1.FFMPEG
2.Private Nameservers
3.Dedicated IPs
4.Competitive Pricing
5.Informative Website
6.Professionalism

also

I refuse to pay $5 for an IP as I know what they cost and whats involved.

If your website is not working or unprofessional forget it, that reflects on you and your service.

I know most Hosts offering Reseller Hosting also offer Dedicated IPs but you need to list that on your web page somewhere and their cost!

We are in transition from dedicated to collocating our own servers. It will be several months before our servers are in place. So I am looking for a temporary home. This will just be for our own sites and several of our best clients. The data center we are collocating with has taken on the lions share of our clients temporarily, but on a very limited scale. We need versatility for our own site and several clients sites

If you are or are aware of a reseller that meets these requirements please make recommendation

Thanks in advance

What is your monthly budget for this account? Since it is temporary, I guess a migration is due at some point. So the control panel in this case will be relevant. Which control panel do you require?

No migration is necessary as our own sites are pretty small and we can pull over our clients sites once setup.

We are looking for WHM/cpanel and prefer to be able to issue/manage our own SSLs

Monthly Budget

$15-$30

Thanks

What are the resources you & your clients' sites are using?

Disk Space for the few sites about 1-4 gigs
Bandwidth nominal I'm Guessing about 20,000-80,000 megs

Several of the sites are under development and are not even live.

The one FFMPEG site I have is just a demo site at this point so its not a large bandwidth hog.

We have our own WHMCS Licenses so no client exec or WHMCS is necessary

Also if we exceed any package, We have no problem with upgrading to the next level.

You should take a look at the Reseller offers section on WHT, that is a very reasonable budget and I am sure you will find a great offer.

Yes you have got a reasonable requirement with a pretty good budget. Regarding the dedicated IPs, as you said a couple of IPs will be free with the reseller account and if you need more you have to pay 1-2 dollars normally.

Reasonable requirements and budget. Shouldn't be too hard to find a host to suit your temporary needs. Who charges $5 for an IP anyways? :P

There are several in the reseller area that want $5 for an IP. I ran into one host that wanted $2 for the IP that's fine, but they wanted 7 dollars for setup for each IP :-)

needless to say I laughed at that one

Really, setup for $7? That's just stealing! :P
