You give them your address, and you sell their discounted services (because you're a reseller) and put a buck or two on top of that (just an example). When someone buys something, you get the money you charged on top of the discounted price, and they just send you a check every now and then.

The "100% automated" thing is very nice (cuts down on management overhead,
so that all a reseller has to do is marketing I suppose), but their plans
are not competitive at all.
They charge $25 for 5 GB data transfer and 35 MB disk space. To get that
from a quality webhost shouldn't cost more than $10... and I'm talking
about consumer prices, not wholesale prices.
