:o
once i buy a reseller account from a webhost do i have to pay my webhost a monthly charge for my clients too. like i buy 1GB,25GB bandwidth.H-sphere CP, etc etc... for $35/mo from someguy.

i sell 100mb space to a client and allocate 100mb from my 1 gb and create an account for $7/mo.

in this sceanario do i have to pay any monthly charge or anything to my webhost for my client as well. i.e apart from $35/mo i don't have to pay for anything else right,
or
is it i have to pay some extra amount($5/mo) for each client website i add apart from the 35/mo

totally .:confused:

There are, basically two types of reseller programs.
One allows you to sell pre-configured plans. That is the host sells you a plan at a discounted price and you resell it for whatever (generally) price you fix.
The other, is where you purchase a large amount of diskspace and bandwidth, and divide it however you wish.

In your above scenerio; you are combining the two.

Rytha, i think ur confused about H-Sphere licencing..

I was also confused but Tracy from weberz.com explained me so i can understand.
They give 10 accounts free (accounts=billable customers=control panel users) for the $35/month ur referring.

Each of this account can have unlimited domains hosted.
Suppose i can host all my 15-20 domains using one account and my customer's 6 domains in the 2nd account. So now 8 accounts left which i can similarly use.

H-Sphere charges per user. So weberz.com gives 10 accounts free (absorbs the charges.. maybe ;) ) and after the 10th account u have to pay $4.95 one time for each new account.
This is a Setup Fee which H.Sphere charges. Since its not monthly so u get a small hole in ur pocket one time, and after the first month u enjoy ur regular profit :)

Hope this clarifies... and i hope i'm correct in explainig :stickout

Any more inputs... Tracy!.. if ur here :)
or u can email him tracy@weberz.com (to test also as he says his replies are fast! :D )
