Q'...
if I get a reseller account 5Gigs space/bandwith.
I get that much for my main site traffic/bandwith and that much to resell.
but can I resell from my main account space/bandwith?

so that I get a 5GIG space/bandwith plan and sell 9.5GIG space and 7-9 GIG bandwith... can I do that?

also, I have a power plan. If I start a reseller account, can I just add it to the power one? so that I still have my power plan space/bandwith but I can resell a smaller amount, can I do that?
in other words, If I but a reseller plan I buy say 10GIGS space/bandwith.
but half of it is for my reseller website, so I was wondering If I could use whatever part of the 10GIGS I actually buy to resell? thats a major Q' for me...

and here is another one:
DO I GET SSL? secure site, for the payments... I don't want to use paypal only...

Look at it this way...

You pay $220/yr for a Silver Reseller plan which will give you 3GB space, 30GB/mo bandwidth, etc. etc. You can host as many domains as you want, etc. etc.

As a "thank you gift" for choosing Surpass, they will give you a hosting account (similar to the ones listed here) of equivalent web space. The "freebie" is like a plan you are currently on; you can't host mutiple domains on that for free, right?

let me explain a liitle something for you (surpass might not like me telling you this).

the reason you are given another account as an extra is becuase the controll panel that they use makes 2 accoutns for resellers not just one automaticaly.

there is no way around this it is a function of whm, now this however doesnt stop them from making the "Bonus" account smaller I think there is a way around this.

as for it being your space it isnt its there's, you pay for a reseller account (example) with 2 gig hdd and 50 gis of bandwidth, thats what you paid for not the extra 2 gig and whatever bandwidth that is for you to use on you hosting account not share it between the customers you may have.

bottom line you got what you paid for

regards
