Hello Guys, Emm.... I Am Just Confused Over So Many Hosts That Offer Reseller Plans. I Am Really interested in getting a reseller account and start working towards hosting business. thanks alot to those guys who replied to me.... it do helps whether in big or small.

I Know that there are alot of people doing hosting business. Can i know that what experiences that you all had with your customer & your reseller host.

by the way, i guess there is really nothing call unlimited to what i have read in this forum. somehow and somewhere that there will be a good & cheap host which give me enough space & bandwidth. so that i no need to worry about extra charges...

I need to know how i really start the ball rolling..... hear from you guys soon......

[in need of getting more help from experience people]

Pretty much every company in here and on the net has a Reseller Program, if its not on their site, they might not really focus on that, it comes down to what you are looking for, pricing etc...

When we started in hosting, we started with Simplenet (haha..i laugh now) and was ripped off by them $100, and then "Fat Cows" and finally hit my niche with Interspeed Network, I was acually their largest reseller and at one point had half their customer base.

Good Luck

DaRiUs,

Come up with a list of features you are looking for then start doing some research on potential hosts that offer what you are looking for. When you have a list of say 15 or 20 , research each one by visiting their sites and comparing their plans. After that search for reviews here and other places (Note: Reviews are sometimes paid for so be careful!!) After you have your initial list narrowed down to like 5 or so. Post a thread here asking for opinions. This should get you started.

Good Luck

Definately make a list of what things you want as a reseller. Also decide how much you want get involved with things.

If you want to do it all top to bottom then get a reseller plan where you have to setup the accounts, bill, support etc. Or look at a dedicated server.

OTOH, if you want to do the minimal many hosts now offer an agent plan where you sell their plans and get a reoccuring commission from the sales.

Both ways have pros and cons so investigate first.

Jaiem, I think you are right both got thier pro & cons...

But i like it the fact that i am allocating space, bandwidth, email, & etc... to my customers. but so far i have came across a few of them. but most of it are in UK. then thier prices are quite steep.... (cos it is in UK Pounds. The exchange rate is about 2.5 - 3 for Singapore Dollars) If the plan cost £50 it will be $150 Singapore Dollars. By the way, i am living in Singapore.

DigitalXWeb, So far i have only a few of it in mind.

1) venturesonline - well, i have to convert to a reseller account first. then i will start selling thier plans at my own price & at a reseller discount price from them. (kinda helping them to sell thier plans) :=)

2) donhost - so far this is one of the best which i like. Clear Cut!!! Unlimited & Unlimited..... well, i know that there is really nothing unlimited in this real world. But this "unlimited" word just give a few percent more assure with them. without worrying of extra usage & extra billing.... (Bottomline, sad to say that they limit thier bandwidth to 50GB. & not sure whether they support doamins with com.sg extensions.) Price is quite steep too.....

3) northsky (previous name... not sure of thier current one ) - well, i would like to give out free hosting to people in the cyber world. But i don't understand what they mean in the stuff they give to thier paid plans...
do i still earn money with them??? 50% of advertising space??? i pay and then still get advertisments??? and not mine??

Anymore Ideas Or Host To Intro???

Thanks....

You are correct....
There is no such thing as "unlimited". Look for the qualifying statement!

Cheers!;)
