How Hosting Reseller Functions

There are a lot of ways of making revenue online and one of them is to resell the web hosting services furnished by a particular hosting distributor. This provides vast opportunities for everybody who would like to earn additional money. There are different sorts of hosting reseller solutions, based on the hosting reseller's degree of participation and, of course, on the web hosting distributor that provides the web hosting service. Prior to looking into that, let us first analyze

What is a hosting reseller solution?

A hosting reseller solution is a type of web hosting account, which enables the user to create separate subaccounts that can be offered to different clients. This is usually achieved by supplying the reseller with access to a main hosting reseller account, via which he can set up different hosting accounts with the web content space included in the hosting reseller package, for which he pays a given charge. This is much similar to the shared hosting solution and just like it, with most hosting reseller programs, lots of reseller hosting accounts share one and the very same web hosting server and are not furnished with complete root-level access to the server config files. Such reseller programs are generally not that costly. Yet, they do restrain the web hosting resellers from supplying other forms of hosting services except shared web hosting plans.

Various forms of hosting reseller services

Aside from the aforementioned mode of hosting reseller accounts, there are also a few different setups that work just as fine. Yet, they vary with respect to the degrees of commitment and the amount of money that each of them presupposes. As already stated, the most popular mode of reselling hosting services offers you restricted possibilities and you risk losing your cash if things don't work out. That is the reason why, bigger web hosting suppliers such as ResellersPanel.com offer alternative ways of selling web hosting plans without the need to pay for anything upfront, or to even cope with the provision of technical and billing support. With their web hosting reseller program, the hosting reseller signs up free of charge and names his very own personal retail prices for the web hosting accounts, which are being sold directly from his online store. Since invoicing transactions are handled by ResellersPanel.com's staff, the client does not have to purchase the web hosting service upfront. He's only going to receive the difference between the retail and the wholesale price as a commission. The web hosting reseller also has the opportunity to sell hosing services like VPS hosting plans, semi-dedicated hosting plans and dedicated hosting. More or less, his job entails popularizing the hosting service and offering support to the end customers and with hosting providers that do not require upfront installments and cope with the billing and client support provision, the only duty left for the reseller will be to advertise his private brand's online store. Another alternative will be to set up separate accounts on a private virtual web server, or on a dedicated hosting web server. With the majority of service providers, you may receive those 2 web hosting solutions with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or some different web hosting CP, pre-installed on them. That will allow you to create different shared web hosting accounts and exercise full control over both the clients and the server itself. What is more, on a dedicated hosting web server, you may create different VPS web hosting server accounts and offer them to your customers. A single dedicated server may store 1000's of Virtual Private Server web hosting accounts, depending on the web server's configuration. This will enable you to sell a bigger array of hosting solutions to your customers, which will present you with more possibilities when advertising your online storefront. Certainly, using a private virtual server or a dedicated hosting web server for hosting reseller objectives is much more expensive than using an average hosting reseller account. So, this option should be contemplated only on condition that the reseller has sufficient ability and practice needed to handle a server, otherwise it's recommended to either opt for a conventional hosting reseller program, or for the already mentioned Free Reseller Program courtesy of ResellersPanel.com, which requests less dedication from the reseller.
