I wouldn't recommend going cheap to start out. If you are really serious about getting into reselling and start a hosting company, spend a little more to get quality service. Not saying that HostGator does not provide quality services, just saying you may want to look into a non-overselling company that provides a better service than quantity for your budget. In the end there will be less headaches and your customers will be much happier.

I think that you do not need to look for the cheapest one. I think that the most reliable must be an option for you. But your ammount of money you are going to spent per month - more then enough for good one.

i say start with a decent reseller hosting, then upgrade to vps and then to dedicated server.

To what extent are you going to rely on your host's support? If the answer is "a lot", then you shouldn't talk about cheap reselling options. But I don't think that Hostgator's reseller deals are cheap.
You can also look into
http://hostww.net/inner.php?id=reseller3&plan=reseller3 with simple reseller setup control panel branding.
http://www.ivhosting.com/ multiple domain reselling plans, free web site templates.

Hello,
I would suggest you to spend more for getting a good reliable start at web hosting.
A cheap host also providing cheap service. If you are looking for a shared account from Hostgator, it may be success because they have their own position in web hosting industry.
There is no option for your success as a reseller if you are not providing good uptime and support. Dont forget you will get for what you pay .

I believet that you will be able to find plenty of cheap reseller offers. Other question how stable will they be?

The most important you may need to look is their support quality. Price is the second matter. Not all cheap hosting have cheap services / bad quality support. Some of them are good.

Sorry, I would recommend against HostGator. The big boys oversell, huge. It works this way, they offer 100000GB space and XX Terabytes bandwidth, for a cheap price. It's marketing model and it works. Their aim to attract the new customer.

But you should not fall for this, choose a realistic offer, which is cheap, and does not oversell.

thanks to all,

i don't think hostgator is overselling reseller hosting, as they offer 24gb /250gb bandwidth for 300$ yearly.

I will not have many user, just my me, 2 friends and some clients with many small and low traffic sites.

If any other big company, like hostgator, lunarpages or bluehost, has a cheaper/smaller reselling hosting like 5gb / 100gb bandwith for me it will be enough.
But dreamhost has no reseller plan, lunarpages' reseller has 1gb space and hostgator looks a bit above my needs.

I see Utropicmedia.com reseller plans often mentioned, definitely not cheap, including CPU level monitoring, feature-rich plans able to meet the demands of a big clients' audience (Tom cat, Perl, Ruby on Rails).

I agree that the big boys do oversell a lot. maximum support and uptime are the keys to look for.

I'd mention reseller solutions from Ahosting.biz, ResellerZoom.com and ServerPoint.com. Guess you may choose from them that plan that will mmet youor needs. This companies provide them a lot with in-house support and their flexible system of discounts looks good too.

If might be wise to make a thread in the Web Hosting Requests here and seeing what you can find.
Most hosts around there do not oversell, and offer fantastic support.

If you are doing reseller, dont go with cheapest. You are risking not just your own site but your customers sites and your reputation as well.

if you want to start with something small, checkout hostingmatters.com. They charge you based on the domains you added. It is a good company and you pay according to the sites you host.
