It all depends on how much to sell your hosting. It differs with individuals.

I also doubt anyone will tell you their income or profit margin. Companies don't have to release the info to the public (although when tax time comes, IRS has ways to find out) - if you create good packages and market them properly, you should have no problem making a good amount of profit.

This depends on a number of variable which should all be addressed in your business plan. We've had resellers most likely profiting close to $1000/mo in the past

Actually Its very little amount for me when i was reselling. but there is many people how makes more the 10K a months form hosting reseller. its mainly work for local business. If you have a small web design firm or any internet related office you can sell the reseller hosting to your clients. But in the Internet its very hard to sell now a Days.

I highly doubt this.
Just say a hosting package $10/month then 10K per month would be 1000 customers.
At least a dedicated support staff with salary 50K/year is required to provide support for 1000 customers unless using outsource support (IMO not reliable to secure the 10K income per month)
Not to say 1000 customers will not fit in a reseller account.

If it's very hard to sell for you then it's hard to sell for them as well. The economy works similarly everywhere so I doubt someone would be making $10k in income monthly from a simple reseller hosting business. As premium said above, you need a good amount of staff and a lot of time to it and in the end your expenses may end up negating your income bringing your profit down big time.

You can certainly get $10k income if you have a few hundred reseller accounts around the world and you can manage everything properly but it's highly unlikely. Anyone telling you they have one reseller account and makes $10k a month is lying to your face. With $10k a month, you could rent an office space and start selling colocation space.

I also have the feeling that nobody is going to tell you the profit.. And if you search similar threads like this majority of answers tell you this.

It totally depends upon the business plan and niche. I know of many folks earning anywhere from a few dollars up into the thousands. As already mentioned, you'll be hard pressed to get reliable and specific information on a forum, but I can assure you I know of many folks who do well in the reseller arena. Like any other business, it's totally what you make of it.

I agree with ariyes reseller hosting is basically to market in local business and as an extra value added service to the services which company is already providing

We didn't make a big cash flow for 4 months. We broke even starting on month 3.

It' really depends on how much you put into the business.
Local clients are where we get 90% of our sales.
