Reseller Web Hosting Explanation

There are a lot of ways of making profit on the Internet and one of them is to resell the hosting solutions furnished by a specific web hosting provider. This provides unlimited opportunities for everybody who would like to generate more revenue. There are several varieties of reseller web hosting services, based on the web hosting reseller's degree of participation and, of course, on the hosting vendor that provides the service. Before going into that, let's first examine

What is a reseller web hosting service?

A reseller web hosting service is a sort of web hosting user account, which permits the reseller to create separate sub-accounts that can be sold to various customers. This is normally carried out by providing the reseller with access to a main reseller web hosting account, through which he can create various hosting accounts utilizing the web hosting server storage space offered by the reseller web hosting package, for which he pays a given price. This is a lot like the shared web hosting service and precisely like it, with the majority of reseller web hosting programs, many web hosting reseller accounts share the same web hosting server and are not bestowed with complete root access to the server config files. Such reseller hosting programs are normally not that costly. However, they do impede the resellers from providing other sorts of hosting services apart from shared web hosting plans.

Various types of reseller web hosting services

Apart from the aforementioned mode of reseller web hosting plans, there are also several different schemes that work just as fine. Still, they differ in terms of the levels of commitment and the amount of funds that each of them entails. As already mentioned, the most common way of selling web hosting solutions offers you limited possibilities and you risk forfeiting your capital if things don't work out. For this reason, bigger providers such as ResellersPanel.com provide alternative modes of selling hosting packages without the need to purchase anything beforehand, or to even be involved in the provision of technical and billing support. With their hosting reseller program, the hosting reseller subscribes free of charge and fixes his own retail prices for the hosting services, which are being offered directly from his web store. Since invoicing transactions are handled by ResellersPanel.com's staff, the user does not have to buy the hosting service upfront. He's merely going to receive the difference between the retail price and the wholesale price as a commission. The hosting reseller also has the option to offer hosing services such as VPS services, semi-dedicated services and dedicated server. More or less, his job comes down to advertising the service and providing support to the end users and with web hosting companies that do not demand preliminary deposits and cope with the invoicing 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 set up separate accounts on a VPS hosting server, or on a dedicated hosting web server. With most hosting providers, you may obtain those two hosting services with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or another hosting Control Panel, already installed on them. That will allow you to set up different shared web hosting accounts and exert total control over both the users and the web hosting server itself. Also, on a dedicated hosting server, you may create various private virtual web server hosting accounts and sell them to your customers. One dedicated hosting web server may store 1000's of private virtual server web hosting accounts, based on the server's capacity. This will allow you to provide a bigger variety of web hosting solutions to your customers, which will offer you more possibilities when popularizing your web store. Surely, utilizing a virtual private hosting server or a dedicated web hosting server for reseller web hosting purposes is much more expensive than having an average reseller web hosting account. Hence, this opportunity should be examined only if the reseller has enough knowledge and training demanded to administer a hosting server, otherwise it's recommendable to either sign up for a standard reseller web hosting program, or for the aforementioned Free Reseller Program provided by ResellersPanel.com, which requires less dedication from the web hosting reseller.
