Khun, Well done on your find!

Khun is the Man! Great job in pointing that out Khun. If you are going to resell web hosting at least have the proffessionalism to create your own design and not use a standard public template. So many of hosting sites look the same because they get their templates from templatemonster.com Another bit of advice is to change your custom design at least once a year to keep it fresh and test it with your customers (ask for their feedback on usability issues).

Sometimes even a simple design change can affect sales tremendously! For example, in our current design at http://www.1PlanHost.com we originally had a picture of a woman and some staff standing in front of servers (see http://www.1planhost.com/domains.asp ) for that photo. The goal was to present a proffessional serious about hosting look. However, sales started dropping off and after a month's run, we changed to the current picture and ad campaign on our homepage that emphasizes our theme of "What downtime should be..." relax, we have you covered with our 100% Uptime Guarantee and sales picked back up the same day.

Don't copy other web sites, be unique and come up with your own design and ad campaign. Get your staff in your office for a brainstorming session and you can come up with some really nice creative campaigns.

Best Wishes for a .Net Success!

Thank you Khun.. Well done for your search.

BTW, may I ask anyone about the difference of reseller hosting and Private label services? it sounds to me that private label services in all in one package for you to start doing business. AM I right?

I think in the past 2 years the reseller hosting was quite popular especially after the economy went bad in 2001. People got out off the job and starting their own businesses. But now, not quite sure. It seemed like more people know how to run the servers and they tend to rent a dedicated server to start off the business.

What do you think? What's the trend of reseller?

If you are serious about hosting, I'll advise to rent a dedicated server and hire skilled system administrator to manage it. This might look as an expensive way to start, but it will save you a lot of trouble down the road. Most companies offering reseller accounts have to oversell like crazy, just to make a tiny profit. How can somebody offer unlimited domains for $20 month? Think about it.

Private label reselling is often interpreted two ways
1. You are given a template site from the wholesale hosting company and then you modify that template in various ways to put your name on the template verses your providers. WildWestDomains.com is an excellent example of this type (for domain registrations).

OR

2. You are provided with your own set of DNS server names (ns1.yourdomain.com & ns2.yourdomain.com) and evidence of the wholesale provider's existance is practically invisible to the normal public view. You create your own web site design but use either your own backend or your providers back end.

The best of the two options is the second one since it provides even more unique branding possibilities. Getting a managed dedicated server is preffered for those who are not familiar with running web servers.
