No. I make $5 when someone signs up for a plan, they pay by the year so its 5/year per customer...

The pay sucks, im trying to find a new reseller once I can devote more time to the marketing aspect of it.

Gator: my customers are fairly happy with it for the most part. I haven't actually emailed all of them to find out, I try to stay out of the way of the customer and let my reseller do their job. (they handle all customer support with trained server staff...stuff I have no idea about.)

i like it, cant wait till i have more time on my hands to start something different with a new reseller.

rob, you will definitely make a lot more money going with just about ANY other reseller plan.

Or just outright being an affiliate or sales rep for them...in which case you would get monthly.

$5 per year...wow...you need a lot to get a decent income

look around..there are a ton of em out there

If you are tempted by free web hosts and have started thinking that you will be able to save a few extra dollars by choosing a free hosting service, you are making a huge mistake. Because there are many disadvantages associated with free web hosting services. As the saying goes "there is nothing as a free lunch in this world", the free web hosting services cover their costs in an analogous manner. They advertise on your web site and you have no control over the kind of advertising and where it appears on your web site.

Ok, This is past experience talking. Firstly web hosting is a hugely saturated market. There are millions of companies offering web hosting. Secondly, Everyone wants to go with the big names. I've learned that people only go with well known companies and barely give the little guys a bite. One time i went on a forum and saw a guy offering free web hosting only to find another guy that said he would rather pay a professional company then get free hosting from him. Lastly if your going to go through with this, Get the following:

1. Catchy name
2. Professional Web layout

and if you don't want to drop a load of money on possible success I suggest trying out a reseller and grow from there.

I agree strongly with logic.
