Question about Resellers Plans

Well Im all new to the "resellers" side. Im wondering say I bought a resellers hosting plan. When i sell hosting do i get to keep the money from subscriptions? or does that go to the person hosting me?
Thnaks in advance

You keep 100% of what you sell

Thanks for the help. Im now offically going to start a hosting company! thanks again.

Goodluck, its actually hard work starting one up you will see

There are two types of reseller plans (figuratively speaking):

• Active Reseller
The leasing/rental of hosting resources from a higher powered entity, which is used to generate a regular income for you and your business. You manage the reseller account for yourself while the company manage the server in which your account is being hosted on.

• Affiliate/Reseller
Selling for a company via your own control panel, or link referral, or a product code entered via the ordering CP which lets the company know that you referred that order. Possible inclusion of a third party script onto your website, which gives you the complex of the admin of the orders, when in fact everything is faced towards the company which you are reselling for.

Hope that helps, and best of luck with your venture

Nothing more to say on this matter, Anthony pretty much summed it up. If you have a reseller account, you basically have the ability to offer private label hosting to anyone. What this means is, you can setup accounts for customers and charge them a fee (keeping 100% of what you earn) while the hosting provider maintains the server. Private label reseller accounts allow you to brand your own control panel and such

I warn you, it's not as easy as just "start a hosting company", it takes alot of hard work, hours and dedication. Start off slowly, get a few clients (friends or family) learn the ins and outs before you get serious and take on more than you can chew!

Good luck.

Now I know why i joined this forum, thanks for all the help, Im just loking for a second income. Hosting people is somthing i could possiblely do. Thank you all.

Pure, no offense intended, but do you even know what domain propagation is? Have you ever worked with cPanel/WHM(assuming that is the control panel you are using)? How are you planning on offering support to your clients?

Join hosting communities, read articles and tutorials before you even attempt to charging clients for your hosting services.

How do you plan to run a business when you can't even provide service during normal business hours?

Who said he can't? Who said he would be the one providing the service, he might hire support staff etc. I do agree, the hosting industry is very hard to crack but from what i'm gathering he just wants to host a few people here and there to make a few bucks and pick up some new skills....nothing wrong with that
