hi all ... first of all tnx for this cool source ... i read lotsa articles/questions/discussions ... my site is hosted on voxtreme and i am very happy with it .. but my site is growing and it seems i have to pay extra fees for additional bandwith and may be space ... so i started to thinking on reseller plans ... with this way i can host my own site ... also i can host others to make money ... but i am a little confused ... cause it seems i cant make profit via being reseller or make it h2h ... i tried to make some plans but ermm ... also i see that i have to find a payment site like 2checkout ... which means extra money ... what u suggest guys? greetz erdem

It sounds like you're plan is just to try and pawn off your extra resources to people for money and I really hope you reconsider. Are you ready run your own business? This is a business here, and unless you're ready to be dedicated to it and your customers, I would say just find a new host if your fees are too high now. The only other thing I would suggest is find some friends, or other people looking for webspace who don't need you as support, and just want to share a larger package...and just divy up the cost between yourselves.

Yep, Chaps right. This you can do without 2checkout. Your friends can give you check / money order / cash to share your server expenses. However if you are considering running business, then you'll need to look beyond that

It can depend on the size of your sites. And the size of reseller account (disk space + bandwidth).

With reseller plans (at least most of them) you can host unlimited domains as long as you are within your space and bandwidth requirements Good luck on your venture

i'm in the same situation as erdem. For me, coz my friend asking me to help him find low cost but reliable hosting, so i think that may be i just get a reseller account at voxtreme, design some package to suit my friend, and try to get a few ppl to share it, then the whole thing can start running..... i dont mind lose some bucks as long as the business can start rolling.....and then will consider about online transaction. any comment? I'm currently planning low cost package using voxtreme, any can help?? thanks alot

i am currently normal user of voxtreme ... i contacted them about what they can offer us ... they can give us what exists in reseller plans lol ... also first supporter is the business owner, this means u as the reseller ... if u cant solve the problem vox staff will help you ... extra bandwith 4$/1gb if u think on buying 10 gb it will 3$/1gb uhmm i am thinking on starting it ... but i need the "roll the job" money ... as you can see there is a fee(s) to start the business ... greetz

If you need ideas ion plans, just surf to all the host's sites that you see on this foru,m. Plenty of ideas there. Don't try and be the cheapest, that's the main thing.

I have the cheap problem. I´m considering giving the best technical support as possible, but with low costs is something to consider. I see many still charging high rates for what they offer, but it seems they have old clients that don´t want to leave them. Don´t know for the starters.
