Perhaps someone can tell me where to find a host that will provide me with a free reseller plan?

I don't think those exist. It is going far enough to offer free shared hosting accounts, but I don't think people would be crazy enough to offer free reseller plans. Offering free reseller plans would just be a bad idea. For one, free hosts would most likely require you to have an ad on each of your web pages, so as a reseller, you would have to require each of your customers to have an ad of another hosting company. (Doesn't make too much sense does it? :eek: )

well, what would be in it for the company providing the bandwidth, storage, power, upkeep of machinery, et al ?

All these things cost money....and pop-ups dont really pay as far as I know.

See, it's kind of against the whole idea of a R E S E L L E R plan to give it away free...

It's called a re-SELL-er plan because it was SOLD to someone and they are selling it AGAIN, hence the RE in RE-seller.

Maybe if someone's giving them away free they would just call them seller accounts instead...

I'm sure any hosting company could give away free reseller plans. The `maintenance fee` may cost, though.

Hey, wait a minute now, so you're saying I'll get a free Lamborghini, but you don't mention gas money. Are you including gas money or are you trying to scam me like the other Lamborghini giver awayers out there?

(This is not an offer - It's not available and wasn't intended as advertising - It is definitely a joke :D

FREE Humour :D

I know where you can get one. I will trade you the information, if you tell me a BMW auto dealership that will give me a free BMW.

I *think* what the poster was trying to imply is "a reseller doesn't have to spend a dime, let say a month," he only pays the master host from what the resellers client ordered.

Then that would be an affiliate not a reseller. Actually, let's not get into the semantics of things. If the original poster would please explain what type of account they are talking about.

A free reseller plan wouldnt be all that bad of an Idea. If he were willing to pay the host for each of his clients.

I think, that's what he meant. :)

If that's the case, then actually there are several who offer that kind of account. :)

Actually, someone did ask me. It was for a good cause. Really.

And I had to say no. It was for good cause. Really.

You may be interested in registering as a Sales Agent for another web host business, or perhaps join an affiliate program at cj.com.

I have one for ya
********** offers a free reseller account - free as in you pay for the year up front so you dont pay each month - so its FREE.

and of course their support is free also - non existent - but free

moral of the story - if its free - there is a catch so stay away

instead get a real but affordable plan with support that is fast - you will need that more than anything if you really want to be a reseller:cartman:

They're con man/woman. They play fraud. IF anyone know how to close them out, please do so, before another victim fall in. Sad to say I'm one of the victim :bawling:

They take your money, and close down the server after a few months. During the few months their server ALWAYS DOWN for hours or days. The joke is, their own website hosted in one of the freewebhosting (found up after my subscription).:bawling:
