How Reseller Hosting Works

There are many means of gaining revenue online and one of them is to resell the website hosting services offered by a particular web hosting packages provider. This presents infinite opportunities for everyone who wishes to earn more revenue. There are different types of reseller hosting solutions, depending on the web hosting reseller's level of responsibility and, of course, on the web hosting vendor that offers the web hosting service. Before going into that, let us first check out

What is a reseller hosting solution?

A reseller hosting service is a kind of hosting account, which permits the reseller to set up separate sub-accounts that can be offered to various customers. This is generally carried out by granting the reseller access to a main reseller hosting account, via which he can create separate web hosting accounts utilizing the server disk space included in the reseller hosting plan, for which he pays a certain fee. This is much like the shared hosting solution and exactly like it, with most reseller hosting programs, a lot of hosting reseller accounts share a single server and are not given root access to the server config files. Such reseller web hosting programs are normally not that costly. Still, they do prevent the web hosting resellers from reselling other types of web hosting solutions aside from shared hosting packages.

Different types of reseller hosting services

Apart from the already mentioned way of reseller hosting plans, there are also several different ways that work just as good. However, they vary in terms of the levels of involvement and the amount of cash that each one of them demands. As already mentioned, the most common method of selling hosting solutions offers you limited opportunities and you risk losing your capital if things don't work out. That's why, larger hosting firms like ResellersPanel.com offer alternative methods of reselling web hosting accounts without the need to purchase anything beforehand, or to even be involved in the provision of customer and billing support. With their web hosting reseller program, the hosting reseller registers for free and fixes his very own personal retail prices for the hosting solutions, which are being offered directly from his web storefront. Because invoicing transactions are taken care of by ResellersPanel.com's staff, the customer does not need to buy the service beforehand. He's only going to obtain the difference between the retail and the wholesale price in the form of a commission. The reseller also has the possibility to provide hosing services such as VPS web hosting, semi-dedicated web hosting and dedicated web hosting. More or less, his job involves popularizing the hosting service and offering support to the end clients and with web hosting suppliers that do not request preliminary fees and are responsible for the billing and technical support provision, the only task left for the reseller will be to promote his private brand's web store. Another option will be to set up different accounts on a private virtual web server, or on a dedicated web hosting server. With most web hosting corporations, you may receive those two hosting services with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or another web hosting Control Panel, already installed on them. That will permit you to set up various shared web hosting plans and have full control over both the clients and the web server itself. What is more, on a dedicated hosting server, you may create different VPS web hosting server accounts and resell them to your clients. A single dedicated web server may stash thousands of virtual server accounts, based on the server's configuration. This will permit you to deliver a bigger assortment of web hosting solutions to your clients, which will furnish you with more possibilities when advertising your online storefront. By all means, utilizing a virtual private web server or a dedicated hosting server for reseller hosting objectives is much more expensive than utilizing a standard reseller hosting user account. That is why, this opportunity should be examined only in case the web hosting reseller has sufficient understanding and training required to handle a server, otherwise it's advisable to either register for a conventional reseller hosting program, or for the aforementioned Free Reseller Program courtesy of ResellersPanel.com, which requires less involvement from the reseller.
