Re: Hosting reseller question

    Hi Lisa,
    I offer hosting - by itself or as part of website packages. It makes it
easy for my clients but it's a pain in the..... neck for me. I spend a fair
amount of time handling questions & etc. for little compensation. But hey I
need all the $ I can get at this piont.....(the web design has been slow to
take off - not helped by having 0 advertising $).
    Domain names are a little trickier - you have to have the registriar set
them up in the client's name & bill you. DirectNIC does that for me, but
it's still a pain. One advantage is that I can change nameservers (& other
info) easily; right now one of my client's sites is down (& has been for
*weeks*) 'cause she dosen't know how to handle the idiots at
register.com.........
    HTH,
    ~ Paul
