Reseller Hosting Defined

There are plenty of means of gaining profit on the Internet and one of them is to sell the web hosting solutions offered by a particular company. This presents immense possibilities for everyone who desires to gain supplementary cash. There are different varieties of reseller hosting services, depending on the reseller's degree of participation and, of course, on the service provider that provides the web hosting service. Before looking into that, let us first check out

What is a reseller hosting solution?

A reseller hosting service is a type of web hosting user account, which allows the reseller to set up different sub-accounts that can be sold to different customers. This is mostly accomplished by supplying the user with access to a main reseller hosting account, via which he can create separate hosting accounts using the web server hard drive storage space offered by the reseller hosting plan, for which he pays a given fee. This is much like the shared web hosting solution and just like it, with the majority of reseller hosting programs, a lot of hosting reseller accounts share one web server and do not obtain root access to the web server configuration files. Such reseller programs are normally not that costly. Yet, they do restrain the web hosting resellers from supplying other forms of web hosting services beside shared web hosting packages.

Various kinds of reseller hosting solutions

Beside the aforementioned way of reseller hosting plans, there are also several other schemes that work just as fine. Still, they differ in terms of the levels of commitment and the amount of cash that each of them demands. As stated above, the most common way of reselling hosting services offers you limited alternatives and you risk losing your capital if things don't go well. For that reason, larger web hosting providers like ResellersPanel.com provide alternative ways of selling hosting packages without having to buy anything beforehand, or to even become involved in the provision of client and billing support. With their program, the reseller signs up free of cost and chooses his own personal retail prices for the hosting services, which are being sold straight from his web storefront. Because invoicing transactions are handled by ResellersPanel.com's team, the customer does not need to pay for the service in advance. He's just going to receive the difference between the retail and the wholesale price as a commission. The reseller also has the chance to deliver hosing solutions like VPS web hosting, semi-dedicated web hosting and dedicated web hosting. More or less, his job entails popularizing the service and offering support to the end clients and with hosting distributors that do not demand preliminary charges and tackle the invoicing and technical support provision, the only assignment left for the web hosting reseller will be to popularize his private brand's online store. Another possibility will be to set up separate user accounts on a VPS server, or on a dedicated hosting server. With the majority of web hosting distributors, you may obtain those 2 web hosting solutions with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or some different Control Panel, pre-installed on them. That will permit you to create different shared hosting plans and exert complete control over both the clients and the web hosting server itself. Additionally, on a dedicated web server, you may create separate Virtual Private Server web hosting accounts and resell them to your customers. One single dedicated hosting server may accommodate thousands of VPS web hosting accounts, based on the web server's architecture. This will allow you to provide a larger variety of hosting solutions to your clients, which will give you more opportunities when promoting your online storefront. Surely, using a virtual private web hosting server or a dedicated server for reseller hosting objectives is much more expensive than having a regular reseller hosting account. So, this opportunity should be contemplated only in case the reseller has enough knowledge and practice required to administer a hosting server, otherwise it's advisable to either register for an average reseller hosting program, or for the already mentioned Free Reseller Program courtesy of ResellersPanel.com, which requires less commitment from the hosting reseller.
