I studied a few more offers looking for a good reseller's plan trying to concentrate on these additional features.
ahosting.biz provides Modernbill, unlimited domains and subdomains, which isn't bad.
In a sense, this is what they are saying. By keeping your account with them, you are actually paying for the iPod over time.
However, when they give you an iPod for keeping your account with them, essentially yes...it's a "free" gift.

I know not everyone can do it, and there arent many who do, but we offer end user support, RVSiteBuilder, free help desk, free billing system, and other free software that would be usefull to any reseller. Of course it costs a bit more then your regular reseller, but you get a ton of extras so it evens out. Our clients seem to love this. The ones that are serious about their hosting business always choose our Pro Reseller plans. The ones that just want to have a free web hosting business go for the low end reseller we have though.

Valued added features are great. Notice how "value added" slipped in the mix. You will see alot of providers offering these features in their plans for a "small" fee. I would much rather have it bundled. The "do you want fries with that" doesn't really work that much these days. However, good features like Billing Software, End-User Support, SiteBuilders, Marketing Tools, etc would be lovely, but hosts can't add these to the lower value plans and should really be spread across the board.
