I am trying to create a business for website and graphic design. I would also like to offer webhosting to clients so it's a package deal. I do not plan on specializing in hosting. Would a reseller pacakage (like lunarpages and hostgator offers) be the best way for this. If so, is there anyone out ther that provides hosting this way and what are the pros and cons.

www.asmallorange.com +$5 to any packages = able to resell. Hostgator is really for massive reselling, $25/month is alittle high for what you want to do.

I would go for the Small Package + Reselling. Don't forget you have to buy the domain name, unless your customer wants a subdomain.

Do not go with a company that just sells hosting. when you are reseller you need to serve your own customers. When a host don't care customers will chew on your head. So you need to negotiate with the host you might choose.

Otherwise you can go for affiliate acount. This way you'll take responcibility off you.

Semi-Dedicated/Reseller plans are great for managing multiple sites or large sites. My host specializes in larger 5+GB plans like this but they limit the number of resellers per server to 2-4. Plus they have awesome support and security.

And what's the web address and name of your web host?
