Reseller Hosting

There are a lot of ways of generating cash online and one of them is to sell the web hosting solutions offered by some web hosting accounts provider. This presents immeasurable options for everyone who would like to make more money. There are different kinds of hosting reseller solutions, based on the web hosting reseller's level of involvement and, of course, on the hosting distributor that provides the hosting service. Before looking into that, let's first examine

What is a web hosting reseller service?

A reseller hosting solution is a sort of hosting user account, which allows the user to set up different sub-accounts that can be sold to various clients. This is chiefly accomplished by furnishing the reseller with access to a master reseller web hosting account, through which he can create various web hosting accounts using the server hard disk storage space offered by the reseller package, for which he pays a given price. This is much like the shared web hosting solution and precisely like it, with the majority of hosting reseller programs, lots of reseller web hosting accounts share one and the very same web server and do not receive complete server root access to the server config files. Such reseller programs are normally not that expensive. Still, they do impede the resellers from promoting other forms of hosting services beside shared web hosting plans.

Various types of hosting reseller solutions

Aside from the abovementioned method of hosting reseller accounts, there are also a few other schemes that work just as fine. However, they differ in terms of the levels of participation and the amount of cash that each of them entails. As already stated, the most popular way of selling web hosting solutions offers you limited opportunities and you risk losing your funds if things don't go well. Because of this, larger web hosting suppliers like Resellers Panel provide different methods of selling hosting accounts without having to pay for anything beforehand, or to even take care of the provision of client and invoicing support. With their reseller web hosting program, the hosting reseller subscribes free of charge and fixes his own retail prices for the web hosting accounts, which are being offered straight from his online store. Since billing transactions are tackled by ResellersPanel's team, the customer does not need to pay for the web hosting service beforehand. He's merely going to receive the difference between the retail and the wholesale price in the form of a commission. The reseller also has the opportunity to provide hosing solutions like VPS accounts, semi-dedicated web hosting server plans and dedicated web hosting server accounts. More or less, his role entails popularizing the service and offering support to the end users and with web hosting vendors that do not request preliminary deposits and deal with the billing and technical support provision, the only task left for the web hosting reseller will be to promote his personal brand's online storefront. Another alternative will be to create separate user accounts on a virtual private web hosting server, or on a dedicated web hosting server. With most hosting service providers, you may receive those 2 hosting web hosting services with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or some different web hosting CP, already installed on them. That will permit you to create various shared hosting accounts and have complete control over both the users and the hosting server itself. In addition, on a dedicated web hosting server, you may set up various VPS server web hosting accounts and sell them to your customers. A single dedicated server may accommodate 1000's of Virtual Private Server web hosting accounts, based on the web server's specs. This will allow you to sell a more extensive array of web hosting solutions to your customers, which will provide you with more alternatives when popularizing your web storefront. By all means, using a virtual hosting server or a dedicated web hosting server for reseller hosting purposes is much more costly than having an average reseller hosting account. Due to this reason, this alternative should be considered only on condition that the web hosting reseller has sufficient ability and training needed to administer a web hosting server, otherwise it's advisable to either opt for a standard reseller web hosting program, or for the aforementioned Free Reseller Program offered by Resellers Panel, which requests less commitment from the hosting reseller.
