Definition of Hosting Reseller
The World Wide Web has become an indispensable part of our everyday life. Everyone wants to build their own personal website, whether for amusement, for socialisation or commercial ends. The shared hosting industry niche is blooming. Why not get a share of the pie yourself?
What can you resell?
The majority of the corporations furnish Linux-based hosting services. Linux is a multi-user platform, which is very apt for both dedicated and shared web hosting servers. The typical hosting reseller scheme that providers offer is the cPanel one, because the cPanel Control Panel software tool offers three levels of access - root (intended for the web hosting distributor itself), reseller (that is where you come in) and user (for your customers). Although some do permit overselling, in the majority of the situations you are bound by the web hosting server hard disk space and traffic quota restrictions of your hosting reseller package. It is like a sphere, which you fill up with tinier spheres - when you have filled it all up, you cannot add more.
Offer virtual private servers packages or dedicated hosting server accounts
The bigger part of the hosting distributors providing virtual private servers packages and dedicated server do not actually disapprove if you use the private virtual web hosting server or the dedicated web hosting server to sell website hosting accounts. If you opt to resell website hosting accounts availing of a dedicated hosting server, you will have complete authority over the entire server, the ability to perform any config adjustments you see fit and the opportunity to monitor all the hosting account holders hosted on it. The virtual private hosting servers offer similar options, but in most cases you cannot carry out any kernel adjustments or changes, which involve kernel module rearrangement. The best Control Panel tool that allows you to sell website hosting accounts availing of your dedicated web server or private virtual hosting server is, once again, cPanel, although you can also make use of DirectAdmin, depending on which CP user interface fits your expectations better.
What do you require to be a web hosting reseller?
In order to be a web hosting reseller and commence your web hosting business, you need a website, an invoicing system, a merchant account with an online payment processor like PayPal, WorldPay, MoneyBookers, 2CheckOut, etc., and a Secure Sockets Layer certificate to make sure that your clients' information is guarded when they pay via your website when purchasing a hosting product. Well-known invoicing platforms that you can make use of are WHMCS, AWBS and ClientExec. The guys at ResellersPanel, however, offer you a free-of-charge hosting reseller account with all that included in it - a ready-to-use web site, a billing system and even technical support for your clients. Their hosting reseller program is unique on the market, as they charge and support your clients for you, and permit you to resell our services without having to buy anything in advance yourself. What is more, they permit you to resell all their services - shared website hosting solutions, VPS servers, semi-dedicated and dedicated web hosting packages. You can sell all of these to your customers via a ready-for-use template. The profit you earn is basically the difference between their wholesale price and the price you set yourself, so all you need to do is be a decent marketing strategist and lure customers. If that is a bit too innovative for you, they still furnish shared cPanel hosting reseller plans, as most reseller web hosting providers do, and you can always order a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server and slice it into web hosting accounts, which you can sell yourself. The bonuses included in their cPanel hosting reseller plans will make your reseller life easier as well - they furnish you with ClientExec in order to charge and support your clients, a set of design templates and even a free-of-cost eNom reseller account.
