With a market filled with competition you have probably asked yourself, "Should I become a reseller?" Points to think about before deciding Before taking the plunge and signing up for a reseller account maybe you should ponder these points: Do I have the time to market my services? - To stand out among the many webhosts you will be required to market your services. Be prepared to spend time every day marketing your new hosting company or learning of various techniques to market your services. Am I prepared to offer support to my clients? - To effectively support your clients when they have a question about web hosting or if something is not working you should either have experience with web hosting or the company that is providing reseller services should provide this support.

Be sure that you are committed to providing these services indefinitely because your customers have put their trust in you and are counting on you to be around. Is it worth it?
