I currently have a baby plan and I have some friends that I have set up websites for using their own hatchling plan. I am about to start a web design business (and start charging people for my services) and need to upgrade to reseller.

Here are my questions:

How do I know which plan I need (aluminum, copper, etc.)? Most sites are very basic and have possibly a wordpress blog, a few forms and that is it. I have one site that uses SQL databases and currently gets about 30 hits per day but should be up to 100 soon. I forsee in the next year that I will be hosting 15-30 simple websites.

For my friend’s sites that currently have their own hatchling account, is it possible for them to have their money refunded and then have their accounts transferred to my reseller account?

I am also working on a site that will eventually be a download site and should be quite busy. Is it ok to start this on a reseller server and eventually transfer to a dedicated?

Thanks!
Marie
