What is Reseller Web Hosting?
There are plenty of ways of earning cash online and one of them is to sell the shared hosting solutions provided by a particular web hosting company. This presents immense options for everyone who desires to generate additional profit. There are various types of reseller web hosting services, based on the web hosting reseller's level of commitment and, of course, on the web hosting service provider that offers the web hosting service. Before going into that, let's first analyze
What is a reseller web hosting service?
A reseller web hosting service is a type of hosting account, which permits the user to set up various sub-accounts that can be offered to various clients. This is mostly accomplished by giving the user access to a master reseller web hosting account, through which he can set up various hosting accounts utilizing the data storage space included in the reseller web hosting package, for which he pays a certain charge. This is much similar to the shared web hosting service and exactly like it, with the majority of reseller web hosting programs, many reseller web hosting accounts share the same web hosting server and are not bestowed with complete root access to the web server configuration files. Such hosting reseller programs are generally not that expensive. Yet, they do deter the hosting resellers from reselling other sorts of hosting services aside from shared hosting packages.
Different sorts of reseller web hosting services
Beside the aforementioned method of reseller web hosting packages, there are also several other schemes that work just as good. However, they contrast with respect to the degrees of involvement and the amount of money that each of them entails. As stated above, the most common way of reselling hosting solutions offers you limited alternatives and you risk losing your capital if things don't work out. This is why, bigger web hosting service providers such as ResellersPanel.com offer alternative ways of reselling web hosting plans without the need to buy anything upfront, or to even be responsible for the provision of technical and billing support. With their program, the hosting reseller signs up for free and defines his own personal retail prices for the web hosting plans, which are being offered directly from his web store. As invoicing transactions are taken care of by ResellersPanel.com's personnel, the reseller does not need to buy the service upfront. He's only going to receive the difference between the retail and the wholesale price in the form of a commission. The reseller also has the option to offer hosing solutions such as VPS hosting, semi-dedicated hosting and dedicated hosting. More or less, his duty comes down to promoting the hosting service and providing support to the end clients and with hosts that do not require preliminary charges and take care of the invoicing and client support provision, the sole assignment left for the reseller will be to popularize his private brand's web store. Another option will be to create different accounts on a VPS, or on a dedicated server. With most web hosting service providers, you may obtain those two web hosting services with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or some different hosting Control Panel, pre-installed on them. That will allow you to create various shared hosting plans and exert complete authority over both the customers and the web hosting server itself. Additionally, on a dedicated hosting web server, you may set up separate virtual web hosting server accounts and sell them to your clients. A single dedicated hosting web server may hold 1000's of virtual web server accounts, depending on the server's capacity. This will enable you to provide a larger array of hosting services to your customers, which will present you with more opportunities when promoting your online store. Surely, utilizing a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated web server for reseller web hosting aims is much more expensive than having an average reseller web hosting user account. Thus, this option should be examined only if the hosting reseller has enough understanding and practice necessary to manage a hosting server, otherwise it's recommendable to either sign up for an average reseller web hosting program, or for the abovementioned Free Reseller Program provided by ResellersPanel.com, which requires less dedication from the reseller.
