CoolHandle
CoolHandle's white label reseller program comes in three different plans that allow customers to set their own packages and pricing without putting a cap on sales and profits.

247-Host
Starting as low as $3.99 a month for 1 GB of space and 20 GB of bandwidth, the private label reseller program from 247-Host offers eight different reseller plans that all allow users to set their own packages and pricing and don't place any limit on the number of domains they host. Every plan also includes private name servers, 24/7 support (it's in the name, after all), instant backups, search engine submission, Ruby on Rails compatibility, a 45-day money back guarantee, 99.9 percent uptime, free templates and no contracts.

Superb Internet
Customers can sign up to sell dedicated servers and VPS through Superb Internet, which come with 10 Mbps of unmetered traffic, no setup fees, unlimited assistance for the first 30 days and a 30-day money back guarantee to go along with it. They can also reduce their acquisition costs by as much as 45 percent on each resold account, and can determine their own pricing and package allocations, with no cap on sales or profits.

Meanwhile, the cloud option offers 100 percent redundant hosting and email, along with all of the features available in the regular reseller hosting program.
Media Temple
As part of its dedicated-virtual (dv) server, Media Temple offers reseller Web hosting that comes with 6 different levels of scalability (and maybe even more, if you need it). And while it is slightly costlier than other services on this list (starting at $50 a month for the lowest package), it makes up for it with robust features and high-class technology. Among the many features included in the Media Temple reseller program are unlimited domain hosting, a brandable control panel, private name servers and the ability to give each of your clients separate access to their own control panels, while you manage all of them from a single, top-level view.
