Customer no per Reseller plan

Hi,

I am interested to open a reseller account in JodoHost.
I would like to ask how many customers can I have per Reseller plan.

Does it depend on the disk space the plan has or the customer number it's fixed per plan?

Thanks

Remember you will most likely use at least 2 of those User Accounts yourself. 1 for the Administrative account, and one to run your Service Domain webpage.
 
You can host unlimited customers in each reseller package (except litehost which is limited to 10 accounts)

each reseller package contains a certain number of user accounts free, remaining you need to pay $0.50/month per customer. Every you use 10 accounts in the litehost package, you'd need to upgrade to valuehost to use unlimited accounts
 
Although you can have unlimited domains, having multiple user accounts allows you to have separate control panels for each of your customers. This also helps with accounting. If you simply want to host many web sites for your customers and manage them yourself and handle your accounting separately then you don't really need a reseller account. You can just host them all under one account.

But again I have to buy a reseller account...Otherwise I have to buy one by one hosting plans for each of my customers. But it's not profitable.

So for example I can buy a ValueHost, use one user account for my self and from the control panel I can manage all the rest domains of my customers.

Am I right or not?

Right. Well, actually, each customer gets their own control panel. But you will have a master control panel that will allow you to get into each of the customer control panels if you need to do anything with them.
 
You could yes, but there are some downsides.
  • No control panel for customers to access.
  • No separate FTP access to their domains (JodoHost can set up FTP subaccounts but I doubt this is their intended purpose).
  • One website can access files that belong to another customer's website
  • You won't be able to use built-in accounting options or the support system for your customers.
  • With one account you can only host one server type (Windows, WinCF,Linux,VPS) instead of all of them.
I'm sure there are other disadvantages I forgot to mention.. All in all I doubt it's worth all the trouble just to save $0.50 a customer.

So, if I understood well, the number of the user accounts is in direct relation with the domains.

I mean that if I buy the ValueHost package the first 15 customers/domains will have their own control panel and I can manage everything (ex. ftp, mail, sql) from them. For the 16th and so on customer/domain I have to pay $0.50 per month to continue have the same advantages.

Am I right??
 
Right, except that there is not necessarily a 1 to 1 correlation between domains and control panels. You can allow a customer to have any number of domains under their control panel. Usually, resellers will make a number of plans ranging in features and price. You might consider having a lower-cost plan where a customer can only have one domain and a higher-cost plan where they can have up to 5 domains, for example. The user will be able to upgrade or downgrade from one plan to another, if you set it up that way.
