I have looked into the reseller program several times and have allways settled back into my aff program because the reseller does not seem to capture what i need.  


What usually happens when i sell a website build for a client is that if they dont have hosting i will suggest we do a conference call with LP and set it up, that way they get to be involved in the decision and i get credit..  I will be honest i really dont trust that i will get credit with a customer  online setup by clicking on a banner ( i just have never trusted such- there are too any variables that can happen and i loose the credit), sorry but i prefer the conference call.  Plus i know the customer will get the latest rates without me having to guess what they are.

Anyway moving on - as a customer oriented person i would like to simply appear to offer the hosting for them but there are some downsides for me and im hoping this post will clear them up...

I do not want to purchase blocks of website domains and then hope to sell them.
I want an easy way to get the full total price for a plan easily (including the extras such as restore, privacy all that) in which i can just tell the customer how much it will be, he will pay me and i will call lp and set it up...
But doing it that way i dont get credit for the referral because im the one calling, so im screwed there.

I also want a way of being able to bill the customer but again i am not a big company, we are on a very tight budget and after reading the plans for the reseller they seem to be more designed for the larger and establised web site firms.

Bottom line is i want the ability for my customer to focus on building their business and streamline this as me as their total web contact without it breaking my bank in the process.

UPDATE-- My apologies, i just noticed the reseller forum i guess i should have posted this there, you may move if you like. sorry about that.
