Reseller hosting is a good thing to provide additional services for your 
customers and extra income for you. I did it for a while, then set up my 
own ISP geared mainly for resellers. Then I set up an affilates program 
for evolt.org to provide funds for supporting evolt.org. Support links 
in the footer of each list email will give you some info.

The original site linked in the support pages is ugly, outdated and 
currently in redesign. It does work and will get you direct access to me 
and my support staff. We answer the phone during business hours (most of 
the time after hours), and provide support to our reseller's customers 
as well as our reseller's if approved.

We do a lot things (customized per reseller) that most hosting providers 
won't do because we are customer oriented. I  am a hands on provider 
that developes sites and does support every day, so I know what you face 
with your customers and work with you to get what you need working.

Contact me off list for more information and/or discussion of your needs.
