Explanation of Web Hosting Reseller
The World Wide Web is an indispensable part of everybody's daily life. Everyone would like to own their very own site, whether for entertainment, for socialization or business ends. The web hosting business is blooming. Why don't you take a chunk of the pie yourself?
What can you resell?
The majority of the providers provide Linux-driven web hosting solutions. Linux is a multi-user Operating System, which is very apt for both dedicated hosting and shared hosting servers. The usual web hosting reseller scheme that vendors provide is the cPanel one, as the cPanel Control Panel software tool includes three access levels - root (meant for the web hosting vendor itself), reseller (that is where you enter) and user (for your customers). Although some do permit overselling, in most circumstances you are restricted by the server disk storage space and bandwidth quota restrictions of your web hosting reseller package. It is like a sphere, which you fill up with smaller spheres - when you have filled it all up, you cannot add more.
Resell VPS hosting plans or dedicated server web hosting packages
The bigger part of the hosting service providers providing VPS hosting plans and dedicated hosting do not really mind if you utilize the VPS web server or the dedicated hosting web server to sell website hosting accounts. If you choose to sell hosting accounts availing of a dedicated web server, you will have full control over the whole physical machine, the possibility to perform any config adjustments you deem necessary and the ability to keep track of all the hosting account owners hosted on it. The private virtual servers offer similar features, but in most instances you cannot implement any kernel modifications or changes, which involve kernel module reconfiguration. The best web hosting CP interface that enables you to resell hosting accounts availing of your dedicated or VPS web hosting server is, once again, cPanel, although you can also use DirectAdmin, depending on which CP graphical user interface fulfills your anticipations better.
What do you require to be a reseller?
In order to become a web hosting reseller and commence your web hosting business, you require a web site, a billing software system, a merchant account with a payment processor such as PayPal, WorldPay, MoneyBookers, 2CheckOut, and so on, and an SSL certificate to make certain that your clients' data is safe when they pay via your web site when purchasing a product. Popular billing software systems that you can make use of are WHMCS, AWBS and ClientExec. The guys at ResellersPanel, however, give you a charge-free web hosting reseller account with all that included in it - a ready-to-use web site, a billing system and even support for your customers. Their web hosting reseller program is unique on the market, since they charge and support your customers for you, and permit you to sell our hosting services without having to buy anything in advance yourself. Moreover, they allow you to resell all their products - shared web hosting solutions, VPS servers, semi-dedicated and dedicated web hosting plans. You can sell all of these to your customers using a ready-for-use web template. The profit you make is basically the difference between their wholesale price and the price you specify yourself, so all you need to do is be a decent marketing tactician and entice customers. If that is a little too innovative for you, they still supply shared cPanel web hosting reseller plans, as most reseller web hosting providers do, and you can always obtain a VPS hosting server or a dedicated web server and split it into web hosting accounts, which you can promote yourself. The presents offered by their cPanel web hosting reseller plans will make your reseller life easier as well - they offer ClientExec in order to bill and support your clients, a variety of web page layouts and even a cost-free eNom reseller account.
