What is Hosting Reseller?
The World Wide Web has become an indispensable element in everybody's daily life. Everybody would like to possess their own personal site, whether for pleasure, for socialisation or commercial purposes. The shared hosting industry is blooming. Why don't you take a share of the pie yourself?
What can you resell?
The majority of the vendors distribute Linux-powered hosting solutions. Linux is a multitasking platform, which is extremely apposite for both dedicated and shared hosting servers. The usual hosting reseller platform that providers provide is the cPanel one, because the cPanel hosting Control Panel software tool allows three levels of access - root (retained for the hosting distributor itself), reseller (that is where you enter) and user (for your clients). Although some do permit overselling, in the majority of the circumstances you are bound by the web hosting server hard drive storage space and traffic limits of your hosting reseller package. It is like a sphere, which you stuff with tinier spheres - when you have stuffed it all up, you cannot add more.
Offer VPS hosting or dedicated server solutions
Most of the web hosting service providers providing VPS hosting and dedicated hosting do not actually object if you utilize the private virtual web hosting server or the dedicated web server to resell hosting accounts. If you decide to resell website hosting accounts availing of a dedicated hosting web server, you will have total control over the whole machine, the ability to carry out any configuration changes you deem appropriate and the ability to keep an eye on all the customers hosted on it. The VPSs offer comparable specs, but in the majority of the cases you cannot perform any kernel adjustments or modifications, which require kernel module rearrangement. The finest web hosting Control Panel interface that allows you to sell website hosting accounts using your dedicated server or virtual web server is, again, cPanel, although you can also utilize DirectAdmin, depending on which Control Panel matches your anticipations better.
What do you require to become a web hosting reseller?
In order to be a hosting reseller and launch your web hosting business, you need a web site, a billing software system, a merchant account with a payment processor like PayPal, WorldPay, MoneyBookers, 2CheckOut, and so on, and an SSL certificate to guarantee that your customers' information is protected when they make payments via your website when ordering a hosting service. Well-known billing software platforms that you can avail of are WHMCS, AWBS and ClientExec. The guys at ResellersPanel, however, offer you a cost-free hosting reseller account with all that included in it - a ready-for-use website, a billing system and even technical support for your customers. Their hosting reseller program is unique on the marketplace, as they charge and support your clients on your behalf, and allow you to resell our web hosting services without the need to purchase anything beforehand yourself. What is more, they allow you to resell all their web hosting solutions - shared website hosting packages, virtual servers, semi-dedicated and dedicated hosting services. You can offer all of these to your customers via a ready-for-use website template. The profit you make is actually the difference between their wholesale price and the price you name yourself, so all you need to do is be a decent marketing strategist and earn customers. If that is a little too innovative for you, they still provide shared cPanel hosting reseller packages, as most reseller hosting companies do, and you can always order a virtual web hosting server or a dedicated web hosting server and divide it into website hosting accounts, which you can promote yourself.
