I'm doing this for myself and for the rest of the people browsing this board who is interested.

I've listed a few requirements of what you need. Please make changes to this list or add to it, thanks. The following are a few requirements of what you need if you're becoming a web host reseller:


Web Reseller Host
» This is a no-brainer. :rolleyes:

Company brand / Website
» Obviously.

Customer Support Team
» If possible.

SSL Certificate
» Would this be needed if you're going to use a merchant account from 2checkout.com, Authorize.net, etc?

Merchant Account
» If I stand corrected, this is the place where online CC payments take place? If using Authorize.net, which solution should I use for customers to use a 128-bit encrypted order form via my website (WebLink?)?

Billing Software
» Used for mantaining web hosting billing. CC Invoices, etc.

Incorporate Your Business
» See this thread for info: http://webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=43905&highlight=incorporate
» I've also heard that you can go to: bizfilings.com and incorporate your business easily there... Any feedback on this?


Please feel free to submit any revisions to this, comments, feedback, etc... Thanks! :)

Mods: Can this be moved to the "Running a Web Host Biz" thread? Thanks. :)
