When would you consider moving to a reseller?

[chicker]

Nowadays if you own more than 3 sites or one larger site it works out cheaper to buy a resseller account and use it to host your sites than buying seperate hosting accounts for each. With a reseller you can also start selling hosting or giving it away in compertitions with out any cost for you and if selling you could actually make a bit of profit.

So when would you consider moving onto a reseller, or would you prefer to stay with seperate accounts keeping each site completly seperate?

Well actually you can get almost as much space and bandwidth with an $8/mo hosting account as some of the resellers provide for almost $100/mo.

For example powweb.com has hosting for $8/mo with unlimited domains and 400GB/mo bandwidth. You also have a ton of space that comes with the account.

Yes I do agree with resllers. But always check whether they oversell or not. Also check out the servers location. Very important.

What is a decent rate for a reseller package? I guess i haven't had enough experience shopping through reseller packages.

from the moment that I created 2 websites, I moved to a reseller account because it was cheaper for me to manage many websites, plus the fact that I keep total control of my bandwidth/storage

Moving into reseller is better if you have enough people to help you work out your other website when it grow bigger and bigger

I've heard very, very bad things about Powweb and the problems they've had since they changed owners.

I would stick to a host that offers mid-range specs, hosts like that usually fit a ridiculous amount of customers onto a server.

Yeah...

Moving to a reseller account should be done when you feel it would be easier to manage your bandwidth/space.

You can get a small (1-3 gb) reseller package for about $5 per month from most hosts.

Since I dont offer reseller packages...
www.pristinehost.com has very nice stuff, so does www.mkoh.com
