What's your opinion on reseller hosting? Do you think it's a bad thing to do since it can result in crowded servers? Or do you think that if managed correctly, it can be a great program to run?
From a web developers viewpoint, I'm not a big fan of reseller hosting. I don't see any reason why a web developer should pretend to be a hosting company when they have virtually no control over any aspect of the quality of service that is being provided. I would highly recommend that they be honest with their clients and tell them that they are not a hosting company, but they work closely with one and highly recommend them. Then they should work out a deal with the hosting company to pay you for referral business. I have seen to many web developer pretend to be hosting companies and get in way over their heads to like it.
However, from a hosting company viewpoint. Reseller programs are a quick and easy way to pick up loads of clients. Love that business model!
