I also frequent the forum at servethehome.com, it's a good resource for that sort of thing...
@jon.a, why so against reselling? There are many white label services that are designed for this exact thing (I think Bluehost gets some mentions around here).
I've always been a huge fan of offering something of value at a low price point to small businesses...$10/month hits the bullseye in my opinion.Hi folks, I am in the research phase.
Currently I am offering web design services to my clients. A few of them subscribed to a monthly plan of $10-$15/mo for hosting and usual maintenance.
Now my concern is, can I really advertise it and make it into a real service?

Thanks,
