Helm- http://www.webhostautomation.com includes built-in billing software so you may want to look for a host that offers this controlpanel. Note: Helm runs on Windows only, I wasn't sure if you wanted Linux or Windows based hosting.

Best of Luck in your search.

if you are running Windows, take a look at Helm or H-Sphere. Both include built-in billing software
if you need Linux, you can take a look at ClientExec for starting, or Modernbill.
Your budget is good enough. I remember I have started with a $12/month reseller package Do you have any idea about prefered control panel?

I would suggest looking around the offers section to see what is out there. Get a list a providers and search for reviews on them. Your budget sounds like its pretty much right on target for your request.

For $40/month you can probably get a VPS at places like powervps.com

Offering High Quality Dedicated Servers.

Well maybe, but I honestly think that a mid sized reseller would be fine. I mean, the resources that a VPS provides probably will not be utilized that much, IMO.

A VPS would probably be a waste of money if you are just starting out. A good reliable company offering a mid sized Reseller with room to grow as you do would be great for you. You may want to confide in google.com and wht

A couple that come to mind are.
Jaguar PC.
Host Gator
Reseller Zoom
I don't use either (I Use VPS at Knownhost) but I have seen good reviews from all here at WHT just do a search and read up on a company that you are interested in. Take a look in the offers section as well located here If you see a particular special that you like search on that company as well. WHT has a wealth of information on many hosting companies.
Good luck in your search and do take your time and research as much as you can, you won't regret it.
