What In Fact is Reseller Hosting?

The World Wide Web is an indispensable factor in our everyday routine. Everyone desires to possess their own web page, whether for enjoyment, for socialization or business ends. The hosting industry niche is thriving. Why not get a slice of the pie yourself?

What can you resell?

The majority of the vendors supply Linux-based web hosting services. Linux is a multi-user Operating System, which is extremely suited for both dedicated and shared web hosting servers. The typical reseller hosting scheme that providers offer is the cPanel one, as the cPanel hosting CP graphical user interface includes 3 access levels - root (intended for the web hosting distributor itself), reseller (that is where you enter) and user (for your clients). Although some do allow overselling, in the majority of the cases you are restricted by the hosting server hard disk space and bandwidth quota restrictions of your reseller hosting plan. It is like a sphere, which you stuff with tinier spheres - when you have stuffed it all up, you cannot add more.

Sell VPS plans or dedicated hosting server packages

The greater part of the web hosting providers offering VPS plans and dedicated server do not actually mind if you utilize the virtual hosting server or the dedicated web hosting server to sell hosting accounts. If you opt to sell website hosting accounts availing of a dedicated web server, you will have total control over the entire server, the possibility to implement any config changes you deem fit and the possibility to keep track of all the hosting account owners hosted on it. The private virtual servers offer similar options, but in the majority of the instances you cannot implement any kernel modifications or adjustments, which require kernel module reconfiguration. The best web hosting CP graphical user interface that permits you to resell website hosting accounts using your dedicated or private virtual hosting server is, again, cPanel, even though you can also make use of DirectAdmin, depending on which CP user interface meets your needs better.

What do you need to become a hosting reseller?

In order to be a reseller and launch your hosting business, you need a web site, a billing software system, a merchant account with an online payment processor like PayPal, WorldPay, MoneyBookers, 2CheckOut, and so on, and a Secure Sockets Layer certificate to ensure that your customers' details are defended when they make payments via your website when buying a web hosting product. Popular billing software systems that you can make use of are WHMCS, AWBS and ClientExec. The guys at ResellersPanel, however, give you a free-of-charge reseller hosting account with all that included in it - a ready-for-use website, an invoicing system and even support for your customers. Their reseller hosting program is unique on the marketplace, as they bill and support your clients for you, and allow you to resell our hosting services without having to purchase anything beforehand yourself. What is more, they permit you to resell all their web hosting solutions - shared web hosting packages, VPS servers, semi-dedicated and dedicated web hosting services. You can sell all of these to your customers using a ready-for-use site template. The profit you gain is in fact the difference between their wholesale price and the price you settle yourself, so all you have to do is be a decent marketing strategist and find clients. If that is a little too bold for you, they still offer shared cPanel reseller hosting plans, as most reseller web hosting providers do, and you can always order a virtual server or a dedicated hosting server and partition it into hosting accounts, which you can sell yourself. The bonuses coming with their cPanel reseller hosting packages will make your reseller life easier too - they provide you with ClientExec in order to bill and support your clients, a collection of web design themes and even a free-of-cost eNom reseller account.
