So it only charges you ONE time per a client? That's it?
No more for support tickets, or other things?

You will not be charged for the billing solution, helpdesk, etc - as these are included with hsphere.

Hmm, I'm curious onto why you say this Idcdc. I intially thouht, with my little knowledge of course, that it would be "reseller accounts>dedicated server. I'd agree with that, but then you suggest 1 reseller acount, 2 reseller accounts, 3 reseller accounts, etc...
Don't you also mean just upgrading reseller acount number 1 to better support your needs instead of getting reseller acount numbers 2,3,4, etc... then then dedicated servers? What's the upside of your suggestion and the downside of mine?
Thanks,

It didn't, and won't make it on to our cluster, as there clearly has been little or no research done before releasing it.

Andrew (CartikaHosting) is right, you can get reseller accounts from different providers just so that in case something happens with one of them, it doesn't affect your whole business.
My reasoning for getting more reseller accounts was that a reseller account can only be so big (depending on the host you choose to go with). The OP's initial question was putting a heavy weight on the total cost of having a dedicated server, and it was from that point of view that I wrote my post. The business has to be large enough to easily afford those costs, and IMO that would usually mean using more than a single reseller account (unless some other solution can be worked out with the reseller hosting provider, of course).
But that's just me and my way of seeing things. I put a lot of weight on reasonable margins and financial stability, and most likely would move to a dedicated when it would actually cut costs in some way.

I'd personally go for a dedicated server per each 3 reseller accounts. With the extra capital to work with you can purchase higher-end dedicated servers that come with 24x7 monitoring and full management :-). Full management is *best* way to go for a dedicated server if you're migrating from resellers.
