I recently started a DNN Web design business and I am wanting to provide hosting to my clients now. I am currently setting them up through a host and just building their site. I would rather be a reseller for DNN hosting, that way I can add a few bucks to the hosting plans and provide support while making a couple extra bucks a month. However, I can't seem to find a good solution for this. All the reseller programs out there for DNN that I have found, offer a ridiculously low amount of disk space and too high of a price. Any help is greatly appreciated! If there is anyone else on here doing what I'm trying to do, please let me know what you do.

 If you want an account dedicated to the creation and management of reselling online acocunts, one good option I've had some experience with is the Windows reseller plans at Reseller Choice.  You can easily add / remove separately-managed accounts from your reseller account and extend login rights as needed to individual sub-accounts.  Basic 5-domain plans start at $10 a month but for reselling you really have to move up to the "Enterprise" packages ($20/month for 5 domains) which provide a separate SQL DB for each sub-account plus more disk space (2GB), more bandwidth and more email accounts.  All in all a very good value for only a $4 per month cost to you per hosted domain for standard site needs.
 
As the reseller you get to dictate how your overall disk space and bandwidth is allotted to each of your sub-accounts.  I've seen some reseller accounts that lock you into matching sub accounts instead of allowing you to provision resources as you see fit across your different sub accounts.  It's all pretty easily managed through the web control panel (RC also makes the web control panel source code available, interestingly enough).  Reseller Choice features click-to-install DotNetNuke without a resulting subfolder name in the path (DNN version 4.9.2 the last time I looked -- perhaps it's up to 4.9.4 by now).  I used to scoff at such click-to-install options for DNN but these days I view it as a real time saver.  You have your choice of .Net framework versions form 1.1 up through 3.5.  You can upgrade specific parts of your reseller plan without having to move entirely to a more expensive plan (incrementally add moe disk space, more bandwidth, more SQL databases, private IPs, etc).  

  
I've had no issues with dealing with RC's support and the few service requests I've made to date (SSL certificates, account upgrades) were promptly addressed.

Hope that helps-
