Reseller Accounts - 09-02-2003, 11:56 AM

My Web Star has reseller packages starting at $ 49.00 per year.

Reseller accounts are great to start out, it is in fact they way we started. The problem with choosing a reseller provider is the fact that there are alot of "rip offs" out there. Two to definately stay away from are Web Hosting Factory, and InterOptics Networks. We were ripped off by both of these firms and had all our data destroyed and they never answer e-mail. After reasearching these companies you'll find that they have a bad reputation, selling mainly on EbaY and if you do a whois on them you'll find they sell until they run into the inevitable selling much more space than they actually have and the servers crash. They simply move on with your money open a new domain and start over.

There is not much good in finding a "good deal" if you have to buy several "good deals" each year your customers WILL NOT Approve of being moved or down for days at a time. This was the primary reason we built our own Network Operations Center and Internet Backbone connections.

Make sure you choose wisely or it could be your doom in the hosting business, ask questions and demand honesty from your reseller provider.

Don't know much about wilddomains.com but 99.0 per year, what is the charge per domain you register? We recommend either a domain reseller account with either godaddy.com or mediawiz.biz MediaWiz is an overseas company but offers wholeasale registrations at $ 8.99 per year and you can set your own resell rates. Hands Down Godaddy.com is the best, but if you want to start with little investment then choose MedaiWiz.

You should also look to partner with companies that can compliment your offerings without infringing on your business. My Web Star is looking for resellers for our hosting services and our Dial Up Access. My Web Star markets Dial Up Access for only $ 9.50 per month and pays $ 5.00 per sign up you generate. Since you are not selling dial-up access you maximize your return on the customer without additional cost.

Hope this helps and if we can be of further assistance send us an email or visit us online.
