What Actually is Reseller Web Hosting?
There are many ways of generating cash on the Internet and one of them is to resell the shared hosting services provided by a given web hosting services provider. This offers vast opportunities for everybody who desires to make more money. There are different sorts of reseller web hosting solutions, depending on the reseller's level of commitment and, of course, on the web hosting firm that offers the service. Before looking into that, let's first check out
What is a reseller web hosting solution?
A reseller web hosting service is a sort of web hosting user account, which allows the reseller to set up various sub-accounts that can be offered to different customers. This is mostly accomplished by providing the user with access to a master reseller web hosting account, via which he can set up different web hosting accounts with the server disk storage space provided by the reseller web hosting package, for which he pays a given charge. This is much like the shared web hosting solution and exactly like it, with the majority of reseller web hosting programs, a lot of web hosting reseller accounts share one and the very same server and are not bestowed with full root access to the web server configuration files. Such reseller web hosting programs are typically not that costly. However, they do bar the hosting resellers from offering other forms of web hosting services except shared plans.
Different types of reseller web hosting services
Apart from the aforementioned mode of reseller web hosting packages, there are also a few different setups that work just as fine. However, they vary in terms of the levels of commitment and the amount of resources that each of them entails. As stated above, the most popular way of reselling hosting services gives you limited possibilities and you risk forfeiting your cash if things don't go well. Due to this reason, larger hosts such as ResellersPanel.com offer different methods of selling hosting plans without the need to pay for anything in advance, or to even take care of the provision of customer and billing support. With their program, the web hosting reseller registers free of charge and puts his own personal retail prices for the hosting plans, which are being sold directly from his web store. Since billing transactions are tackled by ResellersPanel.com's team, the reseller does not have to buy the web hosting service upfront. He's merely going to receive the difference between the retail and the wholesale price as a commission. The reseller also has the option to deliver web hosting services like virtual private servers packages, semi-dedicated server packages and dedicated server. More or less, his job involves advertising the web hosting service and providing support to the end users and with companies that do not require preliminary payments and tackle the billing and technical support provision, the sole assignment left for the reseller will be to popularize his personal brand's web storefront. Another alternative will be to set up separate accounts on a private virtual web server, or on a dedicated hosting web server. With most web hosting service providers, you may get those two hosting solutions with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or some different Control Panel, pre-installed on them. That will permit you to set up different shared hosting accounts and exercise full control over both the users and the server itself. In addition, on a dedicated server, you may set up different VPS server accounts and sell them to your clients. A single dedicated hosting web server may store thousands of VPS web server accounts, based on the server's specifications. This will enable you to provide a more extensive array of hosting services to your clients, which will provide you with more alternatives when advertising your online storefront. Surely, utilizing a virtual web hosting server or a dedicated hosting server for reseller web hosting purposes is much more costly than utilizing an ordinary reseller web hosting account. So, this alternative should be examined only if the reseller has sufficient ability and training necessary to manage a web server, otherwise it's advisable to either opt for a normal reseller web hosting program, or for the abovementioned Free Reseller Program offered by ResellersPanel.com, which requests less involvement from the hosting reseller.
