It's the 300GB of bandwidth that will probably be hard to find.

300GB of bandwidth, it's ok, but you will need to raise your budget. With that amount, you will get trouble soon

Why is that? I could raise my budget accordingly after I got sign ups.

You may find good reseller hosting from ahosting.biz. but your budget is really very low for a decent reselling.

If you're selling hosting plans based on that reseller plan (i.e. based on that pricing) you'll quickly run into problems.
Even if we assume that your provider can actually honour the full scope of that reseller plan at those prices, and provide you with a decent service (both of which are questionable in my opinion!) - you will find that as you grow and require things like VPS, dedicated server etc. you cannot afford to continue offering such pricing.
Ok, fair enough - you could probably increase your pricing as you grow so that you can afford to purchase your VPS etc. but obviously customers don't tend to stick around when you increase your prices, and the kind of customer you'll attract at pricing reflecting your provider's reseller plan (i.e. your overheads) are unlikely to have the budget to afford (or otherwise be willing to pay) sustainable hosting prices.
In other words, I don't see how you're not setting yourself up for a fall here?
My advice would be to consider your next move carefully - always know the price of the next step on the ladder...
How much will it cost to take a VPS plan with your preferred control panel? Server management? How many x accounts do you think you can reasonably fit on that VPS before needing something bigger etc.?
If you know that (in combination with your current overheads) you can price your offerings to be competitive AND sustainable.
Just a hint - the best (reseller) hosting != cheapest.

ryukenden, I dare to recommend you to get dedicated server if you want so much of bandwidth to resell, or at least VPS. You may finf 300Gb at $20, you may even find that at $10, the question is quality, as your own clients may question it.
I second the recommended above ahosting.biz reselling plans.

I found a reseller that I have been using and I have made alot of money with
and best of all they dont charge to resell
they give you your own free website and let you choose from about 20 different layouts and styles
I Made $262 from 3 customers when they chose my lowest package.
That was in my first week
and another great thing about this reseller is that if you sign up another reseller under you then you will get 10% of what he makes on top of your sales and no that doesnt take away 10% from the guy below you
You can even create your own hosting packages and control the prices
You keep getting paid from the same customers every time they renew
My website is www.dancomhosting.com
If you sign up for the reseller program please click the link on my website when you sign up so the website knows I referred you please.
My reseller link is near the top of my webpage and is in Bold blue letters!
One of the reseller packages you can sell is
15gb space and 300gb bandwidth
I hope this helps

I am using GoDaddy reseller. No disk space and bandwith limited.
The storefront is instant ready after you sign up. Also you get
a free website tonignt and SSL Certificate. GoDaddy takes care
of all the support. The limited is you can't customize the product.
Now I can sell reseller, domain, web hosting, SSL Certificate, etc.

300Gb at $20? Doubt you could find that...
[edited]
ok, I visited the dancomhosting.com and they actually provide 300GB at $9,9 (unbelievable!) and onthespothosting.net with 250Gb at $19.95.
Found no dancomhosting reviews, while you can find some threads about OTSH on WHT, just one of these.
Just make sure the host has been in business for at least 4-5 years to make sure he can afford selling this bandwidth at this money.

I second it, by getting a cheap VPS oк semidedicated plan you spare yourself lots of headache.
Look at gowebsite.com, appolohosting.com plans. The difference btw reselling and VPS isn't that big, but you'll be more comfortable.

Although I agree that reseller plans and reselling hosting based on a VPS are quite similar in terms of features / prices, I would urge a little caution before jumping head-long into a VPS.
With shared / reseller hosting plans, you have a simple control panel (hopefully!) and just control everything you want through there - your hosting provider has to keep your server working right (hopefully they do a good job of that?), and you just use your control panel to deal with any admin tasks etc.
A VPS gives you a lot more control, a lot more flexibility, and (potentially) improved reliability. However, it's worth noting that the majority of VPS plans on the market are unmanaged which means you need to be comfortable with server administration, and have the time available to take care of it.
It varies what hosting providers will offer you in terms of support (free/paid), and monitoring tools etc. to make this easier.
Even amongst those who offer managed VPS plans, there is massive variation in exactly what that management actually covers - and how pro-active they are about it all.
So there can be a big difference between reseller and VPS plans, although it is possible to find providers who offer the best of both worlds (i.e. improved flexibility of a VPS, but hands-off "care-free" hosting as provided by reseller plans). The important thing to consider if you're going down this route is to check where your chosen provider sits on these issues so that you know exactly what kind of service to expect.
