Is reseller web hosting a good revenue generating business?
Question: How many clients do i need to make atleast k per month.
Answer: Based on your business hosting question, here is our suggestion. If you are looking for a business hosting or even the best domain host, your best option is to go with Hostgator. Well, they are not totally free – you have to pay $0.01 (by entering the coupon code below at checkout). This coupon code is usable for any shared hosting and even the $24.95 Aluminum reseller hosting. We suggest you do not waste your time with any other unreliable business hosting.
If you are not only looking for a business hosting, but also a good cheap hosting, we suggest you try MyHosting. It is hard to find any negative MyHosting review so we believe they are the best because they give unlimited bandwidth, unlimited storage, unlimited addon domains, Site builder and much more for such a low monthly price. You can get MyHosting for only $4.84/month.

This is probably not a good idea (at all) unless you already have a client-base of people looking for web hosting services or you somehow cater to the industry (and have a reputation).
Check out the pricing on eBay for web hosting accounts – I just looked & saw an ad for 3 years of ‘unlimited’ web hosting for $7.95.
Reselling web hosting space is not easy (all support issues go to you until you can hire a proper tech) and it would be really, really difficult to pull a profit (let alone $6,000/month) without a unique selling position and a large, already-established base of people interested in your services.
Now – I’m throwing something out here, but you may be able to fast-track your way into the business by an insane offer & excellent services… Setup a contest and give away something like a new car for an active customer at some point down the road. Something like this would likely get an immense amount of press (TV, radio, newspaper, online, etc) & you could bypass the need to advertise as it would be done for you. Obviously there are many different points that you’d need to address so that you didn’t come to financial ruin, but it’s an idea.
This gist of what I’m saying is this: short of already being in the industry, offering a unique twist to what current hosting accounts offer or stepping out on a dangerous limb to get attention – I don’t think this is a good idea for a business venture.
No. Just ask the 10,000 people who are doing it.
As far as how many clients to get to 6K, the real question you need to ask is how much revenue can I get per client? This is specific to your account base. Will they be $10/month or $100.00/month.
Yes it can be but usually people don’t start right off making that kind of money, it may take a bit of marketing effort to see 6K a month, depending on the program you join. A lot of people are making very big money after a couple of years and sometimes it comes from more than one program.
There are a lot of programs that are nothing but hype so you need to be careful. I’ve joined a lot of them and one that I feel comfortable recommending is:

That is a very broad question, way to many factors, depends on what you pay for the hosting, how much you charge, etc, there are so many low budget hosts out there now that can afford to low ball the next guy, if you have smaller type clients, which average hosting is going from 3.95 to 4.95 for something small your looking at 1200 clients you would need to make 6k minus all your expenses, you can check out http://bargainking.net for a few very cheap reselling packages from several providers.
