I've used Amxhost.com resellers plan for over a year now and have been overall pretty happy with it. They were having some uptime problems for a while early on, but for the past couple of months it has been no problems. There are some good reseller plans around. Amxhost offers some pretty good ones.

I understand that you said you needed to learn, although worrying about purchasing a reseller, vps, or dedicated server should be the least of your worries. Spend some time here, you'll definitely pick up a lot of new information.

Moved to Reseller Hosting Forum.

A reseller account is what web hosts often start out with. You can read about reseller accounts in this forum.

You'll also learn a lot in Running a Web Hosting Business (http://webhostingtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=6).

With a typical reseller account, you can sell shared hosting accounts. The provider you choose manages the server, security, etc..

With a VPS and dedicated server, if you choose an unmanaged provider, you'll have to learn all about managing a server, from security, to software and kernel updates, and more.
