Hello, might check out my reply to this previous post to get a better example and explanation on how the reseller hosting plan works.  If you have any other questions after checking that out please feel free to let us know here and we'd be happy to help.

Here is my opinion on this matter...

When I first became a reseller, you resold a plan (I forget what it was called but it wasn't called "The Basic Plan") that was the same plan anyone off the street could buy. I think this has changed. When I first saw the upgrades to the Basic Plan, I thought that this is what I would be reselling but I guess that isn't true  .

Then I thought about it. The people I am marketing to are small businesses. Businesses who don't really need a lot of disk space or bandwidth. 90% of my customers will never use more than 100MB let alone a gig. What they really need is someone to design and setup their web site without having to worry about how to do it. That is where I come in.

If they are shopping around and see plans offering gigs and gigs of disk and bandwidth and perceive a better value, I explain to them how much space they are really going to use and if they insist I tell them to go for it. I can still support them and offer my value added services (that's where the real money is anyways). I just won't make anything on the web hosting. Hell, I can't make much anyways with hosting plans going for $5-$6 a month. Of course if the customer really needs that kind of space, I wouldn't sell them my plan (it would be nice if I could) but in all likelihood anyone needing those resources would be better off on a dedicated server or maybe a VPS plan.

And that's all I have to say about that
