Thread: Hosting With Hosts That Are On Resellers?

Well this is something I've been thinking of lately, not to buy, but to sell. Since my network of websites are growing, so are my hosting limits.

I might buy a reseller package from Hostgator, and sell the bandwidth & space I'm not using to some friends I know (but not to the hole world). With that money, I could earn some money back off the hosting package and eventually when it gets bigger I might buy a VPS, after that dedicated server and than I might start a little hosting company.

But that will only be done in a few years, not in the first 3 months

Investing $200/month on a server when your just starting would be stupidity. Not all resellers are bad. But if a company offers you hosting below $20/year (They still make less profits!) will remain on the reseller forever. A company does needs funds to go ahead from a reseller to a dedicated server/Vps.
