What Precisely is Reseller Web Hosting?

There are many means of earning cash on the web and one of them is to sell the web hosting services supplied by a certain web hosting company. This presents immeasurable opportunities for everybody who wishes to gain extra money. There are different sorts of reseller web hosting solutions, depending on the web hosting reseller's degree of participation and, of course, on the hosting service provider that offers the service. Before going into that, let's first explore

What is a reseller web hosting solution?

A reseller web hosting solution is a kind of web hosting account, which enables the user to create various sub-accounts that can be offered to different customers. This is generally carried out by giving the user access to a master reseller web hosting account, through which he can set up various hosting accounts utilizing the server hard drive space offered by the reseller web hosting plan, for which he pays a certain price. This is much like the shared web hosting service and just like it, with most reseller web hosting programs, numerous web hosting reseller accounts share one and the very same server and do not obtain full server root access to the web server config files. Such reseller web hosting programs are generally not that high-priced. Yet, they do impede the web hosting resellers from promoting other kinds of hosting services except shared hosting plans.

Various varieties of reseller web hosting services

Aside from the abovementioned manner of reseller web hosting plans, there are also a few other schemes that work just as fine. However, they contrast with respect to the degrees of involvement and the amount of resources that each one of them demands. As already mentioned, the most common method of selling hosting services offers you restricted options and you risk losing your money if things don't work out. That is the reason why, bigger web hosting distributors like ResellersPanel.com provide different modes of selling web hosting accounts without having to purchase anything upfront, or to even cope with the provision of client and invoicing support. With their hosting reseller program, the reseller registers free of cost and names his own retail prices for the solutions, which are being sold directly from his online storefront. Because billing transactions are taken care of by ResellersPanel.com's team, the customer does not have to pay for the web hosting service upfront. He's just 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 services such as VPS hosting plans, semi-dedicated hosting plans and dedicated hosting. More or less, his duty entails promoting the hosting service and offering support to the end users and with hosting companies that do not demand preliminary payments and tackle the invoicing and client support provision, the sole responsibility left for the web hosting reseller will be to promote his private brand's web storefront. Another alternative will be to create different user accounts on a private virtual server, or on a dedicated hosting server. With most web hosting distributors, you may obtain those 2 hosting services with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or another Control Panel, already installed on them. That will enable you to create different shared hosting packages and exercise full control over both the clients and the server itself. Besides, on a dedicated server, you may create different private virtual web hosting server accounts and offer them to your customers. One dedicated server may accommodate thousands of Virtual Private Server web hosting accounts, depending on the web server's specs. This will enable you to offer a bigger variety of services to your customers, which will provide you with more possibilities when promoting your online store. Certainly, using a virtual private web hosting server or a dedicated web server for reseller web hosting purposes is much more costly than having a standard reseller web hosting account. For this reason, this opportunity should be contemplated only if the hosting reseller has enough knowledge and experience required to administer a server, otherwise it's recommended to either sign up for a conventional 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.
