What is Web Hosting Reseller?

There are plenty of means of gaining profit on the Internet and one of them is to sell the shared hosting services supplied by a certain hosting distributor. This offers infinite options for everybody who wants to gain more cash. There are several types of web hosting reseller services, based on the hosting reseller's level of responsibility and, of course, on the hosting firm that provides the service. Prior to going into that, let's first discuss

What is a web hosting reseller solution?

A web hosting reseller service is a sort of hosting user account, which enables the reseller to set up various sub-accounts that can be offered to various clients. This is normally achieved by offering the user access to a master web hosting reseller account, through which he can create different hosting accounts using the web hosting server disk drive space provided by the web hosting reseller plan, for which he pays a certain charge. This is a lot like the shared hosting service and just like it, with most web hosting reseller programs, many reseller hosting accounts share the very same web hosting server and are not granted root-level access to the web server configuration files. Such reseller programs are generally not that high-priced. Still, they do hinder the resellers from distributing other sorts of hosting solutions except shared packages.

Different kinds of web hosting reseller services

Beside the already mentioned manner of web hosting reseller plans, there are also several other ways that work just as good. However, they vary in terms of the degrees of involvement and the amount of cash that each one of them requires. As mentioned, the most popular way of reselling web hosting solutions offers you restricted alternatives and you risk losing your cash if things don't go well. Because of this reason, larger web hosting corporations such as ResellersPanel.com offer different modes of reselling web hosting packages without having to pay for anything upfront, or to even cope with the provision of customer and invoicing support. With their program, the hosting reseller subscribes free of charge and designates his own retail prices for the hosting plans, which are being offered directly from his online store. As invoicing transactions are tackled by ResellersPanel.com's team, the client does not need to pay for the web hosting service upfront. He's just going to receive the difference between the retail price and the wholesale price as a commission. The web hosting reseller also has the option to sell hosing services like virtual private servers plans, semi-dedicated server plans and dedicated server. More or less, his role entails advertising the service and providing support to the end users and with web hosting firms that do not request preliminary taxes and take care of the billing and customer support provision, the only task left for the web hosting reseller will be to advertise his private brand's web storefront. Another possibility will be to set up separate user accounts on a private virtual web hosting server, or on a dedicated hosting web server. With the majority of web hosting corporations, you may obtain those 2 hosting services with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or some different CP, pre-installed on them. That will enable you to create various shared web hosting accounts and have full authority over both the clients and the server itself. In addition, on a dedicated server, you may set up different VPS web hosting server accounts and sell them to your customers. A single dedicated hosting web server may hold thousands of virtual web server accounts, based on the server's specs. This will enable you to provide a more extensive assortment of web hosting solutions to your customers, which will provide you with more options when advertising your web storefront. Surely, using a virtual private hosting server or a dedicated web hosting server for web hosting reseller goals is much more costly than using an average web hosting reseller user account. That's why, this opportunity should be examined only on condition that the hosting reseller has enough understanding and training needed to manage a server, otherwise it's advisable to either sign up for a normal web hosting reseller program, or for the abovementioned Free Reseller Program provided by ResellersPanel.com, which requires less dedication from the reseller.
