What
does it cost to become a Reseller?
To
become a Reseller, all you need to do is purchase a Reseller
SimplePlan account. The Reseller SimplePlan is an expanded
version of our retail hosting package which offers more storage
and features. The Reseller SimplePlan costs $10 per month when billed
annually ($120.00 per year). We also offer quarterly and semi-annual
payment plans. You can get started for as little as $42.00 on the
Quarterly plan. Add-ons are available at the same rate as for our
retail SimplePlan, see the SimplePlan detail
page for more information.

As
a Reseller, what are my costs for Resold packages?
Resellers
receive a 25% discount from retail plan pricing any resold accounts.
Your cost for each resold SimplePlan account is as follows:
| Contract
Lentgh |
Reseller
Monthly Cost* |
Reseller Annual Cost |
Annual
 |
$3.75 |
$45.00 |
| |
$4.50 |
$54.00 |
| Quarterly |
$5.25 |
$63.00 |
* Price reflects Reseller discount of 25%
As
a Reseller you set your own pricing structure,
and charge the prices you feel are appropriate for the service.
Here's a real-life example:
You order a SimplePlan
for your client. You are charged just $45 for a year of hosting.
You bill your client $19.95 per month with a $30 setup fee. After
a year, you've collected a total of $269.40, so your net profit
for just one account is over $224!

What
do I have to do to get started?
You just order the Reseller SimplePlan. Once you've done that, you
can add resold domains directly from your Reseller Control Center.
You'll be up and running in minutes!

Do
I have to share my disk space with my clients?
No, the
Reseller SimplePlan is for your site only. Each of your resold domains
gets its own resources and Control Center. You
can use the extra space in your account for demonstrating design
work in progress, transferring files to/from clients, etc.

Is
there any difference between the resold SimplePlan and the regular
SimplePlan?
In
order to maintain anonymity, we remove all references to us on the
Control Center screens in your clients' accounts. As a result, certain
tools such as "Account Management" and links to our Assistance
Center, support documentation, etc have been taken out. Your resold
plans enjoy the same disk space and bandwidth limits as well as
all the features of our regular SimplePlan.

What
restrictions do you place on resold domains?
None,
however your resold accounts are bound by the same usage terms as
provided in our Terms and Conditions. As a reseller, you
are ultimately responsible for monitoring your client's content
and ensuring acceptable use.
Also, the 30-day money-back guarantee does not apply to resold domains.

What
if my client quits before the contract is up?
If
this happens, you have several options:
- You can cancel (remove) the account and receive a pro-rated refund,
minus the $25 early termination fee, credited to your account for
use against a future billing
- You can change the domain name associated with the account for
a fee of $15. This enables you to keep the account and resell it
to someone else.

Some
Important Reseller Terms and Conditions
- To
be a reseller, you must first sign up for the Reseller SimplePlan.
This is your plan for your own site and is not shared with your
resold accounts.
- Resellers
are responsible for tech support for their end users. We provide
support only to the reseller. Resellers are expected to have
a working knowledge of our Control Center features and be able
to handle basic (level 1) support questions on their own.
- Resellers
are ultimately responsible for ensuring their end users are
in compliance with our terms and conditions for content.
- Payment
for all reseller plans and added accounts must be made by credit
card, or pre-paid in advance. Resellers should have a valid
credit card on file at all times to cover client's renewal fees,
parking orders, add-on package costs, etc.
- IMPORTANT:
Any reseller with a past-due balance more than 7 days
old may be subject to suspension of service - THIS INCLUDES
ALL DOMAINS ASSOCIATED WITH THE RESELLER MASTER ACCOUNT!
After 21 days of suspension if the balance is not paid
the Reseller's account and all associated domains will
be removed from the server. There are no refunds for remaining
time on any sub-account if the Master Reseller account
is terminated for non-payment.
- The
first resold account must be added within the first 90
days of the initial Reseller contract or a $5 per month
Maintenance Fee will be assessed. If, at any time after
the first 90 days of the Reseller's contract, there are
no resold accounts under the Reseller, the $5 per month
Maintenance Fee will apply.
- Cancellation
of the Reseller SimplePlan account will also close any
resold accounts under it. You cannot resell our services
unless you maintain a Reseller SimplePlan account in good
standing.
- Resellers
are responsible for moving or registering their client's domain
names with the appropriate registrars. We cannot make exceptions
to this requirement.
- Resold
domains (accounts you sell to your clients) are not eligible
for the 30-day money-back guarantee*. Standard
termination policies shall apply to all Resold accounts,
regardless of whether they are less than 30 days old.
* Your
Reseller SimplePlan account is covered by the
30-day guarantee for 30 days from initial signup
