Hosting Reseller Explained

There are a lot of ways of generating cash on the web and one of them is to sell the web hosting services supplied by a particular hosting packages provider. This provides immeasurable opportunities for everyone who wants to gain supplementary profit. There are several kinds of hosting reseller services, depending on the web hosting reseller's level of participation and, of course, on the web hosting firm that offers the hosting service. Before going into that, let us first analyze

What is a hosting reseller solution?

A hosting reseller service is a sort of web hosting account, which enables the reseller to set up separate sub-accounts that can be resold to different clients. This is usually accomplished by giving the reseller access to a master hosting reseller account, via which he can set up various web hosting accounts utilizing the server disk drive space offered by the hosting reseller plan, for which he pays a given price. This is a lot similar to the shared hosting solution and just like it, with most hosting reseller programs, lots of reseller hosting accounts share one and the same hosting server and do not obtain root access to the web server config files. Such web hosting reseller programs are generally not that costly. However, they do impede the hosting resellers from providing other kinds of web hosting services apart from shared packages.

Various sorts of hosting reseller services

Apart from the already mentioned mode of hosting reseller packages, there are also several different ways that work just as good. Still, they contrast in terms of the levels of commitment and the amount of funds that each one of them requires. As already mentioned, the most common mode of selling web hosting services gives you limited possibilities and you risk losing your capital if things don't go well. That's why, bigger web hosting suppliers like ResellersPanel.com provide different methods of selling hosting packages without the need to purchase anything in advance, or to even get involved in the provision of technical and billing support. With their program, the hosting reseller registers free of charge and names his own retail prices for the web hosting services, which are being sold directly from his web store. As invoicing transactions are taken care of by ResellersPanel.com's team, the reseller does not have to buy the web hosting service beforehand. He's merely going to receive the difference between the retail and the wholesale price as a commission. The web hosting reseller also has the option to distribute web hosting solutions such as VPS hosting packages, semi-dedicated hosting packages and dedicated hosting. More or less, his job entails popularizing the hosting service and providing support to the end clients and with hosting companies that do not request preliminary charges and tackle the billing and technical support provision, the sole task left for the web hosting reseller will be to popularize his personal brand's online store. Another possibility will be to create different accounts on a private virtual web hosting server, or on a dedicated server. With most web hosting distributors, you may receive those two hosting services with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or another Control Panel, pre-installed on them. That will enable you to set up various shared web hosting packages and have total control over both the clients and the hosting server itself. What is more, on a dedicated web hosting server, you may set up various virtual private web server hosting accounts and sell them to your customers. A single dedicated web hosting server may store 1000's of virtual private web server hosting accounts, depending on the server's configuration. This will enable you to provide a more extensive variety of services to your clients, which will provide you with more opportunities when popularizing your web storefront. By all means, utilizing a private virtual server or a dedicated web server for hosting reseller goals is much more expensive than using an average hosting reseller account. Thus, this option should be examined only if the reseller has sufficient knowledge and practice necessary to administer a hosting server, otherwise it's recommended to either opt for an average hosting reseller program, or for the already mentioned Free Reseller Program provided by ResellersPanel.com, which requires less involvement from the hosting reseller.
