Who here resells hosting? I'm thinking that in courting a number of (very) small businesses to develop small (a few MB) sites for them it would be nice to be able to offer reasonable-but-reliable web hosting. Reselling might be an option.

But I don't see any reselling deals that would be as cost-effective as just getting an account with DH and then hosting each of my clients through the one account that I would get from DH. If I understand their policies right, I can include "UNLIMITED" domains within the GB that they lease to me. Is there fine print that says I have to *own* the domain hosted?

Anyone here have experience with MULTIPLE sites at DH? If I'm going to have *clients'* sites hosted there, I want serious reliability. ¿Thoughts?

I'm not a expert, but I do use DreamHost and love them. Over a year and never a glitch. I currently have 3 domains running under my account, two of which I own, the other belongs to a friend. My friend has access to everything I do, except for billing, which only I handle since the account is in my name. You can set up parameters for users and what they can and can't access.

They have awesome support, quick upgrades to the latest releases and just about anything a pro user <which I'm not> would want. Anytime I've had a question, no matter how simple or complicated, I get quick response and clear answers.

Big thumbs up from me for sure.
