How Reseller Hosting Works

There are a lot of ways of generating cash on the web and one of them is to sell the website hosting services provided by a particular hosting provider. This provides countless options for everybody who would like to gain supplementary profit. There are various kinds of reseller hosting solutions, based on the web hosting reseller's degree of participation and, of course, on the company that offers the service. Before going into that, let us first check out

What is a reseller hosting service?

A reseller hosting solution is a sort of hosting user account, which allows the user to create separate subaccounts that can be sold to various customers. This is mainly carried out by granting the user access to a master reseller hosting account, via which he can create different hosting accounts utilizing the hosting server disk storage space provided by the reseller hosting package, for which he pays a certain fee. This is much similar to the shared hosting solution and precisely like it, with most reseller hosting programs, numerous reseller web hosting accounts share one and the very same hosting server and do not receive root-level access to the server configuration files. Such reseller web hosting programs are typically not that costly. Yet, they do restrain the resellers from delivering other forms of web hosting services aside from shared hosting packages.

Different kinds of reseller hosting solutions

Aside from the abovementioned manner of reseller hosting plans, there are also a few different ways that work just as good. However, they vary with respect to the levels of participation and the amount of money that each of them demands. As mentioned above, the most popular way of selling web hosting solutions gives you limited alternatives and you risk forfeiting your investment if things don't work out. This is the reason why, bigger hosting distributors such as ResellersPanel.com provide different modes of selling web hosting packages without the need to pay for anything upfront, or to even cope with the provision of technical and billing support. With their web hosting reseller program, the hosting reseller registers free of charge and designates his very own retail prices for the hosting packages, which are being offered directly from his web storefront. Because invoicing transactions are tackled by ResellersPanel.com's personnel, the customer does not need to buy the service beforehand. He's simply going to receive the difference between the retail price and the wholesale price in the form of a commission. The reseller also has the possibility to sell web hosting services such as VPS web hosting, semi-dedicated web hosting and dedicated web hosting. More or less, his duty involves promoting the service and providing support to the end customers and with hosting firms that do not demand preliminary fees and tackle the invoicing and customer support provision, the sole assignment left for the hosting reseller will be to promote his personal brand's online storefront. Another option will be to create different accounts on a virtual private web hosting server, or on a dedicated web hosting server. With the majority of service providers, you may receive those 2 hosting solutions with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or another hosting Control Panel, pre-installed on them. That will allow you to set up different shared web hosting plans and exercise total authority over both the customers and the server itself. Moreover, on a dedicated hosting server, you may create separate private virtual hosting server accounts and resell them to your clients. One dedicated hosting server may stash thousands of virtual private hosting server accounts, based on the web server's specs. This will permit you to offer a bigger assortment of hosting solutions to your clients, which will provide you with more options when popularizing your online storefront. Certainly, using a virtual private web hosting server or a dedicated hosting server for reseller hosting goals is much more costly than having a conventional reseller hosting user account. Due to this reason, this option should be contemplated only if the hosting reseller has sufficient ability and practice demanded to administer a web server, otherwise it's advisable to either sign up for an average reseller hosting program, or for the already mentioned Free Reseller Program offered by ResellersPanel.com, which requests less commitment from the web hosting reseller.
