Hi,

I just got a new dedicated server and wanted to start appointing resellers but I don't know much about how reselling programme works.

What sort of resell package that usually the webhost offer to reseller that is attractive and both sides makes money too?

What sort of support the webhost do? How about the resellers?

How many resellers do you actually need for each servers?

Sorry for asking all the basic questions. :)

Well, I'd look through this forum and see what hosts are recommended when people ask about good reseller programs. Then I'd try to figure out what about them people like so much.

Well said Chicken.

I think you need to go through the forums, explore some different hosting sites and find out for yourself what is out there. It will take some time and effort to come up with a really good one.

Another approach would be to find some people looking for reseller accounts and talk to them individually, then they can tell you what they want, and maybe you con work something out.

Hope this helps.
Mike.

That's a good idea, the only danger I can see with that is that a potential reseller will probably want more than would be profitable for the host.

I think it might work better to go look at what models are in place and profitable at other hosts

just my $.02
