I have read the posts here and the fog has not lifted

I need advise!
I am checking into LP as a new host for several of my current clients, 8 for now, all with current websites and features such as cron jobs, mysql, zencart, etc. I manage all these accounts, and would like to receive some kind of commission for bringing the business to LP, maybe the affiliate program would be best, please advise. I would also like a no-hassle management system, and they each need their own ftp access, I do all the rest for them including email. They all have pre-paid domain names and hosting accounts now.
I would really like to speak to someone who would lead me through bringing my clients over, but oh well.....
From what I can gather here - it would be best to purchase basic/business account(s) and set up add-on domains for each of my clients - as needed. How are setting up each sites services done under one account? I mean do they each get cgi-bin, their own cron, their own mysql DB (if needed), their own stats.... stuff like that. I would really like to read some detail on these add-on domains - can someone direct me to all the details? And....
Is there any special support for transferring existing websites and their third-party install programs over to LP? I really don't want to start all over with new installs - yikes!
I'm very confused about the reseller program, seems the prices are higher (on the low numbers end) than the Basic, but the resources are much less - so the only way it would be of benefit to a developer such as myself would be if I had over 11 sites or more to set up at one time which would never grow past 1000mb - maybe someone could explain the best use of the reseller program, and is transferring a site from say basic to reseller or reseller to basic easily done?
Any advise and direction is appreciated - thank you
