Hey guys... I'm new on this forum, and I was basically curious what most *successful* web designers do for their hosting needs? Do you simply set your client up with the cheapest hosting package you can find (e.g. GoDaddy), do you have a reseller account somewhere, or do you do something else?

I've been offering loaded hosting packages for years to my design clients and just recently began advertising my reseller service (free to sign-up, private label template site, we handle all the billing/tech support, the works) where the resellers are paid an ongoing commission for all of the hosting accounts they have.

The problem is: these "resellers" don't do anything! It seems that 90% of hosting resellers don't know how to design websites, and I believe designing a site is the only "easy" way to get the hosting account. Maybe I should target web designers instead of people seeking hosting reseller accounts.

Please provide your thoughts.
