some of that will help in answering your questions in this post. So go read that over.
On to your questions:
1. Would reseller hosting be as reliable as VPS?
Well, it depends on what you mean by "reliable". Since both are technically a type of shared hosting, there are potentials for abuse in either environment. (Yes, a VPS is shared. It still shares I/O and bandwidth, and sometimes CPU.)
I use or have used reseller hosting from companies like
EuroVPS,
Stream101, SpeedySparrow, Stablehost,
MDDHosting,
Hawkhost and others with no problems whatsoever. At the same time, I've used VPS from some of those same hosts -- and others, like Futurehosting,
Knownhost,
JaguarPC, etc -- and also have had no issues.
This is why selecting a good host can matter more than the type of hosting. At a good host, everything should work well. Good hosts also tend to offere only a few services they're good at -- not everything under the sun. It's the hosts that pretend to be experts at everything that you should avoid (myHosting.com is a good example of a host that makes me cringe).
2. And I really prefer having my own Cpanel
That would mean reseller or VPS. If VPS, you may have to buy the cPanel license extra, depending on the package offered by the hosts. If you've decided to leave
JaguarPC, then I'd instead look at Futurehosting or
Knownhost. Both have California locations that should do well for your Asian traffic and location.
3. And which Host is good for Reseller hosting?
Hawkhost, Stablehost and
MDD Hosting are all excellent.
- Stablehost is in Phoenix, which is essentially the west coast, so that may be a good choice for you.
- Hawkhost has datacenters in Singapore, so that's an added consideration.
- If you're worried about resource use, consider asking Stablehost for the price of a custom "enterprise reseller" account, and explain your situation -- i.e., that you want VPS-like resources, but need to have two separate cPanel logins. They may work with you on it.
