Reseller Web Hosting Clarified

There are lots of means of generating revenue online and one of them is to resell the web hosting services supplied by a certain hosting company. This provides vast possibilities for everyone who desires to make additional money. There are various sorts of reseller web hosting services, based on the web hosting reseller's level of involvement and, of course, on the hosting firm that offers the web hosting service. Before going into that, let's first examine

What is a reseller web hosting solution?

A reseller web hosting solution is a type of hosting account, which permits the user to create separate subaccounts that can be offered to different customers. This is commonly carried out by offering the reseller access to a master reseller web hosting account, via which he can set up different hosting accounts utilizing the web server disk space offered by the reseller web hosting plan, for which he pays a certain charge. This is a lot similar to the shared web hosting service and precisely like it, with the majority of reseller web hosting programs, numerous hosting reseller accounts share the same web hosting server and are not bestowed with full root-level access to the web server configuration files. Such reseller hosting programs are typically not that costly. Yet, they do hinder the resellers from offering other sorts of hosting solutions aside from shared web hosting plans.

Different types of reseller web hosting solutions

Beside the aforementioned way of reseller web hosting accounts, there are also several different setups that work just as fine. Still, they vary with respect to the degrees of involvement and the amount of money that each of them involves. As already stated, the most popular way of selling hosting solutions offers you restricted options and you risk losing your investment if things don't go well. That's why, bigger web hosting corporations like ResellersPanel.com offer alternative ways of selling web hosting packages without the need to purchase anything upfront, or to even cope with the provision of client and billing support. With their program, the reseller subscribes for free and defines his very own retail prices for the services, which are being offered directly from his online storefront. Since billing transactions are tackled by ResellersPanel.com's staff, the reseller does not have to pay for the service beforehand. He's simply going to get the difference between the retail and the wholesale price as a commission. The reseller also has the chance to provide web hosting services such as VPS hosting packages, semi-dedicated hosting packages and dedicated hosting. More or less, his job involves popularizing the hosting service and offering support to the end customers and with companies that do not request upfront charges and cope with the invoicing and technical support provision, the only duty left for the web hosting reseller will be to popularize his personal brand's online storefront. Another alternative will be to set up different user accounts on a Virtual Private Server, or on a dedicated web hosting server. With most hosting providers, you may get those 2 hosting services with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or another web hosting CP, already installed on them. That will enable you to create different shared hosting plans and have total authority over both the users and the hosting server itself. What is more, on a dedicated hosting server, you may set up various Virtual Private Server web hosting accounts and resell them to your clients. One dedicated hosting server may keep thousands of virtual server web hosting accounts, based on the web server's configuration. This will permit you to provide a bigger assortment of web hosting solutions to your clients, which will provide you with more alternatives when advertising your web store. Certainly, utilizing a VPS server or a dedicated server for reseller web hosting aims is much more costly than having a standard reseller web hosting user account. Hence, this possibility should be examined only in case the reseller has sufficient understanding and experience needed to handle a web server, otherwise it's recommendable to either register for an average reseller web hosting program, or for the already mentioned Free Reseller Program provided by ResellersPanel.com, which requests less commitment from the web hosting reseller.
