I am looking into buying your Surpass Reseller plan. I only have one qualm (everything else looks outstanding). I am on a really tight budget, so the $10/m is a little worrysome to me. I dont know how fast I could get buyers, so I want to know if there is any way to get a custom plan? Only thing I need is reduced price for reduced bandwidth and space.

Space needed: 2gb would be best, 1.5 at least
Bandwidth needed: 20gb would be best, 15 at least
Asked price: $5.99-$6.99/month

I don't think Surpass will do a custom plan. The only "custom" plan is getting your own dedicated server but that's definitely expensive. However, for this type of info, you might want to contact Surpass directly at sales[at]surpasshosting.com or presales[at]surpasshosting.com.

Perhaps you should check out Cats Hosting - they're a reseller here on Surpass and might have a cheaper plan more inline with what you want. My understanding of Surpass's policy is that their plans are more than adequately priced for what you get. ($10 being out of you budget...honestly I'd start rethinking that budget if you want to start a hosting company!)

Anyhoo - http://cats-hosting.com.

Im not worried about being out of budget, im worried about my funds drying up before I get enough business to make the money back.

Plus I am a bit worried about reselling from a reseller, just seems like its prone to accidents.

Probably less prone than you think.

Cats has a dedicated server, which is the only way to offer reseller plans. Surpass dedicated servers are fully managed, meaning that they take care of it as if it were their own.

The biggest danger hosting in a shared environment is having so many neighbors. My guess is that Cats' server isn't nearly as loaded as the ones that Surpass offers reseller hosting on. Chances are you'd actually fare better on his box, plus he's much more likely to deal with you on a custom plan.
