Hi I'm researching different reseller plans and I have a few questions.  In your description listing you have up to 3gb, 100gb transfer etc.   I'm getting a bit confused with that since most reseller plans offer something like 50gb for up to 20sites with 100gb transfer total or something like that.  I gather its not the case here since 3gb is rather small to host numerous sites on.    I'm guessing that the 3gb is per account, so if someone orders from me via reseller thats what they would get right and I'd have the abilitity to control how much of the 3gbs they get and price accordingly? If so 3gb and 100gb transfer is the best I've seen so far and the price looks good, only thing is the 3 mysql database limit, install a CMS, a forum and ecommerce script your already out of databases, is there any plans on increasing this limit?   Finally, how does this work exactly, say someone comes to my site and wants hosting, does it go to you guys for credit card processing and setup(like a plan non-branded site with just a processing form to fillout) or do I have to set up my own payment processor through a 3rd party like paypal or someone and then set up my clients sites manually throught a control panel? Thats all!! thanks for any info.   

I'm glad I found this post, as I was almost persuaded to purchase a reseller account, and apparently I completely misunderstood the reseller account structure. I've been doing a bit of research on sites, and as you mentioned, the majority offer a large storage/transfer capacity for a larger price. I was excited upon finding Lunarpages, because it appeared that you offered multiple accounts for a smaller charge (and obviously smaller storage/transfer capacity).

The problem I face is that I need a host that can allow me to resell multiple accounts (each with own control panel, all features, etc) for a much reduced price. I don't need a larger storage/transfer, as at the moment I have very few sites to host, all of which would fit within the minimal 3gb/100gb. Additionally, I can't afford the higher-priced plans.

Would you consider offering multiple accounts (separate control panels, etc) within one main account for a set low price? I'd be fine with the 3gb/100gb limit if I could still have separate add-on domains within the account for no extra cost. I also host several non-profit sites (for free), so it would be a disadvantage to have to start paying extra for each additional account!

It now looks like Lunarpages doesn't currently offer this, but do you foresee doing so in anywhere in the near future? Or, do you know any other good host that does?

Thanks!

Lupine,

Thanks for your response. I understand now that's how lunarpages works. I'm disappointed, because I was looking to be able to re-sell accounts within the limits of the main account, NOT to resell separate accounts and have to pay additionally for each one. I really like what I see of lunarpages, but since you can't currently offer this, I have to move to another host that does.

Thanks,

matt

And the dedicated server option costs $99/mo instead of $8/mo. ;-) I found another host that can do this for $15/mo.
