How Does Reseller Web Hosting Work?
The Internet is an indispensable part of everyone's everyday routine. Everyone desires to have their own personal site, whether for enjoyment, for socialization or business purposes. The web hosting business is blossoming. Why don't you get a slice of the pie yourself?
What can you resell?
The majority of the providers offer Linux-powered web hosting solutions. Linux is a multi-user platform, which is extremely apposite for both dedicated and shared web hosting servers. The typical reseller web hosting scheme that companies offer is the cPanel one, because the cPanel web hosting CP software offers three access levels - root (meant for the hosting company itself), reseller (that is where you come in) and user (for your clients). Although some do allow overselling, in the majority of the circumstances you are restricted by the hard disk storage space and web traffic restrictions of your reseller web hosting package. It is like a sphere, which you fill up with tinier spheres - when you have filled it all up, you cannot add more.
Promote VPS hosting packages or dedicated web hosting server plans
Most of the hosting service providers providing VPS hosting packages and dedicated hosting do not really mind if you use the virtual hosting server or the dedicated web hosting server to sell hosting accounts. If you elect to sell website hosting accounts using a dedicated web hosting server, you will have complete authority over the entire physical machine, the possibility to perform any configuration changes you deem necessary and the ability to keep an eye on all the customers hosted on it. The VPS hosting servers offer comparable specs, but in most instances you cannot implement any kernel adjustments or modifications, which necessitate kernel module rearrangement. The finest web hosting CP tool that allows you to sell website hosting accounts availing of your dedicated server or virtual server is, once again, cPanel, although you can also utilize DirectAdmin, depending on which CP software satisfies your expectations better.
What do you need to become a web hosting reseller?
In order to become a web hosting reseller and commence your hosting business, you need a web site, a billing platform, a merchant account with a payment processor such as PayPal, WorldPay, MoneyBookers, 2CheckOut, etc., and a Secure Sockets Layer certificate to make sure that your clients' data is safe when they make payments using your web site when buying a hosting service. Popular invoicing software systems that you can use 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-for-use website, an invoicing software system and even technical support for your clients. Their reseller web hosting program is without an analogue on the marketplace, since they bill and support your clients on your behalf, and permit you to sell our web hosting services without having to buy anything in advance yourself. Additionally, they permit you to sell all their services - shared hosting services, VPS hosting servers, semi-dedicated and dedicated web hosting packages. You can offer all of these to your customers via a ready-for-use web site template. The profit you gain is in fact the difference between their wholesale price and the price you specify yourself, so all you need to do is be a decent marketing tactician and seduce clients. If that is a bit too innovative for you, they still deliver shared cPanel reseller web hosting plans, as most reseller web hosting companies do, and you can always get a virtual hosting server or a dedicated hosting web server and partition it into website hosting accounts, which you can sell yourself. The extras coming with their cPanel reseller web hosting plans will render your reseller life easier as well - they provide you with ClientExec in order to bill and support your clients, a bunch of website templates and even a cost-free eNom reseller account.
