OK.

Let's make a back step.

I haven't any account yet,ok?

Simply I would get one and I'm "enjoyed" making some calculations from wich came up these unprobable figures,that make me very suspiciuos.

I don't want to support their validity,I'm the first to be sceptic.

But I have to admit that at a purely hypothetic level,this could be possible,altough I don't know hosting resellers that have became rich.

Some objections/considerations are well-founded but however confutables.
Examples:

I've counted to assign 400 x 5 Mb accounts on a total space of 2Gb.
Someone objected that 5Mb x 400 account would represent a paltry offer;I've came across a lot of hosting sellers that offer the same space or even less and customers are happy;personally I've a valid web site with images hosted in a 3Mb account and I manage it without difficulty,and it is not certainly a blog!

Someone other objected that assuming possible to have 400 customers comes up a support problem that makes necessary to assume a second person,but also this problem could be solved by implementing an on line support fully automatized.

Someone other again objected that it's difficult to load up customers,but with a large pay per click campaign ,solved also this one.

The fact that really make me perplexed is the assumed paltry cost of the reseller account comparison to the possibilities that it offers.

To provide web space is not a problem:
5Mb are few? OK I set up a bigger account or a dedicated server,and I offer 100Mb to everyone:it's enough?
But my costs remain low. I pay "only" $1,000/yer for this and I could gain x10!?

I have over the necessary to assume a "helper".

Have I to set up 1,000 accounts : I set up a large pay per click advertising campaign!How much could I pay?
$2/3/4,000 maybe?
But my gain remains still elevated.

So I'm gone back to the scratch: So,What?
