Definition of Reseller Hosting

There are lots of means of making revenue online and one of them is to resell the shared hosting solutions offered by some hosting packages provider. This offers infinite opportunities for everybody who wants to earn additional money. There are various kinds of reseller hosting solutions, based on the web hosting reseller's level of participation and, of course, on the company that offers the web hosting service. Prior to going into that, let us first analyze

What is a reseller hosting solution?

A reseller hosting service is a type of hosting account, which enables the user to create different subaccounts that can be offered to different customers. This is normally achieved by giving the reseller access to a main reseller hosting account, via which he can create different web hosting accounts with the data storage space included in the reseller hosting plan, for which he pays a given fee. This is much similar to the shared web hosting service and exactly like it, with the majority of reseller hosting programs, a lot of hosting reseller accounts share one single server and are not furnished with root access to the web server configuration files. Such hosting reseller programs are generally not that costly. Yet, they do bar the web hosting resellers from reselling other forms of web hosting solutions aside from shared web hosting packages.

Different sorts of reseller hosting solutions

Apart from the abovementioned manner of reseller hosting packages, there are also several different schemes that work just as fine. However, they contrast in terms of the degrees of commitment and the amount of cash that each of them involves. As already mentioned, the most popular mode of selling web hosting solutions gives you restricted alternatives and you risk forfeiting your investment if things don't work out. That is why, larger hosting providers such as ResellersPanel.com provide alternative modes of reselling web hosting packages without having to pay for anything in advance, or to even become involved in the provision of client and billing support. With their reseller web hosting program, the web hosting reseller registers for free and determines his very own retail prices for the web hosting packages, which are being offered straight from his online storefront. Because billing transactions are taken care of by ResellersPanel.com's team, the user does not need to pay for the hosting service in advance. He's only going to obtain the difference between the retail price and the wholesale price as a commission. The web hosting reseller also has the opportunity to supply hosing services such as VPS hosting, semi-dedicated hosting and dedicated hosting. More or less, his job entails advertising the service and offering support to the end users and with hosting vendors that do not request upfront deposits and tackle the billing and client support provision, the only task left for the reseller will be to popularize his private brand's web store. Another alternative will be to create different user accounts on a virtual private web hosting server, or on a dedicated hosting server. With the majority of hosting providers, you may get those 2 web hosting services with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or some different hosting Control Panel, pre-installed on them. That will allow you to set up various shared hosting packages and exercise absolute authority over both the customers and the web hosting server itself. Moreover, on a dedicated web server, you may set up separate VPS web hosting server accounts and sell them to your clients. One dedicated hosting web server may host 1000's of virtual server hosting accounts, based on the server's capacity. This will enable you to provide a greater array of hosting services to your clients, which will furnish you with more alternatives when promoting your web storefront. Sure enough, utilizing a VPS server or a dedicated web server for reseller hosting objectives is much more expensive than using a standard reseller hosting user account. That is the reason why, this possibility should be examined only if the hosting reseller has sufficient understanding and experience required to handle a web hosting server, otherwise it's recommended to either register for an average reseller hosting program, or for the abovementioned Free Reseller Program provided by ResellersPanel.com, which requests less participation from the reseller.
