Are there any good reseller programs where the main company does the billing? Im running into a problem in terms of billing clients....I dont have a regular credit card my CC is my ATM card Id have to get some start up capitol inorder to resell...because the CC accepting places Ive looked dont pay you right away.

Any help would be great:)

It sounds like what you may be looking for is a referral program, not a reseller program. You may want to take a look at virtualis.com or a similar program... Because I am not aware of any true "reseller" programs that allow the host to bill your clients.

Dana,

Most non-merchant account based credit card processors age transactions for 30 days before issuing a check. I would recommend you look into getting a standard credit card. We use an American Express Corporate Optima card for most of our business expenses (both Internet and other). It is nice to be able to pay almost all of the bills with one check at the end of each month.

Best regards,

Dana,

I agree with Brian. One of the reasons that reseller programs exist is to little the burden on the "main" hosting company. By lowering their effort they can pass on discounted prices to the reseller. If you look to a referral program make sure that they will send you a check. Some referral programs provide credit only and if you don't host with them it really does not do you much good.

Good luck finding what you need.

Dana,

If you have not done so already, you may want to talk with Annette. Perhaps she would be willing to work something out with you. My company does not have any official program, but we have worked out special arrangements with some of our customers. I am sure Hosting Matters would do the same.

Best regards,
