What is Reseller Web Hosting
The next step that you need to take after choosing a web-host for your site is to zero down upon a proper hosting plan. Depending on your needs, reseller web hosting may be the best option for you, even if you aren’t a web hosting reseller. It all depends on your monetary ability to provide for the plan and hence if you run a relatively smaller website your preference will be unlike what you’ll choose for a profitable site. The options presented vary between these: hosting for one little website, for a relatively larger one, for a mega-site, or a hosting plan that you can employ to extend into a network of websites.
So it is important that you decide between a starter plan that hosts a large website and a it also provides a over more than one domain. The other choice is of a server, these servers are expensive and they are mainly used for business purposes as they are able to host a network of various sites.
If your business is entirely based on the internet, then due to increased demand, you will need a bigger website. The same goes for a web designer, as once you design a website properly, the demand increases and the need for a bigger website becomes inevitable. You need to save time while you set up a new project, and for this purpose, you need a flexible and an affordable web hosting plan. A reseller hosting package would be a good solution to all these problems which you may confront.
Reseller hosting is quite a well paying job in its own and a lot of people are actually making quite lot of money from it. Let us take an example, in case you buy reseller account that allows you a hundred domains for every account for say a sum of $55. Now if you are able to sell each of the account that you have bought under your account for a sum of 410 then you can get an amount of $1000 per month, and you can earn all this amount only for an investment of $55.
In fact, you can take on reseller hosting as a job as well, since many people earn a lot of money of this business. To cite an instance, let’s assume that you spend $50 for purchasing a reseller hosting account which provides you with hundreds of domains and accounts. Then, you can sell each of these domains for about $10. So that would easily fetch you $1,000 for an investment of just $50. The only requirement would be that you would have to set up the accounts of the clients, solve the problems that they encounter, and give them proper technical support. The web hosting company normally takes care of these issues so it certainly won’t be a major issue for you. You may have to spend some money for advertising your business but given the profits you can earn from it, the money spent is worth it!
So what actually do we mean by reseller hosting?
It is a form of web hosting, where you (the owner) have the capacity to use your prearranged hard drive space and bandwidth to host websites on behalf of third parties. As a reseller you buy the host’s facilities and then you sell them to other customers making a neat profit of your own. A certain part of the hard drive and bandwidth is billed to the reseller account. So the reseller may lease a dedicated server from a hosting company or resell collective hosting services. If you just resell those services, then you need not rent a server from the company.
Most of the resellers are the ones who either web developers or who run web designs. In case of fresher, reseller hosting is a cheap and economical way in which they can start off with their own business. Even in the case of more experience people such as web masters and also internet consultants reseller hosting is a very lucrative avenue. Here most of the hosting resellers give full independence to the individual resellers to have their own service and fees structure.
Let us have a look at the bright side of this system.
The first advantage is that you will not need to have a thorough understanding of the technical aspect of this system. It is the responsibility of the host to secure and update the serer according to your needs. The network infrastructure is the responsibility of the data center operator. So as a reseller your job will be limited to only answering queries of the customer, you will not have to worry about the other aspects such as connectivity problems and the other problems related to hardware and software. There are also ‘control panel’ resellers; these resellers are able to supervise customer accounts with a web interface. For automatic account creation and billing there is software that is of immense use called the ModernBill software. Given below is a list of some of the control panels that you will encounter:
WHM/cPanel- Unix
Ensim Pro- Windows/Unix
DirectAdmin- Unix
Webmin- Unix
Plesk- Windows/Unix
DirectAdmin- Unix
There are many advantages of reseller hosting and we shall jot down a few here. Firstly there are noteworthy benefits over both short and long term for the reseller. You can build up your own hosting business on your own terms and conditions without providing any excuses to the server provider. Some server owners alloy a separate IP address for your nameservers. You can host as many websites as you want provided you have the required disk space and bandwidth. A marked feature of most reseller accounts is that they are flexible and allow you to expand your hosting account when you deem it necessary.
Most resellers choose to offer their customers a package that includes hosting and most web hosting providers give a discount up to 50% to the resellers on the price of the initial reseller hosting account. For all those who value performance and demand reliability to boost their business prospects or commerce (and already have a website) – reseller web hosting is the perfect solution for them!
