Would this be classified as host reselling??????

[aviate44]

To all guru's out there. I would like to set up webpages for a bunch of friends of mine, however they do not have direct access to edit pages or upload content nor do they have a CPANEL/FTP password to access the server to change files.

This seems to be a grey area, where some consider it as reselling / others say it is fine, what are your views?

If you're charging your friends to setup a site for them, I would call it host reselling. However, it's a different matter if you've basically volunteered a page or two for them, and they are "donating" some funds to help you pay for the hosting. I'd think the latter is OK, but you should check the TOS for you hosting provider to confirm.
