I've been looking at the account types and am a little confused as to which I should go for ... Let me explain, over the years I have picked up various web sites when working in a computer shop (a local computer shop) these sites have hardly any visitors (about 250 a month at the most each - Yes, 250 not 250,000) They have no ASP and no streaming media etc ... just sites advertising local shops and some charities and sports hobby sites - I probably do not have more than 1gb transfer of traffic per year including all sites (I do have over 100 domains from 1 particular client that have been 'parked' since 1999 that have never been activated a well) ... Yes, I do charge out these sites at £25.00 per year (the active ones ...not the parked) + domain fees (£10) ... Increasingly my customers are seeing adverts for hosting from £1.99 a month from a very 'FAST' - 'HOST' (my host) and asking why they pay more ... It's more or less impossible on these terms to continue to operate.

My question is this ... Am I classed as a reseller ?? and if so what would the terms of my proposed account be ??

I want to host about 15-20 sites (with absolute minimal traffic) no asp or special services and park 95+ domains ...

I don't want to brand myself as a webhost company

I just want to host these sites as easily as possible, and at less cost, than I have since 1999 !!

If you are hosting other people's web sites, then yes you would be classified as a reseller.  In that case, you wouldn't be able to use the Basic, Business or Windows hosting plans but you would be perfect for the Reseller, VPS or Dedicated hosting plans.
