What Indeed is Web Hosting Reseller?

There are a lot of means of gaining money on the web and one of them is to sell the web hosting solutions provided by a given hosting provider. This presents endless possibilities for everyone who desires to earn more profit. There are various varieties of web hosting reseller services, based on the reseller's level of involvement and, of course, on the hosting service provider that provides the hosting service. Prior to looking into that, let us first discuss

What is a web hosting reseller solution?

A web hosting reseller solution is a kind of web hosting user account, which permits the user to set up separate subaccounts that can be sold to various customers. This is mainly achieved by providing the user with access to a master web hosting reseller account, through which he can create various web hosting accounts availing of the server disk drive storage space offered by the web hosting reseller package, for which he pays a given fee. This is much similar to the shared web hosting service and precisely like it, with the majority of web hosting reseller programs, a lot of web hosting reseller accounts share the very same hosting server and do not obtain full root-level access to the server config files. Such reseller hosting programs are normally not that costly. Yet, they do deter the hosting resellers from reselling other types of hosting services apart from shared web hosting plans.

Various forms of web hosting reseller solutions

Beside the already mentioned way of web hosting reseller plans, there are also a few other schemes that work just as fine. Still, they vary with respect to the degrees of involvement and the budget amount that each one of them involves. As already stated, the most common mode of reselling web hosting services offers you restricted options and you risk losing your funds if things go wrong. That is why, larger hosting suppliers such as ResellersPanel.com provide alternative modes of selling hosting accounts without the need to pay for anything upfront, or to even get involved in the provision of customer and invoicing support. With their program, the web hosting reseller subscribes for free and chooses his very own retail prices for the web hosting solutions, which are being offered straight from his online store. Since invoicing transactions are taken care of by ResellersPanel.com's staff, the customer does not have to pay for the hosting service beforehand. He's merely going to obtain the difference between the retail and the wholesale price in the form of a commission. The reseller also has the option to resell hosing solutions like VPS web hosting, semi-dedicated web hosting and dedicated web hosting. More or less, his job comes down to promoting the web hosting service and offering support to the end customers and with hosting providers that do not demand upfront payments and are responsible for the billing and technical support provision, the sole task left for the web hosting reseller will be to advertise his private brand's web store. Another alternative will be to create different accounts on a VPS, or on a dedicated server. With the majority of hosting providers, you may receive those two hosting services with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or another CP, pre-installed on them. That will allow you to set up various shared web hosting accounts and exert absolute control over both the users and the server itself. Moreover, on a dedicated web server, you may set up different virtual private web hosting server accounts and sell them to your customers. One dedicated server may stash thousands of VPS web server hosting accounts, depending on the web server's architecture. This will enable you to offer a greater array of web hosting services to your customers, which will provide you with more options when popularizing your web store. Certainly, utilizing a private virtual hosting server or a dedicated hosting web server for web hosting reseller objectives is much more costly than using a conventional web hosting reseller account. That is the reason why, this alternative should be considered only if the web hosting reseller has enough ability and training necessary to handle a web server, otherwise it's advisable to either sign up for a regular web hosting reseller program, or for the aforementioned Free Reseller Program courtesy of ResellersPanel.com, which requires less participation from the reseller.
