How Web Hosting Reseller Works

The World Wide Web is an integral component of everyone's everyday life. Everyone wishes to possess their own personal site, whether for enjoyment, for socialisation or business ends. The web hosting business is thriving. Why don't you get a slice of the pie yourself?

What can you offer?

The majority of the vendors distribute Linux-powered hosting solutions. Linux is a multitasking platform, which is extremely apt for both dedicated and shared web hosting servers. The typical web hosting reseller platform that providers provide is the cPanel one, since the cPanel web hosting CP GUI allows 3 levels of access - root (designated for the web hosting company itself), reseller (that is where you come in) and user (for your clients). Even though some do allow overselling, in the majority of the circumstances you are bound by the hosting server storage space and monthly traffic restrictions of your web hosting reseller plan. It is like a sphere, which you fill up with smaller spheres - when you have filled it all up, you cannot add more.

Promote VPS hosting plans or dedicated web server hosting packages

Most of the hosting providers providing VPS hosting plans and dedicated hosting do not actually object if you use the VPS web server or the dedicated web server to sell web hosting accounts. If you choose to sell website hosting accounts using a dedicated web hosting server, you will have total authority over the entire physical machine, the possibility to carry out any configuration adjustments you see fit and the ability to keep track of all the account owners hosted on it. The private virtual servers offer similar options, but in most cases you cannot implement any kernel changes or modifications, which involve kernel module rearrangement. The best hosting Control Panel software tool that enables you to sell web hosting accounts utilizing your dedicated hosting server or Virtual Private Server is, again, cPanel, although you can also make use of DirectAdmin, depending on which CP software tool fits your taste better.

What do you require to be a web hosting reseller?

In order to be a web hosting reseller and launch your reseller hosting business, you require a website, a billing platform, a merchant account with a payment processor like PayPal, WorldPay, MoneyBookers, 2CheckOut, and so on, and an SSL certificate to ensure that your customers' data is secure when they make payments using your web site when purchasing a hosting service. Popular billing platforms that you can use are WHMCS, AWBS and ClientExec. The guys at ResellersPanel, however, offer you a free-of-charge web hosting reseller account with all that included in it - a ready-to-use web site, a billing platform and even technical support for your customers. Their web hosting reseller program is without an analogue on the market, as they charge and support your customers for you, and permit you to sell our services without having to buy anything upfront yourself. Additionally, they allow you to sell all their hosting products - shared hosting solutions, VPS servers, semi-dedicated and dedicated web hosting services. You can sell all of these to your customers via a ready-for-use site template. The profit you make is in fact the difference between their wholesale price and the price you fix yourself, so all you need to do is be a good marketing tactician and lure clients. If that is a bit too bold for you, they still deliver shared cPanel web hosting reseller plans, as most reseller hosting providers do, and you can always order a virtual web hosting server or a dedicated hosting server and split it into web hosting accounts, which you can sell yourself. The bounties included in their cPanel web hosting reseller plans will render your reseller life easier as well - they give you ClientExec in order to bill and support your clients, a selection of site skins and even a free-of-cost eNom reseller account. We have data center facilities in four countries - Australia, the States and Britain. It is an immense chance for you to spread your hosting business on three continents. What more could you ask for?
