What Indeed is Reseller Hosting?
There are lots of means of gaining money on the web and one of them is to resell the hosting services supplied by a given web hosting vendor. This provides immense possibilities for everybody who would like to generate additional cash. There are various sorts of reseller hosting solutions, depending on the reseller's degree of involvement and, of course, on the hosting company that offers the service. Before looking into that, let's first explore
What is a reseller hosting service?
A reseller hosting solution is a type of hosting account, which permits the reseller to set up separate subaccounts that can be offered to different clients. This is commonly accomplished by furnishing the user with access to a main reseller hosting account, through which he can create separate hosting accounts with the hosting server disk storage space provided by the reseller hosting package, for which he pays a given charge. This is a lot like the shared web hosting service and just like it, with the majority of reseller hosting programs, lots of hosting reseller accounts share one and the same web server and are not furnished with root-level access to the server config files. Such reseller hosting programs are typically not that high-priced. Yet, they do restrain the web hosting resellers from promoting other forms of hosting solutions beside shared hosting plans.
Different kinds of reseller hosting services
Apart from the abovementioned way of reseller hosting plans, there are also several other ways that work just as fine. Yet, they differ in terms of the levels of involvement and the amount of funds that each one of them necessitates. As already stated, the most popular method of selling hosting services offers you limited options and you risk losing your investment if things don't go well. This is the reason why, bigger web hosting suppliers like ResellersPanel.com offer different methods of reselling hosting accounts without having to buy anything beforehand, or to even become involved in the provision of technical and invoicing support. With their web hosting reseller program, the web hosting reseller subscribes free of cost and defines his own retail prices for the web hosting plans, which are being offered straight from his online store. Since invoicing transactions are taken care of by ResellersPanel.com's team, the client does not need to buy the web hosting service in advance. He's just going to get the difference between the retail price and the wholesale price in the form of a commission. The web hosting reseller also has the possibility to offer web hosting solutions like VPS, semi-dedicated servers and dedicated server. More or less, his duty entails advertising the web hosting service and providing support to the end users and with hosting firms that do not demand preliminary taxes and take care of the invoicing and client support provision, the sole responsibility left for the reseller will be to advertise his private brand's online storefront. Another alternative will be to set up different user accounts on a VPS web server, or on a dedicated web server. With most web hosting providers, you may get those 2 hosting services with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or some other Control Panel, already installed on them. That will allow you to set up different shared hosting accounts and exert complete control over both the clients and the server itself. Additionally, on a dedicated hosting server, you may create various virtual private web server accounts and offer them to your customers. A single dedicated hosting web server may store 1000's of virtual private web server hosting accounts, depending on the web server's architecture. This will enable you to deliver a larger assortment of web hosting solutions to your clients, which will provide you with more options when popularizing your online storefront. By all means, utilizing a VPS web hosting server or a dedicated server for reseller hosting objectives is much more expensive than utilizing a conventional reseller hosting user account. This is the reason why, this opportunity should be examined only if the reseller has enough knowledge and training required to manage a web server, otherwise it's recommended to either sign up for a normal reseller hosting program, or for the already mentioned Free Reseller Program courtesy of ResellersPanel.com, which requires less dedication from the web hosting reseller.
