What are best reseller plans?
What are bes reseller plans or dedicated servers that can be used as reseller plans that offer like 99.9% uptime, good speed, good bandwidth, good space, and pretty much good everything. I planned on going with hostnexus.com but i am not 100% sure yet. I will have to look at mostly all reseller hosts and find out which one is the best for me! Thanks

What is your monthly budget? That's the first question you should ask yourself and answer when starting up a reseller account.

Like I said in last post my monthly budget that I can spend on hosting is somwhere near 60 Us dollars! Of course little above and below that is acceptable too!

In that case, you may want to start small. It's good to start small, for if you fail, you won't be losing much, like I said last time.
http://www.ecommercediscovery.com/hosting/reseller.html is recommended. The webspace given may not seem like much, but if you're not getting customers, it's going to just sit there. After you've gotten enough customers, move on to the next plan. Once you exhaust that and see that you have enough money as to purchase a dedicated server, do that, and move all the clients to it.
You may also want to try another kind of reselling, and that's the traditional kind where you get an account at a host, your own nameservers, and you resell at lower prices, the accounts that they set.
http://www.interserver.net/ [note, as soon as you do get enough customers to purchase a dedicated server, they will give you that option and then you have full control over the plans]

Whoops. Haha.
Actually, by the time you switch to the dedicated server, you will have already paid for it with the money you get from customers.

hmm, cyberwings has alot of reseller plans, but I am not sure if they are good? Anyways on the main page of rackshacks special servers they got that 300 gb/bandwidth and 20gb space for 99/month? Is that true?

Yes, that offer is valid. They don't anticipate you using up 300 GB of transfer monthly, and that's why they are offering that; it is being used as a marketing ploy.

Try mchost.com instead, they're focused only on reseller accounts.

I just cant believe donhost sux. their control panels look better than any hosting companies I have seen yet. The best. I dont know why ya said they offer 20 gig bandwidth instead of 50 like they said, but anyways their control panels are the best.
BTW, mchost seems more like regular host. Their highest reseller package is 100$ for only 32 gig bandiwdth and 2gb space!

Donhost is just a bad company. They also delete accounts because of their crazily strict TOS/AUP. If you were to go with Donhost, chances are some of your client's accounts will be deleted without notice.
When you find that you are in need of a $100 package, you OBVIOUSLY should move to a dedicated server instead, namely rackshack's.

ohh, well. It seems all hosts either are punks or chumps. Either is the price or the quality. There isnt nothing actually in between. I guess I should rent my own oc-3 connection and make my own business. Depending on other hosts i never know when I can get tricked! Ohh well. Thanks for these sites. All reseller plans that I have seen thus far suck!

The three donhost resellers that I have known have either pulled (directoris, yupapa) out gone out of business (9kd).
You're just expecting too much for the money. 
BTW, an OC-3 costs at least $40,000 [ a month] to rent and you need to be in an area of servicing, good luck finding that kind of money.
