How Does Reseller Web Hosting Work?

The Internet is a vital fragment of our daily agenda. Everybody wants to own their own personal web site, whether for entertainment, for socialisation or commercial ends. The shared hosting industry is blooming. Why don't you get a chunk of the pie yourself?

What can you offer?

Most firms furnish Linux-powered web hosting solutions. Linux is a multi-user Operating System, which is very suited for both dedicated and shared web hosting servers. The typical reseller web hosting platform that companies provide is the cPanel one, as the cPanel web hosting CP GUI offers three levels of access - root (retained for the hosting distributor itself), reseller (that is where you enter) and user (for your clients). Even though some do permit overselling, in most cases you are bound by the web server hard disk storage space and monthly traffic quota limits of your reseller web hosting package. It is like a sphere, which you stuff with smaller spheres - when you have stuffed it all up, you cannot add more.

Promote virtual private servers packages or dedicated server hosting plans

The greater part of the hosting suppliers offering virtual private servers packages and dedicated server do not really disapprove if you utilize the virtual private hosting server or the dedicated hosting server to resell website hosting accounts. If you elect to sell website hosting accounts using a dedicated hosting web server, you will have total control over the entire physical machine, the ability to carry out any config modifications you deem fit and the possibility to keep an eye on all the users hosted on it. The virtual private web servers offer similar features, but in most cases you cannot implement any kernel changes or adjustments, which require kernel module reconfiguration. The best web hosting CP software that enables you to sell web hosting accounts utilizing your dedicated or virtual web server is, once again, cPanel, even though you can also utilize DirectAdmin, depending on which CP GUI matches your anticipations better.

What do you need to become a reseller?

In order to be a hosting reseller and commence your business, you require a website, a billing system, a merchant account with an online payment processor such as PayPal, WorldPay, MoneyBookers, 2CheckOut, and so on, and a Secure Sockets Layer certificate to guarantee that your clients' information is guarded when they make payments via your website when ordering a hosting service. Well-known billing software platforms that you can utilize are WHMCS, AWBS and ClientExec. The guys at ResellersPanel, however, give you a free-of-charge reseller web hosting account with all that included in it - a ready-to-use web site, an invoicing system and even technical support for your clients. Their reseller web hosting program is without an analogue on the market, as they bill and support your customers on your behalf, and allow you to sell our web hosting solutions without having to purchase anything beforehand yourself. Moreover, they permit you to resell all their web hosting solutions - shared hosting services, VPS hosting servers, semi-dedicated and dedicated web hosting solutions. You can sell all of these to your customers via a ready-for-use web design template. The profit you make is actually the difference between their wholesale price and the price you specify yourself, so all you need to do is be a good marketing tactician and find customers.
