How Web Hosting Reseller Operates

There are a lot of means of generating revenue on the web and one of them is to sell the web hosting services provided by a specific hosting provider. This presents countless opportunities for everyone who would like to generate supplementary cash. There are several kinds of web hosting reseller solutions, depending on the hosting reseller's level of responsibility and, of course, on the web hosting company that offers the service. Before looking into that, let's first explore

What is a web hosting reseller solution?

A web hosting reseller service is a type of hosting user account, which enables the reseller to create different subaccounts that can be sold to different clients. This is normally accomplished by supplying the user with access to a main web hosting reseller account, via which he can create various web hosting accounts availing of the hosting server disk space provided by the web hosting reseller plan, for which he pays a certain charge. This is a lot like the shared web hosting solution and exactly like it, with the majority of web hosting reseller programs, lots of hosting reseller accounts share one single web hosting server and are not granted root-level access to the web server configuration files. Such hosting reseller programs are generally not that costly. Yet, they do impede the web hosting resellers from supplying other sorts of hosting services apart from shared packages.

Various types of web hosting reseller solutions

Apart from the already mentioned way of web hosting reseller accounts, there are also a few other setups that work just as fine. Yet, they contrast in terms of the degrees of commitment and the amount of cash that each one of them entails. As already mentioned, the most popular way of selling web hosting solutions gives you limited options and you risk losing your funds if things go wrong. Because of this reason, bigger hosting corporations like ResellersPanel.com offer alternative modes of selling web hosting accounts without having to buy anything beforehand, or to even be involved in the provision of customer and invoicing support. With their reseller hosting program, the web hosting reseller signs up free of cost and specifies his very own personal retail prices for the hosting packages, which are being sold directly from his web store. Because billing transactions are taken care of by ResellersPanel.com's personnel, the user does not have to purchase the web hosting service beforehand. He's simply going to get the difference between the retail price and the wholesale price in the form of a commission. The web hosting reseller also has the possibility to sell web hosting solutions such as VPS hosting plans, semi-dedicated hosting plans and dedicated hosting. More or less, his duty entails popularizing the web hosting service and providing support to the end clients and with hosting suppliers that do not demand preliminary deposits and take care of the invoicing and customer support provision, the sole responsibility left for the web hosting reseller will be to advertise his private brand's web storefront. Another option will be to create separate user accounts on a VPS server, or on a dedicated web server. With most hosting companies, you may get those two web hosting services with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or another web hosting Control Panel, pre-installed on them. That will permit you to set up various shared web hosting plans and exert complete control over both the clients and the web hosting server itself. In addition, on a dedicated web server, you may set up various private virtual server accounts and offer them to your customers. One single dedicated server may stash 1000's of virtual private web server hosting accounts, depending on the server's specs. This will enable you to provide a more extensive variety of hosting services to your clients, which will offer you more options when promoting your web store. Certainly, using a private virtual web server or a dedicated hosting web server for web hosting reseller objectives is much more expensive than utilizing a standard web hosting reseller user account. Thus, this option should be examined only if the reseller has enough knowledge and experience necessary to administer a server, otherwise it's recommendable to either register for a standard web hosting reseller program, or for the aforementioned Free Reseller Program courtesy of ResellersPanel.com, which requires less involvement from the web hosting reseller.
