What is Reseller Web Hosting?
There are lots of ways of making revenue on the web and one of them is to resell the hosting solutions supplied by a certain service provider. This presents endless options for everyone who wants to gain extra profit. There are several types of reseller web hosting services, based on the hosting reseller's level of commitment and, of course, on the hosting supplier that provides the hosting service. Prior to looking into that, let's first explore
What is a reseller web hosting service?
A reseller web hosting service is a type of hosting account, which enables the reseller to create various subaccounts that can be resold to different clients. This is generally achieved by supplying the user with access to a master reseller web hosting account, through which he can set up different hosting accounts availing of the hosting server hard drive storage space included in the reseller web hosting package, for which he pays a given charge. This is a lot like the shared hosting service and exactly like it, with the majority of reseller web hosting programs, a lot of reseller hosting accounts share one single web hosting server and are not granted full root-level access to the server config files. Such reseller web hosting programs are typically not that expensive. Yet, they do restrain the resellers from providing other kinds of hosting solutions beside shared web hosting plans.
Various kinds of reseller web hosting services
Apart from the aforementioned method of reseller web hosting accounts, there are also several different setups that work just as fine. Still, they differ in terms of the degrees of involvement and the amount of cash that each of them requires. As stated above, the most popular mode of selling hosting solutions offers you restricted alternatives and you risk forfeiting your investment if things go wrong. That is the reason why, bigger web hosting vendors like ResellersPanel.com provide alternative methods of selling web hosting packages without the need to pay for anything beforehand, or to even become involved in the provision of technical and billing support. With their reseller web hosting program, the hosting reseller signs up free of charge and names his own personal retail prices for the web hosting packages, which are being sold directly from his web storefront. Because invoicing transactions are taken care of by ResellersPanel.com's team, the client does not have to buy the service in advance. He's simply going to receive the difference between the retail and the wholesale price as a commission. The reseller also has the opportunity to distribute hosing solutions such as VPS, semi-dedicated servers and dedicated server. More or less, his duty entails promoting the hosting service and providing support to the end customers and with providers that do not demand preliminary fees and take care of the invoicing and technical support provision, the only task left for the web hosting reseller will be to advertise his private brand's online store. Another alternative will be to set up different accounts on a virtual private hosting server, or on a dedicated hosting server. With most web hosting corporations, you may receive those two web hosting solutions with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or some different CP, already installed on them. That will enable you to create different shared web hosting plans and exert complete authority over both the clients and the server itself. Additionally, on a dedicated hosting web server, you may set up various VPS server hosting accounts and offer them to your clients. One dedicated hosting server may host 1000's of virtual hosting server accounts, depending on the server's architecture. This will permit you to sell a wider assortment of services to your clients, which will give you more possibilities when popularizing your web storefront. Surely, using a virtual web hosting server or a dedicated web server for reseller web hosting objectives is much more expensive than utilizing a regular reseller web hosting user account. For this reason, this alternative should be considered only if the web hosting reseller has enough ability and training necessary to handle a server, otherwise it's recommendable to either register for a regular reseller web hosting program, or for the abovementioned Free Reseller Program offered by ResellersPanel.com, which requests less participation from the web hosting reseller.
