Thing is you won't get much experience as a reseller, unless support and marketing are the items you're talking about. There's a few white label solusvm reseller packages around. I know vps6.net has a program, I think ramnode is working on finishing theirs up.
If I were a host I wouldnt bother with reseller plans. Not only because of ToS/AUP, but because most dont have a clue about what support this involves, how to choose customers, etc.
An affiliate plan would work, tho, i.e. get a percent from every sale, but to trust others to get customers on my responsibility, that is a no-no for a paranoid like me.

Kind of how I feel about it now. I made the mistake of trying to do white label reselling for VPS6.net. Don't get me wrong, I like them, but I'm glad I didn't get any bites. The server they'd have likely been provisioned on went down for 4 days, and knowing me I'd have refunded everyone 100% on the spot and felt horrible about it. At least if something of mine goes down I hold the situation in my hands. Being at the mercy of someone else's business strategy scares the mess out of me. I'm not even thrilled with the idea that I have to rely on datacenters.
@jarland
That is the reverse, but same idea. I said I dont like to be responsible for customers I dont choose myself, but what you say is also true about me.

Yes you are right, that is the problem just offer the reseller package, an strange but it and sell to whoever they want.
i know to verify a possible client takes more time.
But is not always like that, we all are not like that.
A reseller should ask to the owner if there is a doubt we have to talk about the programs, how to improve services, help each other and things like that

Indeed. Although, I will add that we have concerns of TOS/AUP issues like everyone else. We might require some communication between us and the reseller before allocating their resources.

@GetKVM_AshGetKVM_Ash
Ok I gonna look for it
Resellers forget to include our TOS in their. Meaning that we get atleast 1-2 abuse reports per reseller each month.

There seriously needs to be some rules regarding self promotion round here!
Except in the offers forum.
@LV_Matt
What about send any kind of promotion in a PM, it can work :P
Why, the people should get the best deal possible.
@LV_Matt So promote yourself too. I like this forum because it's active, moderated, and isn't WHT.
@jarland well said.
Lol ... Ya its possible just dont make spam :P
Or we can always make a rule that you have to be here for 3 months and have 50 posts to self promote
