What Indeed is Reseller Hosting?

The World Wide Web is a vital staple in everybody's everyday life. Everyone desires to create their own personal web portal, whether for enjoyment, for socialisation or commercial purposes. The shared hosting industry is thriving. Why not take a share of the pie yourself?

What can you resell?

The majority of the providers supply Linux-based hosting services. Linux is a multi-user platform, which is very applicable for both dedicated web hosting and shared web hosting servers. The typical reseller hosting scheme that corporations provide is the cPanel one, because the cPanel Control Panel graphical user interface offers three levels of access - root (reserved for the host itself), reseller (that is where you come in) and user (for your customers). Even though some do permit overselling, in the majority of the circumstances you are bound by the web server hard disk space and monthly bandwidth quota limitations of your reseller hosting plan. 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 or dedicated web server hosting plans

The bigger part of the web hosting providers providing virtual private servers and dedicated server do not actually disapprove if you utilize the virtual web server or the dedicated hosting web server to sell website hosting accounts. If you choose to resell website hosting accounts availing of a dedicated hosting web server, you will have total authority over the whole machine, the possibility to make any configuration changes you choose and the possibility to monitor all the web hosting account holders hosted on it. The virtual servers offer comparable features, but in the majority of the instances you cannot perform any kernel adjustments or modifications, which require kernel module reconfiguration. The best web hosting CP graphical user interface that allows you to sell website hosting accounts using your dedicated hosting web server or private virtual web server is, again, cPanel, even though you can also utilize DirectAdmin, depending on which web hosting CP interface meets your anticipations 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 system, a merchant account with an online payment processor like PayPal, WorldPay, MoneyBookers, 2CheckOut, etc., and an SSL certificate to ensure that your customers' information is secure when they pay using your website when purchasing a hosting service. Well-known invoicing software systems that you can utilize are WHMCS, AWBS and ClientExec. The guys at ResellersPanel, however, offer you a cost-free reseller hosting account with all that included in it - a ready-for-use web site, an invoicing software system and even technical support for your clients. Their reseller hosting program is unique on the marketplace, as they charge and support your clients on your behalf, and allow you to sell our hosting solutions without the need to buy anything beforehand yourself. In addition, they allow you to sell all their web hosting services - shared web hosting solutions, VPS servers, semi-dedicated and dedicated hosting packages. You can offer all of these to your clients using a turn-key web template. The profit you gain is in fact the difference between their wholesale price and the price you name yourself, so all you have to do is be a good marketing strategist and attract customers. If that is a little too innovative for you, they still offer shared cPanel reseller hosting packages, as most reseller web hosting providers do, and you can always obtain a virtual private hosting server or a dedicated hosting server and divide it into website hosting accounts, which you can offer yourself. The gifts included in their cPanel reseller hosting packages will make your reseller life easier too - they supply you with ClientExec in order to charge and support your customers, a variety of site templates and even a free-of-charge eNom reseller account. We have data center facilities in 4 countries - Australia, the United States and Britain. It is a huge chance for you to spread your web hosting business on 3 continents. What more could you ask for?
