    Hello,

    I'm about to start a cPanel Hosting Business which clients can buy a reseller account for $9.99 per month and host as many sites as they want. They will also receive a free website which they can advertise their hosting business.

    What I'd like to know is - does anyone think this is a good idea? I think the fact I'm offering a free website will help, but what do you think?

    All comments much appreciated.

    Best Regards
    Mark Sherman BSc

    offering unlimited reseller accounts is always a bad idea.

    Sorry to say but this has been done and been done and been done.

    HOWEVER! This doesn't mean your business can not succeed. The only way I see being successful in a web hosting business such as yours is to advertising in a special niche. Not even a target market per say, but rather where you look for customers is key. If you look for them on this forum I doubt you'd be very profitable. If you look for them locally and even partner with local web designers you may have a better chance.

    Just go on webhostingtalk.com and you'll find many, many, many guys/gals like you having a similar business. Sorry to say this market is very saturated.
