How Reseller Web Hosting Works
There are plenty of means of making revenue online and one of them is to resell the shared hosting solutions offered by a specific web host. This offers countless opportunities for everybody who would like to make supplementary revenue. There are various kinds of reseller web hosting services, based on the web hosting reseller's degree of responsibility and, of course, on the web hosting company that offers the hosting service. Prior to going into that, let's first discuss
What is a reseller web hosting service?
A reseller web hosting service is a sort of hosting user account, which permits the reseller to set up different sub-accounts that can be resold to different clients. This is normally carried out by providing the user with access to a master reseller web hosting account, via which he can set up separate web hosting accounts with the server disk drive space offered by the reseller web hosting plan, for which he pays a given charge. This is a lot similar to the shared hosting solution and precisely like it, with the majority of reseller web hosting programs, a lot of hosting reseller accounts share the very same web hosting server and do not have complete root access to the server config files. Such reseller programs are typically not that costly. However, they do bar the web hosting resellers from supplying other sorts of web hosting services except shared web hosting packages.
Various sorts of reseller web hosting services
Aside from the aforementioned method of reseller web hosting packages, there are also several other schemes that work just as fine. However, they vary with respect to the levels of involvement and the budget amount that each one of them presupposes. As mentioned above, the most popular method of selling web hosting solutions offers you limited possibilities and you risk forfeiting your investment if things go wrong. This is why, larger web hosts like ResellersPanel.com offer alternative ways of reselling hosting packages without having to pay for anything beforehand, or to even be involved in the provision of client and billing support. With their reseller hosting program, the hosting reseller subscribes free of cost and defines his own retail prices for the web hosting services, which are being offered directly from his online storefront. Because invoicing transactions are taken care of by ResellersPanel.com's personnel, the client does not have to purchase the hosting service beforehand. He's only going to obtain the difference between the retail and the wholesale price in the form of a commission. The web hosting reseller also has the chance to sell hosing services such as VPS hosting, semi-dedicated server hosting and dedicated server. More or less, his job comes down to advertising the service and providing support to the end customers and with hosting corporations that do not require upfront installments and handle the billing and client support provision, the sole responsibility left for the hosting reseller will be to promote his personal brand's online store. Another option will be to set up different user accounts on a private virtual server, or on a dedicated web server. With the majority of hosting vendors, you may obtain those two hosting services with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or another web hosting Control Panel, pre-installed on them. That will enable you to set up various shared web hosting plans and have absolute authority over both the users and the web server itself. What is more, on a dedicated web hosting server, you may create different virtual web server accounts and resell them to your clients. One dedicated web hosting server may accommodate thousands of virtual web server accounts, based on the web server's specifications. This will permit you to provide a more extensive assortment of web hosting services to your clients, which will provide you with more options when popularizing your online store. Certainly, using a virtual web server or a dedicated hosting server for reseller web hosting objectives is much more costly than using a normal reseller web hosting user account. That's why, this possibility should be examined only if the hosting reseller has enough ability and experience demanded to manage a web server, otherwise it's recommended to either opt for a regular reseller web hosting program, or for the aforementioned Free Reseller Program courtesy of ResellersPanel.com, which requests less involvement from the web hosting reseller.
