Hello everyone, Im thinking of getting a hosting reseller acct, I would like to be able to resell hosting and would like to get some ideas from other people.
I really dont know much about hosting only that i have a bunch of my own sites hosted.

I want to be able to resell an unlimited # of accts
space from 50mb to 10gig
bw from 1 gig to 100 gig

can someone give me some links to check places out and maybe explain how it works.

thanks,
jay

Dedicated Servers

I use HostDime and have for 3 years. Absolutely Phenomenal Support.

Starter package for Dedicated Server is $120 a month for

1200 Gigs Up and 1200 Down in Transfer
Dual 80 Gig Hard Drives on Fast Servers - Go to Site for Specs.
Free Name Servers Included.
Easy Migration of Data
WHM included in every package

One of the cheapest if not the cheapest around. The servers are FULLY MANAGED by them. 27/7 . I'm telling you they are awesome. They also offer 24 hour Phone Support English Speaking which is unusual. They are in Miami. [email protected] ask for Manny he is the guy. Tell him I sent you , he is great to deal with.

Dedicated is the only true way to go, I wouldnt start a Hosting site based on a Reseller account from a company that is renting a server themselves, dont use a middle man.

If you ever have problems you will need to more or less wait on 2 people, your reseller and their server supplier. You wont be able to properly support your clients IMHO.

I have a small reseller account, I pay $10/month I would never ever host any domains besides my own on that server.

To sum it up, dont be a reseller of a reseller...

well I have about 6 sites I want to host with it, also some family member sites (small sites) plus maybe sell just a few to people i know, so maybe a total of 12-15 sites.
im not looking to run a business from it, just keep all my sites in the same place, keep my families sites with me, and some friends sites.
maybe just sell 4 or 5, just enough to cover half the costs of the plan.

Then for that a reseller should suit you fine then. I can give you some sites that I have tried before and I was really satisfied with.

varhosting.net is also very good, especially if you are new to hosting biz. They have the best support I have ever seen. They also support your customres.
