What is Reseller Hosting?

There are many means of earning money online and one of them is to sell the web hosting services supplied by a particular web hosting accounts provider. This provides unlimited options for everyone who desires to gain more revenue. There are several kinds of reseller hosting services, based on the hosting reseller's level of participation and, of course, on the hosting company that provides the web hosting service. Before going into that, let's first explore

What is a reseller hosting service?

A reseller hosting service is a type of web hosting user account, which permits the reseller to set up different sub-accounts that can be sold to different clients. This is usually carried out by supplying the user with access to a master reseller hosting account, via which he can set up separate web hosting accounts with the web hosting server hard disk storage space provided by the reseller hosting plan, for which he pays a given tax. This is much similar to the shared web hosting solution and precisely like it, with the majority of reseller hosting programs, many hosting reseller accounts share one single web server and do not get complete server root access to the server configuration files. Such reseller web hosting programs are generally not that expensive. Still, they do hinder the web hosting resellers from selling other kinds of hosting solutions except shared plans.

Different types of reseller hosting solutions

Aside from the already mentioned way of reseller hosting packages, there are also a few different ways that work just as fine. Still, they vary with respect to the levels of participation and the budget amount that each of them requires. As mentioned above, the most popular way of selling web hosting solutions gives you limited alternatives and you risk losing your funds if things go wrong. Due to this reason, larger web hosts such as ResellersPanel.com provide different modes of reselling web hosting packages without having to pay for anything beforehand, or to even be responsible for the provision of technical and billing support. With their hosting reseller program, the hosting reseller signs up free of charge and specifies his very own personal retail prices for the hosting plans, which are being sold straight from his online storefront. Because billing transactions are tackled by ResellersPanel.com's personnel, the customer does not have to pay for the hosting service upfront. He's simply going to obtain the difference between the retail price and the wholesale price as a commission. The web hosting reseller also has the opportunity to provide hosing solutions like VPS web hosting, semi-dedicated web hosting and dedicated web hosting. More or less, his duty entails promoting the web hosting service and providing support to the end users and with web hosting companies that do not require upfront installments and cope with the billing and technical support provision, the sole duty left for the hosting reseller will be to popularize his private brand's online storefront. Another option will be to set up different user accounts on a virtual private web server, or on a dedicated server. With the majority of web hosting companies, you may get those 2 web hosting services with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or some different CP, already installed on them. That will enable you to set up different shared web hosting plans and exercise absolute authority over both the clients and the web hosting server itself. Additionally, on a dedicated server, you may create separate virtual private hosting server accounts and sell them to your customers. One single dedicated server may stash thousands of virtual private web hosting server accounts, based on the server's capacity. This will permit you to deliver a more extensive array of web hosting solutions to your customers, which will present you with more alternatives when popularizing your web store. Certainly, using a virtual private web server or a dedicated web hosting server for reseller hosting purposes is much more costly than utilizing a conventional reseller hosting user account. That is the reason why, this possibility should be contemplated only if the web hosting reseller has sufficient knowledge and training needed to administer a web server, otherwise it's recommended to either opt for a standard reseller hosting program, or for the already mentioned Free Reseller Program offered by ResellersPanel.com, which requests less participation from the reseller.
