What is Reseller Hosting?
There are plenty of means of earning cash online and one of them is to resell the shared hosting solutions offered by a particular hosting packages provider. This offers infinite possibilities for everyone who desires to earn more revenue. There are several sorts of reseller hosting services, depending on the web hosting reseller's degree of involvement and, of course, on the hosting distributor that offers the hosting service. Before going into that, let us first explore
What is a reseller hosting solution?
A reseller hosting service is a type of web hosting user account, which allows the user to set up different sub-accounts that can be offered to various customers. This is generally achieved by offering the reseller access to a master reseller hosting account, via which he can set up various hosting accounts using the web server hard drive storage space provided by the reseller hosting package, for which he pays a given price. This is much similar to the shared hosting solution and precisely like it, with most reseller hosting programs, many reseller accounts share a single hosting server and are not given full root-level access to the web server config files. Such reseller programs are generally not that costly. However, they do prevent the web hosting resellers from furnishing other kinds of hosting solutions except shared packages.
Various kinds of reseller hosting solutions
Aside from the aforementioned method of reseller hosting plans, there are also a few different ways that work just as fine. However, they vary in terms of the levels of involvement and the amount of cash that each one of them presupposes. As already mentioned, the most common way of selling hosting solutions offers you restricted opportunities and you risk forfeiting your money if things go wrong. This is why, bigger companies like ResellersPanel.com provide alternative modes of selling hosting plans without the need to purchase anything in advance, or to even deal with the provision of customer and billing support. With their hosting reseller program, the hosting reseller registers free of cost and chooses his own personal retail prices for the web hosting solutions, which are being sold straight from his web store. Because invoicing transactions are taken care of by ResellersPanel.com's personnel, the reseller does not have to purchase the service in advance. He's only going to get the difference between the retail and the wholesale price as a commission. The web hosting reseller also has the opportunity to resell hosing solutions like virtual private servers packages, semi-dedicated server packages and dedicated server. More or less, his job entails advertising the service and providing support to the end customers and with hosting companies that do not demand upfront installments and cope with the invoicing and client support provision, the only task left for the reseller will be to advertise his personal brand's online store. Another alternative will be to create different user accounts on a private virtual server, or on a dedicated web server. With the majority of web 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 web hosting accounts and exercise full control over both the customers and the hosting server itself. Moreover, on a dedicated web server, you may create various Virtual Private Server web hosting accounts and resell them to your clients. One single dedicated web server may shelter 1000's of virtual web server hosting accounts, based on the web server's architecture. This will allow you to offer a more extensive variety of hosting services to your customers, which will offer you more opportunities when popularizing your web store. Surely, utilizing a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated web server for reseller hosting purposes is much more costly than utilizing a standard reseller hosting user account. Therefore, this opportunity should be contemplated only if the reseller has sufficient understanding and training required to administer a web hosting server, otherwise it's recommended to either opt for a conventional reseller hosting program, or for the aforementioned Free Reseller Program courtesy of ResellersPanel.com, which demands less participation from the reseller.
