| Honestly about 10-20 GB Space and 100-300 GB of Bandwidth, assuming you dont oversell too much.

| Thanks for the reply I was thinking about around the same specs as you listed. I would hate to oversell so I am also limiting how many sign ups each package can have before the package is taken offline.

| Is your budget monthly or yearly ?
if this is monthly then atleast 10GB disk space with 100Gb bw per month shall be standard and many service provider shall be able to offer you the same.

| Do you have any reseller packages in mind that you have found within your budget?

| That sounds reasonable yet still profitable to the seller.

| 10-20GB in the current market situation, if overselling is not allow, I don't think one can reasonably make any profits and even save some, to be able to expand.

| I'd say 10GB storage and 300GB transfer.

| There is nothing wrong with overselling. As a matter of fact you would be foolish not to. With 20GB and no overselling you can sell only 4 5GB plans. If all customers used less than 1GB space you can sell at least 20 plans.
YMMV

| I have to agree to a point. Overselling is a good thing, if done in a controlled and monitored way. People often confuse the words "oversold" and "overloaded".
I would advise you to avoid plans such as $10.00 for 500 GB of Storage as these often lead to trouble.
If overselling is done right, it is a good thing.

| If you don't need a billing system I think that budget is good. You won't get all those extra things big host offer but you will get a WHM account and 10-30gb space
|

| It depends, if you don't need billing system, you can get very good reseller using this ammount, about 500gb and unmetered bandwidth.
kind regards

| Thanks for all the, replies guys and gals..
I think some of you are misreading the topic this, reseller plan its not fire me. Im in the process of starting to offer reseller accounts to my clients with the hardware I have for a while now.

| Yeah, it's all about getting a post in, I don't think they misread, just that they didn't read.

| I'd compare against several known-good hosts.
For example, Stream101 has a $15 reseller plan that I'd say is reliable.

| Guilty as charged!

| Sorry for the off topic,but I really have to ask. You(any hosting company) is selling a client 5gb,what the client chooses to do with them it's his job.If he wanted 1gb he would pay for 1gb.What happens when he suddenly decides to use the allocated space? Isn't it best to allocate resources for the client? I find it somehow weird to be foolish for trying not to lie...

| Find your cost price,(server,backup solution,licenses)and start from there.

| I don't know if Hawk Host currently has any coupons but I have a recurring coupon that makes their most reasonable reseller play around $14. I get 15GB/150GB and the service is outstanding.

| How did you get this coupon?
|
| Posted by jmshap, 05-29-2012, 08:14 AM |
| Offers section of this website.

| Try and get a free clientexec license in there for your customers and unlimited account creation and make sure you allow overselling for your customers.
If you can get that $15 will be worth every cent to your customers.

| What type of server?
This is over looked by most people.
A 3 ghz Xeon CPU is quite expensive and few hosts use it.
Intel Xeon E7-8837 Eight-Core 2.67GHz goes for about $2,500
A server board takes two Xeon CPU's.
Some use a I7 or a single Xeon Workstation CPU
Most use a Xeon 2.26 ghz CPU which is around $230 ea.
2.26 ghz is slow.
Then again you have some using P4 servers which are quite old.
Which is best - the host that gives you a reasonable decent server
