What is a web hosting reseller ?

A web hosting reseller service is a kind of account, which allows the user to set up subaccounts that can be resold to various clients. This is typically by access to a web hosting reseller account, through which he can set up different web hosting accounts using the disk space the web hosting reseller plan, for which he pays fee. This is much the shared web hosting solution and just like it, with the majority of web hosting reseller programs, a lot of hosting reseller accounts share the same web hosting server and do not receive complete server root access to the server config files. Such reseller web hosting programs are usually not that costly. However, they do impede the resellers from promoting other sorts of web hosting services aside from shared plans.

Different varieties of web hosting reseller solutions

Beside the aforementioned method of web hosting reseller accounts, there are also several other setups that work just as fine. However, they vary in terms of the degrees of commitment and the amount of funds that each of them entails. As already stated, the most common way of selling hosting services offers you limited alternatives and you risk forfeiting your cash if things don't go well. That's why, larger web hosting companies like ResellersPanel.com offer different modes of reselling web hosting packages without having to purchase anything in advance, or to even deal with the provision of customer and billing support. With their program, the web hosting reseller signs up for free and sets his very own personal retail prices for the hosting packages, which are being sold straight from his online store. As invoicing transactions are taken care of by ResellersPanel.com's staff, the reseller does not have to purchase the web hosting service beforehand. He's simply going to receive the difference between the retail and the wholesale price as a commission. The web hosting reseller also has the opportunity to distribute hosing services such as virtual private servers, semi-dedicated servers and dedicated server. More or less, his role involves popularizing the service and providing support to the end users and with hosting corporations that do not demand preliminary fees and deal with the invoicing and customer support provision, the sole responsibility left for the reseller will be to advertise his personal brand's online store. Another possibility will be to set up separate accounts on a VPS web server, or on a dedicated hosting server. With the majority of web hosting providers, you may obtain those two hosting services with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or some different CP, already installed on them. That will allow you to set up different shared web hosting accounts and exercise full authority over both the clients and the web server itself. What is more, on a dedicated web server, you may set up different private virtual server accounts and offer them to your clients. One dedicated server may shelter 1000's of virtual hosting server accounts, based on the server's specifications. This will permit you to deliver a greater variety of web hosting solutions to your clients, which will give you more opportunities when advertising your web storefront. Surely, utilizing a virtual private hosting server or a dedicated web server for web hosting reseller objectives is much more costly than using an average web hosting reseller user account. Therefore, this opportunity should be contemplated only if the hosting reseller has sufficient understanding and practice needed to manage a hosting server, otherwise it's advisable to either opt for a regular web hosting reseller program, or for the aforementioned Free Reseller Program courtesy of ResellersPanel.com, which requests less participation from the reseller.
