You may find that after a reseller gets 20-30 accounts under their belt, they switch to leasing a dedicated server. This might flog the results of your poll a bit, just F.Y.I.

There are a lot of rich resellers here :) If you were earning $2-10k per month, you'd think you could afford your own server/s ? ;)

AlaskanWolf, that is really impressive :) What happened then, with 300 clients, wouldnt you have moved to you own server? Or did ya give up and sell your company ? :D

The reseller market is a tought one, especially as competitive as the hosting market is today. You are doing good if you are earning 1.5 to 2k a month as a reseller.

Reselling was a tease for me.

Once you run your own servers, that's when the real business begins. :-)

It all depends on your personal goals and objectives and the time you want to invest. Reselling is perfect for a lot of people, and with good partners I think it is possible to make some good money.

But when I was a reseller myself, my problem was finding good host, until I decided to get my own servers :)

Very interesting results,

I have started recently and I have a lot of problem for finding customers.

Speciallyas you may have seen here competition between hosts have decreased prices and making profit is very hard.

Would you please suggest some ways for finding customers :) (And in fact give me some of your market share by telling them !!!! :D )
