| Posted by BonsaiRack, 11-26-2005, 01:24 PM | | While looking for hosting , I became interested to reselling, but I have a question.
How does reseller deal with reselling when it come to ressource. In startting such a business, you elaborate a plan, make a website, do som publicity. In your business plan, you decide, you'll offer 4 shared hosting plan and 3 reseller plan. How do you deal with deman. Surely you wont have demand at the beginning.
So, what do you do, you must certainly start with a small reseller package because you dont want to have to spend 30$/month , if you dont have client. I understand you can upgrade your package.
suppose you have a demand for your bigggest reseller package, you must upgrade you reseller plan, but the delay in having the ressource available with your host, and setting up your client account , can seem long ?
Please comments

The more a host "oversells" the more change there is of this being a problem.

This is often the difference between a host that charges $10 for 10gb of diskspace and a host that charges $50 for the same amount. The second host doesn't "need" to oversell just to pay their basic bills... and so they are more likely to have extra "room" (capacity) on your server for handling upgrades.
Welcome to the world of reselling.
You'll find that there is a HUGE variation in different plans and pricing. Just keep in mind that cheaper isn't always better. You already are beginning to understand why overselling is often a bad thing. It can be a good thing, too.. if used correctly. But many providers don't use overselling correctly, and they end up with big problems... and that directly effects YOU, the reseller who is stuck on an overloaded server.

Actually a good reseller, has the ability to ugprade a plan in their order
system, I know we have it in ours, simply go into the billing module, find the package you want to ugprade to and pay on the spot and instant upgrade..
