Reseller Hosting Definition

There are lots of means of making cash on the Internet and one of them is to resell the web hosting services supplied by a given hosting supplier. This provides limitless opportunities for everyone who desires to gain more cash. There are different types of reseller hosting solutions, based on the hosting reseller's level of participation and, of course, on the web hosting vendor that provides the web hosting service. Before going into that, let's first analyze

What is a reseller hosting service?

A reseller hosting solution is a kind of web hosting account, which enables the user to create different subaccounts that can be sold to various customers. This is typically carried out by bestowing the user with access to a master reseller hosting account, through which he can set up various web hosting accounts using the hosting server storage space offered by the reseller hosting package, for which he pays a certain price. This is a lot similar to the shared hosting service and exactly like it, with most reseller hosting programs, multiple web hosting reseller accounts share one and the same server and are not provided with full server root access to the server configuration files. Such web hosting reseller programs are usually not that expensive. However, they do restrain the hosting resellers from offering other types of hosting services beside shared web hosting packages.

Different kinds of reseller hosting solutions

Apart from the abovementioned manner of reseller hosting plans, there are also a few different ways that work just as fine. However, they vary in terms of the levels of commitment and the amount of money that each of them necessitates. As already stated, the most common way of selling hosting services gives you limited options and you risk forfeiting your cash if things go wrong. That is why, larger hosting providers like ResellersPanel.com offer different modes of reselling web hosting packages without the need to purchase anything beforehand, or to even take care of the provision of client and billing support. With their hosting reseller program, the hosting reseller registers free of charge and puts his own retail prices for the web hosting solutions, which are being sold straight from his web storefront. As invoicing transactions are tackled by ResellersPanel.com's staff, the client does not need to purchase the service beforehand. He's merely going to receive the difference between the retail price and the wholesale price in the form of a commission. The reseller also has the option to deliver hosing services like VPS hosting plans, semi-dedicated hosting plans and dedicated hosting. More or less, his job involves popularizing the hosting service and providing support to the end users and with providers that do not request upfront charges and cope with the invoicing and client support provision, the only duty left for the hosting reseller will be to advertise his private brand's web store. Another option will be to create different user accounts on a private virtual hosting server, or on a dedicated hosting web server. With most web hosting providers, you may receive those two hosting services with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or some different CP, already installed on them. That will permit you to set up various shared web hosting accounts and have absolute control over both the clients and the web server itself. Moreover, on a dedicated hosting server, you may set up various private virtual server accounts and sell them to your customers. One dedicated server may host 1000's of private virtual server accounts, based on the server's specifications. This will enable you to offer a wider variety of hosting services to your customers, which will furnish you with more opportunities when promoting your online storefront. By all means, using a virtual server or a dedicated server for reseller hosting objectives is much more expensive than using a normal reseller hosting account. Therefore, this possibility should be considered only on condition that the reseller has enough ability and experience needed to manage a web hosting server, otherwise it's advisable to either register for a normal reseller hosting program, or for the aforementioned Free Reseller Program provided by ResellersPanel.com, which requests less commitment from the hosting reseller.
