Has anyone bought a Reseller Package to run their own domain name/web hosting company?

Is it a money maker?
Are there any tax issues?

It's one of the hardest markets to get your foot in.  There are such competitive prices out there, and it's a heavily saturated market.  I would advise most people against it!

I use to use: 
 
There support is very good and quick.
 
There are tax issues if you make so much per year, but I can't remember what it is. (CHECK WITH SOMEONE ELSE)
 
I suppose you can make money from it. (I couldn't be botherd in the end). The best thing to do first is to setup up some packages so that you make back the money that you pay.
 
For Example:
Light Package x 10 = reseller hosting price
Corporate Package x 5 = reseller hosting price

I you sell hosting, there's not a lot of room to compete just based upon price alone. You need a business model that includes other services that have value to people in your target markets.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

best advise , being a web developer (one of my jobs Confused)

i have a company, and under that i do web desvelopement, hosting, network contracts, computer problems etc. but we also sell hosting, as it makes sense as having hosting for my local clients i oppened it out to the WWW, but not my main angle.

i have some ideas in the pipeline for the hosting that will give features not usually found with a hosting plan, but could be very useful.

always remember dont over sell to much , and always give a good service

I develop technology-based business solutions. Hosting is something I do as an additional service to my customers, not as a primary business function.

Saw this hat rack earlier today...

A lot of people start small technical businesses because they can wear one of the hats but the business ultimately fails because all the hats don't fit or they can't wear more than one at a time.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.
