    Only you can decide how you want to price your plan against many other awardspace's resellers. You decide your company's future and direction. Do you intend to have your own office once your company has grown? Are the profits enough to cover for that? Will you be moving out of awardspace and host your customers in your own servers? These are the questions that should come in your mind. There are many cost factors to decide and its not wise to ask others how you should price your plan as they do not know your company financial but only yourself :)

    I wonder how much do you pay for that as provider. How much do you earn on each such kind package?

    I don't earn much on each package, but to be hounest I am fine with that because they also help provide some of the services. I am more looking to make people happy and have customers. I was thinking arround $3.15/month for that package. Does this sound fair to you guys? Would anyone consider buying it at that price? I have created the package, but if it is no good I will reconsider what I am going to make. It is now for sale on masterurls.com and it is under hosting as Medium Hosting Plan.

    Hmm... though I do not sure about how to price reseller plans, I would think it should be a dollar per month per domain for fixed bandwidth/space.

    Do not price it over 1$/ month. Do you offer cPanel or other panel ? on your homepage I see you do not seem to have your own servers.

    Well, the pricing seems to be good, however, the only recommendation from my side is to make sure that you have enough profit margins to run your business for a long time. If you keep your profit margins less in the beginning, you won't be able to continue and if somehow you continue, you'll work at a less profit margin in the future as well. Hence, you should make sure that you have enough profit margins with good quality services :)

    I wouldn't buy it for more than 1 Dollar - let's sya it clear I wouldn't buy it for 1 $, because there are tons of hosting plans that have better features and cost 3 $.
    Think about your features - disk and traffic space is very small. Which traget group do you want to impress?

    That actually sounds like a free hosting plan
