Does anyone know any host offering reseller plans that will allow me to have resellers of my own?
Not Alabanza - they're too rich for my blood, but Alabanza-based would be okay...

My inbox will gladly accept offers from hosts :)

Thats easy.. Just make your own plans. :)

Newbie question #1: Where/how? :)

I think that you will find most people do not want to resell for a reseller. You might be better off going with your own dedicated or co-located server and setting up plans for your own reseller program that way. VDI.net seems to offer a service similar to Alabanza with what I hear is a great control panel. I've also read that automated billing etc will be coming soon. However, I have also read in several other places that it might be best to use someone who has servers at VDI for better support--like ultraspeedusa.com and site5.com. I hear that both are very good. Furthermore, you might also want to take a look at Catalog.com as I hear they are planning something similar to Alabanza and VDI sometime in the near future. Unfortunately I can't personally recommend anyone as I have yet to try out any of these companies. So...What do the pros think?

Oh, and here are a few Alabanza based ones:
WebAuthorities.com (But I think he is based with both Alabanza and ultraspeedusa.com who is with VDI.net)
hostrocket.com
hostmatters.com
webhostit.com
I've read these are good companies, but then again I can't personally recommend them since I haven't used any of them.
Also, I believe there is another thread somewhere on this board that lists a lot of other Alabanza folks. However, many hosts are moving away from Alabanza due to their recent price increase...or something like that.

I believe that
http://www.centralinfo.net provide this facility.

I don't really like nt hosting :(

Thanks for your contribution anyway :)

Kymber, I see that you've been doing your share of homework too :)

:) Just spending way too much time online.

Kymber is correct we do both Alabanza and Ultraspeedusa, though we are now going away from Alabanza for most of the reasons listed in other posts in this forum.

A side note, Ultraspeedusa is a good choice because not only do they do Linux, but they also support NT and Cobalt RaQ's, where Alabanza only does Linux.

Just couldn't resist sharing the news.

Web Host It has officially parted ways with Alabanza!

I am not too sure if they exist out there. I mean, of course you can have your own resellers, but like Alabanza hosts and many other hosts, their servers are not set up to allow you run your own little reseller operation with your control panel, I may be wrong though. You can run a reseller operation if you figure out how to manage and account for your reseller's accounts independent of Alabanza's CP. I will like to know if you ever find a company that will let you have your own resellers - please post a message on here if you do find one.
