Reseller

How hard is it to setup and run a reseller?? Me and a friend of mine want to buy one.

Using a reseller account?
Easy.

Running a hosting business?
Not so easy.

Maybe he wants it just for setting up multiple accounts.

**Evolution-8** · August 10th, 2005, 2:09 AM

Nope, me and my friend want to run a hosting company.

Heh. There is so much competition, you'll have to try _REALLY_ hard to get customers. And if you do anything wrong - pow! You're dead: http://www.dslreports.com/faq/10454

The web hosting market has so much competition - seems every other person is running a hosting "business" these days (I use quotes because most are crap)

If you want it to go we'll, you'll have to do it right.. and have a lot of luck.

Good luck.

If you already have your contacts (and customers) ... then it could be easy. Otherwise I think it's very hard.
