Reseller Web Hosting Definition
There are lots of ways of making cash on the web and one of them is to resell the shared web hosting services supplied by some web hosting packages provider. This offers countless options for everybody who desires to make more cash. There are different kinds of reseller web hosting solutions, based on the hosting reseller's level of commitment and, of course, on the hosting service provider that provides the service. Prior to going into that, let's first discuss
What is a reseller web hosting service?
A reseller web hosting solution is a sort of hosting account, which enables the user to set up various subaccounts that can be offered to various clients. This is usually achieved by providing the user with access to a main reseller web hosting account, through which he can create different hosting accounts using the web hosting server disk storage space offered by the reseller web hosting plan, for which he pays a certain tax. This is a lot like the shared hosting service and exactly like it, with most reseller web hosting programs, many reseller web hosting accounts share the same server and do not receive full server root access to the server config files. Such web hosting reseller programs are normally not that costly. Yet, they do deter the hosting resellers from promoting other kinds of hosting services aside from shared packages.
Various sorts of reseller web hosting services
Apart from the abovementioned manner of reseller web hosting plans, there are also a few other setups that work just as good. Still, they vary in terms of the levels of participation and the amount of resources that each one of them demands. As already mentioned, the most common way of reselling web hosting services gives you restricted alternatives and you risk forfeiting your money if things don't go well. Because of this reason, bigger providers such as ResellersPanel.com offer different modes of selling hosting plans without having to buy anything upfront, or to even be involved in the provision of customer and billing support. With their web hosting reseller program, the reseller registers free of charge and determines his own retail prices for the services, which are being offered directly from his online store. As invoicing transactions are tackled by ResellersPanel.com's staff, the user does not have to buy the service upfront. He's merely going to obtain the difference between the retail and the wholesale price in the form of a commission. The web hosting reseller also has the chance to resell web hosting solutions such as VPS web hosting, semi-dedicated server web hosting and dedicated server web hosting. More or less, his job entails popularizing the web hosting service and providing support to the end clients and with hosting vendors that do not request upfront deposits and cope with the invoicing and technical support provision, the only responsibility left for the web hosting reseller will be to promote his personal brand's web storefront. Another option will be to create separate accounts on a virtual server, or on a dedicated web hosting server. With most web hosting firms, you may obtain those 2 web hosting solutions with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or another web hosting Control Panel, pre-installed on them. That will allow you to create different shared web hosting plans and exercise absolute control over both the clients and the web server itself. What is more, on a dedicated web hosting server, you may create different private virtual server web hosting accounts and sell them to your clients. One dedicated hosting web server may store thousands of VPS server hosting accounts, depending on the server's configuration. This will permit you to offer a wider array of hosting services to your customers, which will offer you more options when popularizing your online store. Of course, using a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated hosting server for reseller web hosting objectives is much more expensive than utilizing an average reseller web hosting account. For this reason, this possibility should be examined only on condition that the reseller has sufficient understanding and practice necessary to handle a web hosting server, otherwise it's recommendable to either register for a standard reseller web hosting program, or for the abovementioned Free Reseller Program offered by ResellersPanel.com, which demands less involvement from the web hosting reseller.
