Well, this is all in an example. Even if a customer could have more than
one accounts, allowing for a many:many, I'd still have the same issue
figuring out naming schemes.

"Email Hosting", "Web Hosting", etc. But I'm not designing a billing
system. This is just an example. But I'd have these same questions if I
was listing something else, like a forum, etc.
