Resell hosting with end-user support
Hi,
I am looking for a company who offers an integrated solution for reselling hosting, managing the billing and handling end-user support (so basically I do nothing else than sales questions, although even that could be outsourced). You might think this is lazy, but this should work perfect for me since hosting will be a side-business but not something I want to give away.
I know it can be done by choosing the parties seperately (reselling account, outsourced support, own billing account) etc. but I know of some who providing this all-in-one.
2 names come to mind, Wildwestdomains by Godaddy (offering wholesale pricing for domains and hosting, end-user support and the billing system) and Alabanza (hosting+support I believe).
Are there anymore of these companies?
Thanks!

What you're looking for is more like an advanced affiliate program. Resellerspanel.com is the only company that I can remember of, that offers what you seem to be looking for.

You may want to consider simply referring.
Most people I see requesting this (no offense), are simply greedy. They want to essentially be paid on a recurring basis, for performing a one time task (finding customers) and dont want the liability, or responsibility that makes webhosting a recurring, and profitable business (the upkeep, which is after all why it costs money after the initial setup fee and first month!).
Referral programs and agreements on the other hand are specifically structured for people who are notably not greedy, and simply want to be able to "sell" a product and be paid without worrying about what happens after that.Myles Loosley-Millman - admin@prioritycolo.com

I hope this makes my motives more clear to you.

Sorry, what I meant by "feed himself on it" was a reseller to financially support himself exclusively on his reseller business

Blikje, what do you mean when you say "managing the billing". You actually want the reseller hosting provider to bill your customers?

Yes, we do offer anonymous support to reseller end-users. Contact our sales team (available 24x7), they'd be able to help you with the remaining questions. it is of course incorrect to use WHT for pre-sales.
As far as billing goes, that can be completely automated by Hsphere (the reseller solution we use) as long as you take a merchant account from one of the supported providersinit.me - Build, Share & Embed
