What accounttype should I consider at HostGator?

    Hi guys,

    I own two domains; mail-maniac.com and business-web.org. Mail-Maniac is being hosted at Hostgator and Business-web is being hosted at one.com. I'm planning on transferring Business-web to hostgator as well within the near future to reduce costs.

    I have almost completed the Business-Web premium member section; An upgraded version of the free accounts, where no advertisements will be added to the website and the customer gets to link one domainname (instead of business-web.org/accounthere) to his/her account.

    There are two accounttypes at HostGator.com which allow to link more than one domain to the hostgator account.

    - HostGator Baby (Shared hosting) ; $9.95
    - HostGator Aluminum (Reseller hosting) ; $24.95

    My problem is; When adding domains from customers to my hosting account, it would technically make me a reseller. However, they won't use any of the offered reseller features since their domain would only link to a small index file with a (100% width by 100% height) html frameset linking to business-web.org/theiraccount. What HostGator account should I use? And am I allowed to use the Shared Hosting plan in this situation?

    I have tried to explain my problem as clearly as possible, please let me know if you need more info.

    Thx in advance!
