What is Reseller Hosting?
There are a lot of means of making cash on the World Wide Web and one of them is to sell the shared hosting solutions furnished by a specific web hosting plans provider. This offers unlimited possibilities for everybody who wants to earn additional money. There are different varieties of reseller hosting solutions, depending on the web hosting reseller's level of participation and, of course, on the host that offers the service. Prior to looking into that, let us first examine
What is a reseller hosting service?
A reseller hosting solution is a type of hosting user account, which permits the reseller to create various sub-accounts that can be sold to various customers. This is commonly achieved by supplying the reseller with access to a master reseller hosting account, via which he can create different hosting accounts utilizing the hosting server disk drive space included in the reseller hosting plan, for which he pays a given fee. This is much similar to the shared hosting solution and exactly like it, with most reseller hosting programs, lots of reseller hosting accounts share one and the very same web server and do not get root-level access to the server configuration files. Such hosting reseller programs are generally not that costly. Still, they do prevent the web hosting resellers from furnishing other sorts of web hosting services except shared packages.
Different kinds of reseller hosting services
Beside the aforementioned way of reseller hosting plans, there are also a few different setups that work just as fine. However, they contrast in terms of the degrees of participation and the amount of funds that each one of them involves. As mentioned above, the most popular mode of reselling hosting services gives you limited possibilities and you risk forfeiting your money if things don't work out. Because of this reason, bigger hosting suppliers such as ResellersPanel.com offer alternative modes of reselling web hosting plans without having to purchase anything upfront, or to even get involved in the provision of technical and billing support. With their web hosting reseller program, the reseller subscribes for free and sets his own retail prices for the web hosting services, which are being offered straight from his online storefront. As billing 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 only going to receive the difference between the retail and the wholesale price as a commission. The hosting reseller also has the chance to supply web hosting solutions like virtual private servers plans, semi-dedicated server plans and dedicated server. More or less, his duty entails promoting the web hosting service and providing support to the end clients and with web hosts that do not request preliminary installments and tackle the invoicing and customer support provision, the sole task left for the reseller will be to promote his private brand's online storefront. Another alternative will be to set up separate user accounts on a VPS web server, or on a dedicated hosting server. With most hosts, you may get those two web hosting solutions with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or some different CP, already installed on them. That will permit you to create various shared hosting packages and have full authority over both the customers and the web hosting server itself. Also, on a dedicated hosting web server, you may create various VPS web hosting accounts and offer them to your clients. One single dedicated server may accommodate thousands of virtual private hosting server accounts, based on the web server's capacity. This will permit you to sell a more extensive array of web hosting solutions to your customers, which will provide you with more alternatives when popularizing your online store. Of course, utilizing a virtual private hosting server or a dedicated server for reseller hosting objectives is much more expensive than using an ordinary reseller hosting account. Hence, this option should be examined only in case the hosting reseller has enough understanding and practice demanded to handle a web hosting server, otherwise it's advisable to either register for a normal reseller hosting program, or for the aforementioned Free Reseller Program provided by ResellersPanel.com, which requires less participation from the web hosting reseller.
