Hosting Resller Packages

[Oneeyedvic]

From the new year, I am going to be designing websites for friends and small local businesses. I plan to offer a budget website for £125 per year and so is aimed very much at businesses who can't afford a 'proper' company.

I only do it as a hobby (I am already self employed so will be doing this through the books) but can offer a decent service.

I was going to let customers sort out their own hosting, but a friend of mine got talking and said I should look at a reseller package.

Obviously there are lots available, but am looking for personal recommendations - something around £20 a month would be ideal but maybe a little more if needed.

Should point out that I have used one.com for a couple of sites and am so disappointed with the speed of accessing their site!

I use zen for most of my hosting.

seems a little expensive (£40 a month) - not sure I need / want to spend that much.

www.123-reg.co.uk hosts my many sites.

thanks Squarebear - do you host them individually or en masse?

[squarebear]

I host them all under the one domain of square-bear.co.uk. I have sites from that such as http://www.ditloids.co.uk which will point to http://www.square-bea...oids/ditloid_home.htm and so on.

That way, I only need pay for one lot of domain space and just pay £6 for 2 years for the URL name. So although it appears that I have loads of sites, I really only pay for one.

I meant to say that it costs me around £17 a month with 123reg but I get 60Gb of bandwidth for that which is enough for me.
