What is Web Hosting Reseller?

There are many ways of generating money on the web and one of them is to resell the shared hosting solutions offered by a given web hosting solutions provider. This provides immeasurable possibilities for everyone who wishes to earn extra revenue. There are different sorts of web hosting reseller solutions, based on the hosting reseller's level of involvement and, of course, on the web host that provides the service. Prior to going into that, let's first discuss

What is a web hosting reseller service?

A web hosting reseller solution is a sort of hosting account, which permits the reseller to set up various subaccounts that can be offered to different clients. This is normally accomplished by providing the reseller with access to a master web hosting reseller account, through which he can create different web hosting accounts availing of the data storage space offered by the web hosting reseller plan, for which he pays a certain tax. This is a lot like the shared hosting solution and just like it, with the majority of web hosting reseller programs, numerous hosting reseller accounts share the very same web server and are not supplied with root access to the web server configuration files. Such reseller hosting programs are typically not that expensive. Still, they do hinder the resellers from distributing other kinds of web hosting services aside from shared hosting plans.

Various forms of web hosting reseller solutions

Aside from the already mentioned mode of web hosting reseller packages, there are also several other ways that work just as good. Yet, they differ with respect to the degrees of commitment and the amount of money that each of them necessitates. As mentioned above, the most popular way of selling web hosting services gives you restricted possibilities and you risk losing your investment if things go wrong. This is why, bigger service providers such as ResellersPanel.com provide alternative methods of reselling web hosting plans without having to buy anything upfront, or to even become involved in the provision of client and invoicing support. With their web hosting reseller program, the web hosting reseller registers for free and designates his own retail prices for the solutions, which are being sold directly from his online storefront. Because invoicing transactions are taken care of by ResellersPanel.com's personnel, the client does not need to buy the service beforehand. He's only going to receive the difference between the retail price and the wholesale price as a commission. The hosting reseller also has the chance to sell web hosting solutions like VPS hosting, semi-dedicated hosting and dedicated hosting. More or less, his job entails promoting the web hosting service and offering support to the end clients and with hosts that do not demand upfront charges and deal with the invoicing and technical support provision, the sole task left for the hosting reseller will be to popularize his personal brand's online store. Another possibility will be to create separate accounts on a virtual private web server, or on a dedicated web server. With most hosting firms, you may get those 2 web hosting services with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or some other web hosting Control Panel, already installed on them. That will permit you to set up various shared hosting packages and exert full authority over both the clients and the web server itself. Additionally, on a dedicated web server, you may create different virtual web hosting server accounts and offer them to your customers. A single dedicated web server may stash thousands of private virtual web hosting server accounts, based on the web server's architecture. This will permit you to provide a wider variety of services to your clients, which will provide you with more options when promoting your web store. Surely, using a virtual hosting server or a dedicated hosting web server for web hosting reseller objectives is much more expensive than having a conventional web hosting reseller account. That's why, this possibility should be examined only if the reseller has sufficient understanding and practice necessary to administer a web server, otherwise it's recommended to either register for an ordinary web hosting reseller program, or for the already mentioned Free Reseller Program courtesy of ResellersPanel.com, which requests less dedication from the reseller.
