Is anyone using this yet - I am hosting about 30 domains with them and it seems like a brilliant idea. The cost savings would be enormous.

The only downside would be if one domain abuses the system and goes way over the set limits or if payment isnt made then all the accounts are affected.

I don't see how one busy site should affect you - surely you've got your own agreement with the domain owner regarding over usage. As long as the rate they pay you for over usage is more that the rate you pay on the Volume Plan for over usage there is no problem.

As for payment - you pay Hertzer, and you recover from your clients. If one client doesn't pay, it doesn't affect the other domain owners, only you as a reseller.

I haven't actually signed up for a volume plan yet, but been looking into it though.
