    Hey everyone..Need a little help here. I'm interested in starting my own small reseller web hosting site..I'm not really sure how to go about doing this.

    Are there site's out there that allow free web hosting reselling? Maybe something where they control domain registration, payment invoices, setting up accounts..etc but where I run the site? Preferably one that offers templates or site layouts but I can have some access to add new pages or edit current pages?

    Any kind of help is appreciated I've never done something like this before. I understand the market is tough but I wanna give it a shot :)

    It is easy to start with reseller account by which you can create your own packages and prices and for support you need not to worry as most of the host providers take utmost care on this.

    If you don't have enough experience in server administration than you should not even think of starting web hosting business. As a matter of fact, reselling is becoming boring, and the hosting maintenance is very complicated and will require considerable investments, I would advise you to invest into less "painful" niche.

    Well, you could always offer free hosting.

    Back when I developed one of my free hosting domains, I was making $30/day with adsense in the first two weeks it was up. All you have to do is offer a good service, and get a few good links on toplist sites.

    I was starting to pull in 50,000 uniques a week. In the end, it killed my server, I didn't have anymore money to upgrade, and the project fell apart.

    So be sure you have good startup cash.
