Reseller Web Hosting Description

There are many means of generating revenue on the web and one of them is to resell the shared web hosting solutions provided by a certain web hosting supplier. This provides infinite possibilities for everyone who desires to gain supplementary revenue. There are different types of reseller web hosting services, depending on the reseller's level of responsibility and, of course, on the provider that offers the hosting service. Prior to looking into that, let's first check out

What is a reseller web hosting service?

A reseller web hosting service is a sort of web hosting user account, which allows the reseller to set up separate sub-accounts that can be resold to various clients. This is usually accomplished by offering the reseller access to a master reseller web hosting account, through which he can set up separate web hosting accounts availing of the hosting server hard disk storage space provided by the reseller web hosting package, for which he pays a certain charge. This is much similar to the shared web hosting solution and precisely like it, with the majority of reseller web hosting programs, a lot of web hosting reseller accounts share one and the same web hosting server and are not furnished with complete root-level access to the web server config files. Such reseller programs are usually not that costly. Still, they do prevent the hosting resellers from delivering other forms of web hosting solutions except shared web hosting packages.

Different sorts of reseller web hosting solutions

Apart from the already mentioned mode of reseller web hosting plans, there are also several different setups that work just as fine. Still, they differ in terms of the degrees of commitment and the amount of resources that each one of them involves. As already mentioned, the most popular mode of selling hosting solutions offers you restricted opportunities and you risk forfeiting your cash if things don't work out. Because of this, bigger hosting providers such as ResellersPanel.com provide alternative modes of selling web hosting packages without having to buy anything in advance, or to even cope with the provision of technical and billing support. With their program, the hosting reseller registers free of cost and specifies his very own retail prices for the hosting solutions, which are being sold directly from his online store. Because billing transactions are handled by ResellersPanel.com's team, the user does not need to purchase the service beforehand. He's just going to get the difference between the retail price and the wholesale price in the form of a commission. The reseller also has the chance to deliver web hosting solutions like VPS web hosting, semi-dedicated server web hosting and dedicated server web hosting. More or less, his job comes down to advertising the web hosting service and offering support to the end users and with web hosting distributors that do not require preliminary installments and tackle the billing and customer support provision, the sole responsibility left for the hosting reseller will be to advertise his private brand's online store. Another option will be to set up separate accounts on a virtual web hosting server, or on a dedicated hosting web server. With most web hosting providers, you may get those two hosting solutions with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or some different Control Panel, already installed on them. That will permit you to set up various shared hosting packages and have full control over both the customers and the web hosting server itself. Additionally, on a dedicated hosting server, you may set up separate virtual web server accounts and offer them to your clients. One single dedicated web hosting server may accommodate thousands of virtual private hosting server accounts, depending on the server's specs. This will allow you to provide a bigger array of web hosting services to your customers, which will provide you with more alternatives when popularizing your web store. Sure enough, using a virtual hosting server or a dedicated hosting server for reseller web hosting aims is much more costly than using a normal reseller web hosting user account. For this reason, this possibility should be examined only on condition that the web hosting reseller has sufficient ability and training required to handle a web hosting server, otherwise it's advisable to either register for an average reseller web hosting program, or for the aforementioned Free Reseller Program provided by ResellersPanel.com, which requires less participation from the reseller.
