I would like to get a reseller account to host my own web sites(4) and do hosting for customers I design web pages for.

This seems to be a good way to run my sites and as a selling point to my web design business.

Can anyone point me to good reliable sources on doing this?

I am not looking to purchase accounts now so done tell me about good hosts just the process and where to learn. Will do this within the next year probably in the 6-12 month span.

thanks roy

For learning about web host reselling in general, you're probably at the best spot on the Net right here Roy. Since you've got some time to read, keep an eye on what happens here, and ask plenty of questions.

Good luck.

Two links you may find especially helpful are: http://www.resellerconnection.com/ and http://thewhir.com/reseller/ - TheWhir.com really has a good list of 'getting started' articles....

Yep. Get involved, ask questions, have a few laughs. It's all here at WHT!! :D

Thanks Deb that is a good start.

When I searched the web I got so many webhosting businesses and not information.

Thanks for the other site.

Rossman while Aussie Bob may sound like an advertisement. You seem to be everywhere on these forums. Or is there more than one of you.

I also see you on Anandtech's forums.
