How Reseller Hosting Functions
The Internet has become a crucial part of everybody's everyday life. Everybody desires to have their very own personal web page, whether for fun, for socialisation or business ends. The web hosting industry is thriving. Why don't you take a slice of the pie yourself?
What can you sell?
Most firms supply Linux-powered web hosting services. Linux is a multi-user platform, which is very adequate for both dedicated and shared web hosting servers. The usual reseller hosting platform that vendors offer is the cPanel one, as the cPanel web hosting Control Panel software allows 3 levels of access - root (meant for the hosting provider itself), reseller (that is where you enter) and user (for your customers). Even though some do allow overselling, in the majority of the circumstances you are restricted by the content storage space and monthly bandwidth quota restrictions of your reseller hosting package. It is like a sphere, which you stuff with tinier spheres - when you have stuffed it all up, you cannot add more.
Promote VPS web hosting or dedicated web server hosting solutions
The greater part of the hosting providers offering VPS web hosting and dedicated web hosting do not really mind if you utilize the private virtual web server or the dedicated server to resell website hosting accounts. If you opt to resell website hosting accounts availing of a dedicated web hosting server, you will have full authority over the whole physical server, the possibility to perform any configuration changes you wish and the opportunity to keep an eye on all the web hosting account owners hosted on it. The virtual web servers offer similar specifications, but in the majority of the cases you cannot carry out any kernel modifications or modifications, which require kernel module reconfiguration. The finest CP GUI that allows you to resell hosting accounts availing of your dedicated server or private virtual web hosting server is, once again, cPanel, although you can also make use of DirectAdmin, depending on which CP software tool befits your preferences better.
What do you need to become a reseller?
In order to be a web hosting reseller and begin your reseller web hosting business, you demand a web site, a billing software platform, a merchant account with an online payment processor such as PayPal, WorldPay, MoneyBookers, 2CheckOut, and so on, and an SSL certificate to make sure that your customers' information is safe when they pay using your website when purchasing a service. Well-known billing platforms that you can make use of are WHMCS, AWBS and ClientExec.
