linksky reseller
I am starting a web design business and am thinking about setting up a resller plan so i can eventually offer webhosting also. I don't have many clients at the moment so I'm not expecting much in terms of what the reller package offers.
I was planning on Linksky standard reseller package to start out with and then upgrade once i get more clients.
Can Anyone tell me if this the way to go or if they have a better solution.

I would avoid like the plage to any host offering "Unmetered bandwidth"
But that's just me.█ Shared Web Hosting - Reseller Hosting - Semi-Dedicated Servers - SolusVM/XEN VPS

Is not economical feasible to offer Unmeted Bandwidth for $4.95 to start.
Do you know what are your needs in space and bandwidth? do you have any preference on the control panel or OS?█ Shared Web Hosting - Reseller Hosting - Semi-Dedicated Servers - SolusVM/XEN VPS

Now, assuming that the host does care about its customers, it would have to intervene when the cases are extreme, which would in fact mean metering data transfer usage and determine who's are the culprits.
Then again, the server would probably be overloaded way before it maxes its network connectivity, so it really comes down to how much CPU your can pay for.
"Unmetered" in a shared hosting environment is basically just another word for "unlimited", though certainly not as misleading. Still, I believe most people around here would prefer an "old fashioned" limited host, even if only for ethics related reasons.

Not at all.
Unmetered simply means that you don't get charged for additional bandwidth usage. Think of a Taxi-cab "meter"...
If on the very rare occasion that a particular account is #1 following our AUP, and #2 is starting to have even the slightest impact on other accounts sharing the same server, we just move the account to another (usually newer and more powerful) less populated server. Multi-processor Linux servers that are properly configured can handle a lot these days as you probably know.
For the hosts offering unmetered service as we do, maintaining servers with excellent response and uptime is just a matter of good backend account management.
