Does anyone have any experience in reselling hosting or any other services/products on the internet? How much time does it take and can you make a profit?

I'm thinking of maybe buying 10gb & 100gb bandwith splitting it up and just running a small hosting company.

Maybe like:

100mb
1 GB Bandwith
$1 per a month

200mb
2 GB Bandwith
$2 per a month

500mb
5 GB Bandwith
$5 per a month

Any ideas?

I inquired about this before and I realised that the market is so flooded that you will really have to work hard to ensure success. The problem is that you will need a great control panel, good support, and flawless reliability.

Besides, those hosting plans an incredibly limited. Lets say a person's page gets hit for an average of 5k per second. That would take up atleast 12gb a month. For $10 a month I get 2gb of storage and 50gb of bandwidth. Plus professional support and good reliability. The only downside is that their email server and their control panel sucks.

Talk to VE and he can tell you what it's like.

Yeah I know what you mean, I'm having second thoughts now. I'd only make like $30 profit a month, I could just find a job and make that money 2 times a day. You have 1&1? 1&1 doesn't use cpanel and they don't offer any support for forums and most php scripts, pretty gay.

Made a request on this forum just to see how much it is, http://www.freewebspace.net/forums/show ... hp?t=66453

It's like $20 a month, and I would never find enough people to make a big profit. What other ways are there to make good money?

I have the 1and1 linux business package. I can run my own php but their control panel is terrible. It looks like it is just a request system and that you have to wait for a real person to make your changes. Some things take up to 30 minutes to apply.

Yeah I still have 1&1 package I got for free, I'm using it now to host a forum. It's pretty stable thou, I asked them the other day if they supported IPB and they sent me like 3 emails. First one to tell me that I submited a questions, then the acctual person emailed me then they sent me a survey to rate the performance.
