What are reseller plans? - 3/10/2002 22:04:08
What exactly is a reseller plan? Is this where you buy so much space on a server and sell some of your space to your clients or customers? If so, it sounds pretty good for a web designer. What is a good host with a reseller plan?

Thatt's what it is - you buy the space and resell as you wish.
It is a good idea for a web designer, but do be very careful about the one you choose. I wnet with a reseller who were good, reliable and helpful. Now they are not, all has changed. By the time it went really wrong I had over 50 sites with them - have you any idea of the hassle of moving 50 sites, physically moving all those files, changing the info in every cgi script, telling each client they have to re-setup all their email? It is nightmare country and I am in the middle of it.
Because of this I am loath to make any recommendations, what is good today may not be good in 6 months or a years time. Just read what they offer carefully, test their support with a few emails for more info and a call or two as well perhaps - it may not equate to the service after you buy but it will give you some idea. That said take a look at http://www.thehostfactory.com and http://www.datapipe.com/ for a start.
As I say, it is a good route for most designers but it is putting a lot of apples in one basket and caution is necessary.

Women and cats will do as they please. Men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

We had one of our biggest ISP's do a belly up. It left many of my clients "home-page less". As abbeyvet said, it's a nightmare. I am using AIT. Big, strong, secure!

Three strikes they're out. Thanks for the feedback guys. One other thing about AIT is the transparency. My clients won't even know the've been moved...
