NO NO NO NO NO........

What your doing is not web hosting, its very bad comedy..

Seriosly you cant use frames to host websites, search engines will treat
them like they are part of your site and if you charge your customers =
for
that then they are being ripped off.

Get a reseller hosting account from somewhere like www.hostek.com (Great
Windows hosting) and give the customer there own proper website, IP and
email server. $25 a month (=A314 or so) (5 sites included) resell it for =
what
you want.

If you dont want to make much money (And you probably wont) then keep it
cheap just use it as an extra service to allow you to easily up-sell =
your
other services etc.
