How Does Web Hosting Reseller Work?

There are many ways of generating cash on the web and one of them is to resell the web hosting solutions offered by a given hosting company. This provides immeasurable possibilities for everybody who desires to earn additional money. There are different sorts of web hosting reseller services, depending on the hosting reseller's level of commitment and, of course, on the hosting company that provides the web hosting service. Before looking into that, let us first examine

What is a web hosting reseller service?

A web hosting reseller service is a kind of web hosting account, which permits the reseller to set up various subaccounts that can be sold to different clients. This is generally accomplished by supplying the reseller with access to a main web hosting reseller account, through which he can set up separate hosting accounts utilizing the hosting server hard drive space offered by the web hosting reseller plan, for which he pays a certain charge. This is much like the shared web hosting service and just like it, with most web hosting reseller programs, multiple hosting reseller accounts share the very same hosting server and are not furnished with complete root-level access to the server configuration files. Such reseller hosting programs are usually not that expensive. Yet, they do bar the hosting resellers from promoting other forms of web hosting solutions apart from shared web hosting plans.

Different kinds of web hosting reseller solutions

Aside from the already mentioned method of web hosting reseller plans, there are also a few other setups that work just as fine. However, they contrast with respect to the degrees of commitment and the amount of resources that each of them necessitates. As mentioned above, the most popular mode of reselling hosting services offers you restricted possibilities and you risk forfeiting your cash if things don't work out. That's why, bigger web hosting vendors like ResellersPanel.com offer different methods of reselling web hosting packages without having to purchase anything in advance, or to even take care of the provision of customer and billing support. With their reseller hosting program, the hosting reseller registers free of charge and sets his very own retail prices for the hosting plans, which are being sold straight from his online storefront. Since billing transactions are taken care of by ResellersPanel.com's staff, the client does not have to purchase the web hosting service beforehand. He's simply going to get the difference between the retail and the wholesale price as a commission. The reseller also has the possibility to sell web hosting solutions such as VPS hosting plans, semi-dedicated hosting plans and dedicated hosting. More or less, his job entails popularizing the hosting service and offering support to the end users and with hosting corporations that do not demand upfront installments and take care of the billing and technical support provision, the sole responsibility left for the web hosting reseller will be to promote his personal brand's web store. Another option will be to create different user accounts on a Virtual Private Server, or on a dedicated hosting server. With most hosting suppliers, you may get those 2 web hosting services with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or some other web hosting CP, already installed on them. That will enable you to create different shared web hosting plans and exert absolute control over both the clients and the web hosting server itself. Additionally, on a dedicated web hosting server, you may set up various virtual web hosting server accounts and offer them to your clients. A single dedicated hosting web server may store 1000's of virtual server hosting accounts, based on the server's architecture. This will permit you to deliver a wider variety of hosting solutions to your customers, which will give you more possibilities when popularizing your online store. Certainly, utilizing a virtual hosting server or a dedicated web server for web hosting reseller objectives is much more costly than utilizing a regular web hosting reseller account. Due to this reason, this opportunity should be considered only in case the hosting reseller has enough ability and experience necessary to handle a web hosting server, otherwise it's recommended to either opt for a conventional web hosting reseller program, or for the abovementioned Free Reseller Program provided by ResellersPanel.com, which requires less involvement from the reseller.
