It's a service the company I work for set up also. It has worked well for us as people can upgrade and add on extras as needed instead of paying the larger amount.
I agree... it is a good tool to help some startups!!
This is a great idea. I know that when I used a reseller account, if I wanted more, I had to purchase a bigger account. I'd rather this type so I could just add bandwidth or just add disk space, whichever I needed.
A long time ago I started with a pay as you go reseller - buying small chunks of disk / band etc. It was great then as you can get started for little money. However with the advent of crazy reseller pricing (10gb disk for £10 month) - I'm not convinced this would now be a sound business idea.
I think this is a great deal.
At one time (8 years ago) we were paying $2000+/mo for hosting. costs.
Today things are different:
I don't understand how a new hosting company could not not afford to pay (Edited). for reseller hosting. Which allows them to host not only their site .. but to host 100's of their customers for the one low price.
So what I am saying we offer you your own hosting company for only $29/mo (edit/for example).
Being a reseller is completely anonymous allowing you to act as an independent hosting company.
Some companies limited the # of domains you are allowed to host on each of there plans. (Edited)
