Hi all, i want to hear your opinions about reseller accounts.
I am confused with the reseller packages offered by many hosting companies... Usually their $$ /GB are much more expensive than their shared hosting plans. In my understanding, if we buy something to sell it again then we should buy it at lower price so that we still can make profit when we resell the product. But with hosting reseller accounts, it seems that the prices for resellers are much more expensive that makes it impossible to compete with themselves.
Just a quick example:
Hostgator offers shared hosting package "Hatchling" with 350,000mb for $4.95 per month while their their "Aluminum" reseller hosting package cost $24.95 a month for 24,000mb. If I resell a hosting service that I buy from them then obviously I will not be able to compete with them.
Or do I miss something here? Thank you for your opinions.
