Free web hosting reselling?

by hs301

I own a great domain name for a free web host. What I'd like to do is set it up with something free (or would also consider something very cheap) per month that would allow me to have a web front end as a reseller. Here's the catch: the method I'm trying to employ is giving away limited/restricted free web hosting and then trying to convert people who sign up to paying packages. Preference is to get paid commission on conversions and on going royalty/cut of monthly payments would be great.

The problem is I've looked around a lot, and can't seem to find any decent hosters that do this. Either they want to charge me for the privilage of selling their products (doesn't make sense right?) or they don't offer the free hosting that can be converted.

Anyone have any ideas or recommendations?

The domain I own is webhost4free . com

Thanks much!!

    So why not open a reseller hosting account with someone and give the hosting away to anyone interested - cost to you $30 per month or thereabouts and if you think you can monetise it back end a few dollars per month should not get in the way.

    Main reason is I'm looking to have the whole thing automated. If the reseller provides the ability to upsell/convert on its own I'd be very interestd. Any specific hosters that anyone would recommend?

    You won't find somebody offering what you are asking about because it costs them money to provide the service in the first place.

    Just buy a reseller plan, you can get one for $10-$20/month. Plug it into WHMCS, and you'll have what you want.
