Hey Friends,

I have read all the threads and want to thanks all the person who has posted in the thread for sharing their information.

My first query is:
1) I am getting a re-seller plan at a very cheap rate. I want to ask you that do I have to sell the space to other person or can use it to host my single website without anybody knowing? Or the hosting company will ask me to buy my own server?

2) What are the drawbacks of hosting a website on a re-seller plan?

Thanks in advance

Once you rich that I think that you will need to move to the VPS at least to get more independence.

I think that support related issues. Do not forget to ask web hosting company regarding the support for the custiomers you will have under your reseller account.
