Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Reseller Hosting : This is what I want.. How do I get it..

[newbizhelp]

Hi everybody... WARNING.. Newbie in Action

This is what I do... I settup new business (were talking small, small, office/home office) with business services that they will probably use for the first six months.. maybey a year.. These people want an internet presense, but don't have the bucks to support it... I help them find a solution...

This is what I want: (1) I want to set something up were one of two things can happen... a.) I can set them up with FREE web hosting (must be GOOD) & then get paid when they buy the "better" service. (How much are we looking at here $ wise?)
b.) I want to be able to offer the person who can afford it, really inexspensive add free,e-mail catch-all,etc. hosting. I want to be able to "buy" it at wholesale, & then sell it at my "retail" price... I don't know all the ins & outs of resseling hosting, & would rather only have to basically take the orders.. I want it pretty automated in other words (I will bill if I have to..) I know that most of you guys probably do the whole kit & kaboodle when you ressell hosting.. but I don't have the time for that.. basically I offer my services for free.. so the only place I make money is resseling the product I refer them too....

Thanks Ahead of Time guys!!!

... but I don't 100% understand what you want. Maybe you could explain it to us a little more clearly

Why not get yourself a 'reseller account' - one that you can add as many domains as you like to. Obviously this is a buisness for you, so you should be able to afford an account.

When your customers want a website, you just give them part of your account space, and if you charge them or not, it is up to you. Many 'resller accounts' come with control panels, which should make the whole process quite easy for you.

O.K. Heres my question.. If someone offerd me a resseller oppt. that will fit about 10 five page websites with a flash intro (lets just say ten to make it simple) & they are going to charge me $10 a month (not true, but to keep it simple) My question is..
If the first month I had 10 new five page websites hosted.. I would pay $10 . The second month if I got 10 MORE five page websites hosted, would it still be $10, or would it now jump to $20 since I have a TOTAL of 20 five page accounts hosted?
I know you are probably lauphing histaricly, but humor me=)

Basically Im trying to find the cheapes way to offer my small business clients free hosting for a year... Thanks

I thought I was going crazy or was having the worst case of deja-vu ever, but no, I keep seeing the same question over and over.

That's depend of what kind of reseller package do you buy.
If you buy bulk space and bandwidth package, if you don't go beyond the space limits, or BW, you don't have to pay more.
