    I can get 3TB of Bandwidth Pool and 30GB for Disk Space at $25. Do you guys think it's a good hosting plan?

    It's for reseller business :) I could store up to 15 accounts charging $5 and I will still get enough profit monthly. I don't know you guys tell me :)

    Obviously that's overselling...
    Just ask yourself if you are going to use 3TB of bandwidth and $25 of disk space?
    If this is a shared hosting plan chances are there are items in the TOS that will prevent you from even reaching 10% of those limits (CPU load etc.)

    I can frankly tell you that this configuration is not even possible for a dedicated server 3TB of bandwidth cost at least 10x what you are paying not to mention others.

    I would say it is quite a lot of overselling, meaning that they really can't provide what they guarantee. So if you are hosting others, you need to prepare for downtimes etc as the server cant cope with the overloading. No point if you are serious into hosting. You will need a more reliable partner or get a server yourself.

    Well dotable.com has quite a good reputation. You can find more reviews at forums such as webhostingtalk for eg.

    I can tell you with experience that if you go with a company that promises more space and bandwidth but doesn't have a reputation that you will regret going with them. Try to stick with reputable companies for your reseller account.

    Can I get a list? Cause prices are a bit high...I only have $25 and I need to find clients before I make a move.

    If I sold it like this:
    500MB of Disk Space - $1
    100GB of Bandwidth -$2

    They can request has much has they want.

    Do you guys think it good?

    You're trying to find clients before you have a business, is pretty insane if you ask me. You make your business, then you go find them :p

    $25 isn't enough to be in the web hosting business either. Its a saturated market, and you're not really changing the industry by launching a reseller hosting service with only $25.

    Well I don't want to throw myself to hell without a hole to get there. I want all the information and the risks etc.
    I got an offer for 5 years. 2.5 TB DS and 30 TB B/W for just $8 monthly. Is that better?

    I have seen unlimited bandwidth and unlimited disk space for similar pricing.
    Frankly this is far gross overselling.
