How Hosting Reseller Works
There are plenty of means of making cash on the web and one of them is to resell the hosting solutions furnished by a particular hosting plans provider. This provides countless opportunities for everyone who would like to earn extra cash. There are several kinds of hosting reseller services, depending on the web hosting reseller's level of commitment and, of course, on the web host that provides the hosting service. Before looking into that, let's first explore
What is a hosting reseller solution?
A hosting reseller solution is a type of hosting user account, which enables the user to create separate subaccounts that can be resold to various clients. This is mainly carried out by offering the user access to a main hosting reseller account, via which he can set up separate web hosting accounts utilizing the disk space provided by the hosting reseller plan, for which he pays a given fee. This is a lot like the shared hosting solution and precisely like it, with most hosting reseller programs, lots of web hosting reseller accounts share one single web hosting server and are not furnished with root access to the web server configuration files. Such reseller web hosting programs are generally not that costly. Yet, they do impede the web hosting resellers from delivering other sorts of hosting solutions apart from shared web hosting plans.
Various forms of hosting reseller solutions
Beside the already mentioned way of hosting reseller packages, there are also a few other setups that work just as fine. However, they differ in terms of the degrees of participation and the budget amount that each of them involves. As mentioned, the most common way of reselling hosting services offers you restricted options and you risk losing your cash if things don't work out. For this reason, bigger web hosting firms such as ResellersPanel.com offer different modes of selling web hosting accounts without the need to pay for anything upfront, or to even take care of the provision of client and invoicing support. With their reseller web hosting program, the hosting reseller registers for free and specifies his very own personal retail prices for the web hosting services, which are being sold directly from his web storefront. Because billing transactions are handled by ResellersPanel.com's team, the customer does not have to pay for the web hosting service beforehand. He's simply going to get the difference between the retail and the wholesale price as a commission. The reseller also has the opportunity to resell web hosting solutions like VPS plans, semi-dedicated plans and dedicated server. More or less, his role entails popularizing the hosting service and offering support to the end users and with web hosting suppliers that do not request upfront taxes and tackle the billing and technical support provision, the sole duty left for the reseller will be to promote his private brand's online store. Another possibility will be to set up separate accounts on a virtual private hosting server, or on a dedicated server. With most web hosts, you may receive those 2 hosting services with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or some different CP, pre-installed on them. That will allow you to set up various shared web hosting packages and exercise total authority over both the customers and the web hosting server itself. Besides, on a dedicated hosting server, you may create separate VPS web hosting accounts and offer them to your clients. One dedicated hosting server may shelter thousands of private virtual server web hosting accounts, depending on the server's capacity. This will permit you to deliver a more extensive variety of hosting services to your customers, which will offer you more options when advertising your online storefront. Surely, using a virtual private hosting server or a dedicated web hosting server for hosting reseller aims is much more expensive than using a standard hosting reseller account. Due to this reason, this alternative should be contemplated only on condition that the hosting reseller has enough ability and experience demanded to handle a server, otherwise it's advisable to either register for a conventional hosting reseller program, or for the aforementioned Free Reseller Program offered by ResellersPanel.com, which requests less commitment from the reseller.
