Reseller Web Hosting Definition

The World Wide Web has become an integral staple in our daily life. Everyone would like to have their own personal web page, whether for enjoyment, for socialisation or commercial purposes. The hosting business niche is flourishing. Why not take a piece of the pie yourself?

What can you resell?

Most vendors deliver Linux-based hosting services. Linux is a multi-user OS, which is extremely apposite for both dedicated hosting and shared hosting servers. The typical reseller web hosting scheme that vendors provide is the cPanel one, since the cPanel hosting Control Panel GUI offers three access levels - root (designated for the web hosting provider itself), reseller (that is where you come in) and user (for your clients). Although some do allow overselling, in the majority of the cases you are bound by the hosting server hard disk space and web traffic quota limitations of your reseller web hosting package. It is like a sphere, which you stuff with smaller spheres - when you have stuffed it all up, you cannot add more.

Sell VPS plans or dedicated hosting web server accounts

The bigger part of the web hosting providers offering VPS plans and dedicated server do not really mind if you utilize the virtual server or the dedicated hosting server to sell hosting accounts. If you elect to sell website hosting accounts utilizing a dedicated hosting web server, you will have complete authority over the entire server, the possibility to make any configuration adjustments you desire and the possibility to monitor all the web hosting account owners hosted on it. The private virtual web hosting servers offer comparable options, but in most cases you cannot carry out any kernel changes or adjustments, which involve kernel module rearrangement. The finest hosting Control Panel user interface that permits you to sell web hosting accounts utilizing your dedicated hosting web server or VPS server is, again, cPanel, even though you can also make use of DirectAdmin, depending on which Control Panel GUI fits your desires better.

What do you need to become a reseller?

In order to become a web hosting reseller and launch your business, you demand a web site, an invoicing software platform, a merchant account with a payment processor such as PayPal, WorldPay, MoneyBookers, 2CheckOut, and so on, and a Secure Sockets Layer certificate to ensure that your clients' data is safe when they pay using your web site when ordering a hosting product. Famous billing software platforms that you can use are WHMCS, AWBS and ClientExec. The guys at ResellersPanel, however, give you a free reseller web hosting account with all that included in it - a ready-to-use website, a billing software system and even support for your clients. Their reseller web hosting program is unique on the market, since they charge and support your clients for you, and permit you to sell our hosting solutions without having to purchase anything beforehand yourself. Additionally, they permit you to sell all their web hosting products - shared website hosting packages, VPS servers, semi-dedicated and dedicated hosting plans. You can offer all of these to your clients via a turn-key web template. The profit you earn is basically the difference between their wholesale price and the price you determine yourself, so all you need to do is be a decent marketing strategist and lure customers. If that is a little too bold for you, they still deliver shared cPanel reseller web hosting plans, as most reseller web hosting companies do, and you can always acquire a VPS hosting server or a dedicated web server and split it into website hosting accounts, which you can offer yourself. The bonuses included in their cPanel reseller web hosting packages will render your reseller life easier as well - they offer ClientExec in order to bill and support your clients, a bunch of web page themes and even a cost-free eNom reseller account.
