Description of Reseller Hosting
There are many means of generating money on the Internet and one of them is to resell the web hosting services furnished by a certain web hosting vendor. This presents immense options for everybody who desires to generate more profit. There are various types of reseller hosting services, depending on the web hosting reseller's degree of involvement and, of course, on the hosting provider that offers the service. Prior to going into that, let us first discuss
What is a reseller hosting service?
A reseller hosting solution is a sort of web hosting account, which enables the user to create various subaccounts that can be resold to different clients. This is chiefly accomplished by offering the reseller access to a master reseller hosting account, via which he can create separate hosting accounts utilizing the storage space offered by the reseller hosting package, for which he pays a certain charge. This is a lot like the shared hosting service and just like it, with most reseller hosting programs, a lot of reseller web hosting accounts share the same web hosting server and are not bestowed with full root-level access to the web server config files. Such hosting reseller programs are normally not that high-priced. However, they do bar the web hosting resellers from providing other types of web hosting solutions beside shared web hosting packages.
Various kinds of reseller hosting services
Beside the abovementioned way of reseller hosting plans, there are also several other setups that work just as fine. However, they contrast in terms of the levels of participation and the budget amount that each one of them presupposes. As mentioned above, the most common way of selling hosting solutions offers you limited possibilities and you risk forfeiting your investment if things don't go well. This is why, bigger hosting companies such as ResellersPanel.com provide alternative modes of selling web hosting packages without having to buy anything in advance, or to even be responsible for the provision of customer and billing support. With their reseller web hosting program, the reseller subscribes free of charge and selects his own retail prices for the web hosting plans, which are being sold directly from his online store. Since invoicing transactions are handled by ResellersPanel.com's staff, the user does not have to buy the web hosting service upfront. He's simply going to get the difference between the retail and the wholesale price in the form of a commission. The reseller also has the opportunity to resell hosing solutions like VPS hosting services, semi-dedicated hosting services and dedicated hosting. More or less, his job involves promoting the web hosting service and providing support to the end customers and with hosting suppliers that do not require upfront charges and deal with the invoicing and client support provision, the only task left for the hosting reseller will be to advertise his personal brand's web store. Another option will be to create separate user accounts on a virtual web server, or on a dedicated web server. With the majority of service providers, you may get those 2 hosting services with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or another CP, already installed on them. That will enable you to create different shared hosting accounts and exert full control over both the customers and the web server itself. Moreover, on a dedicated hosting server, you may set up various virtual server accounts and resell them to your clients. One single dedicated server may host thousands of private virtual web hosting server accounts, depending on the server's capacity. This will enable you to offer a greater array of web hosting services to your clients, which will give you more alternatives when advertising your online store. Certainly, using a VPS web server or a dedicated web server for reseller hosting goals is much more expensive than using a normal reseller hosting user account. Due to this reason, this alternative should be examined only in case the hosting reseller has enough knowledge and practice needed to manage a web hosting server, otherwise it's advisable to either register for a standard reseller hosting program, or for the aforementioned Free Reseller Program provided by ResellersPanel.com, which requires less involvement from the hosting reseller.
