What would YOU do for a resellers plan? We've had one in effect now for a long time, but as the market sags it's not hard to find fly by night companies promising the moon.
What sounds like an interesting package for a reseller ?

should this thread be in the resellers forum....

I hope i understood your question right.....Any Plan must include very fast knowledgeable 24*7 support (best option), Good Uptime & high amount of bandwidth in the ratio of 1:8 through 1:10 DS/BW be nice......and all the standard features in cpanel/fantastico be great as well.......good pricing is need as well....anyways...

Good Luck

If it works and you can use it to support your customers then its good. I've not used Hsphere but I expect it to be less "intresting" to support than cpanel

Oh! I used CPanel as an example becuase thats what i am using...don't have experience with the one your refering to but thats still not bad option.....I would strongly pitch support is the biggest thing to me...you do your best to resolve every issue everytime.....Word Mouth will bring lots of customers....From the reviews in WHT what i can say is CPanel seems to be very easy to use but again thats just a general statement not knowing anything about your users skill level not to mention lack of experience with Hsphere.....

I would also recomend....again it depends on your business model but still consider this suggestion although i know it means costing you more.....

Reworking your website.....or getting a template design.....no matter how good you are as company.....sometimes More of an 'eye appeal is buy appeal'


Good Luck

30TB of space? Thats a heck of a lot of hard drives and servers..... 30,000gb/200gb (hard drive) = 150 hard drives....

Nice, except I wouldn't want to foot the bill for that many empty servers..

Hehe, spread the servers out over 2-3 locations, and offer multi location remote backup services. You can easily charge a premium.

Sounds great and I will be looking into this, but I wouldnt use all of them, just 3 or 4 servers for it untill I was sure that it would be profitable.
