Hi wesh.uk and BrowserBug, Thank you so much for taking the time to give such thorough responses to my questions. I clearly still have a lot to learn and this was the final information I needed to decide that I will start off with an affiliate option for the next year or so. wesh.uk, I will take a look at your hosting plans. Many thanks again!

Hi guys, I've been reading so many conversations about becoming a hosting reseller or affiliate and yet I'm still having a hard time deciding what to do. I'm very new to the industry so I want to be sure that I have the skills to make it worth becoming a reseller at this stage. At the moment, I help my clients out (as their designer) with minor hosting issues by getting in touch with the provider on their behalf and working through the issue. I can navigate my way around on a basic level, but want to have a clearer idea of what issues I might run into as a reseller. Questions: 1. What are the most common issues that I might run into as a reseller? At the moment, I will likely only have approx 10 sites with low to medium traffic. 2. Should I just do it? Did other people just dive in when they weren't sure? It seems quite expensive so I'm wondering about becoming an affiliate first for a while. 3. I move a lot between the UK and Australia and built small business Wordpress websites in both countries. Does that mean I shouldn't choose a .au or .uk provider and go for a global option? 4. In 2018, what are the best reseller options out there? I've looked at quite a few now but would love a recommendation. Thanks so much for any help! Emily
