What are you thoughts on reseller hosting accounts?
I feel that they can be an excellent way to start a hosting business and perfect for web developers and webmasters with lots of sites. However it sickens me to see people purchasing and asking for super cheap reseller accounts (I saw a post on LowEndTalk where the person wanted an unlimited master reseller for $2.5/month). If you are planning on selling hosting you should put your clients on reseller with a decent server, good uptime and support.
Do you think that sometime people stay away from vastly cheaper hosting?

Certainly. There will be people out there who wouldn't purchase a service (such as reseller hosting) that was selling for $9.99 but might purchase the same service if the company upped the price. I remember hearing a business case of a fashion designer who got hardly any sales when he/she sold cheaply through The Warehouse (NZ's version of Walmart but a lot smaller). When they put the price up, they actually got more sales.
I can see that as well, sometimes the cheapest isn't better. There are those times where it could, and they lower the price just to get clients. Which I think is understandable.
It's Good to earn money :)
