I'm a free lance designer and I've been sitting on some extra disk and bandwidth for several months now. I have about a dozen sites on my server and I want to sell off excess space.
Would it make sense for me to resell my space in chunks?
I was thinking of creating a 10 domain, 20 domain, and 50 domain reseller packs as plans. This would much easier for me to bill. However, in my poking around, I mostly see more pay as you go reseller plans.
What do you all think is the best way to go about this?
Also, what tools do you all use to track bandwidth your resellers use?
thanks!

If you do decide to resell, just break your disk space into 1 or 2 GB blocks. You did not mention how much bandwidth you have so it is hard to advise you.

I just figured if I have all this space I might as well make some extra money with it....

Hosting a free kind people for free for a little bit of advertising may also go down well. ie... a popular forum or site.
