What Exactly is Reseller Web Hosting?
The World Wide Web has become a crucial factor in everybody's everyday agenda. Everybody would like to launch their very own personal web site, whether for entertainment, for socialisation or commercial purposes. The hosting business niche is blossoming. Why not get a share of the pie yourself?
What can you offer?
The majority of the corporations furnish Linux-driven web hosting solutions. Linux is a multitasking OS, which is very suited for both dedicated and shared hosting servers. The typical reseller web hosting platform that companies offer is the cPanel one, as the cPanel CP graphical user interface offers 3 access levels - root (meant for the web hosting distributor itself), reseller (that is where you come in) and user (for your clients). Even though some do allow overselling, in most situations you are restricted by the web storage space and monthly bandwidth limits of your reseller web hosting plan. It is like a sphere, which you stuff with smaller spheres - when you have stuffed it all up, you cannot add more.
Offer VPS plans or dedicated web server hosting packages
Most of the web hosting distributors offering VPS plans and dedicated server do not really disapprove if you use the VPS server or the dedicated web server to resell website hosting accounts. If you elect to sell hosting accounts using a dedicated hosting web server, you will have total control over the entire physical machine, the opportunity to carry out any configuration changes you prefer and the opportunity to keep an eye on all the account owners hosted on it. The virtual private web hosting servers offer comparable features, but in most instances you cannot implement any kernel changes or changes, which require kernel module reconfiguration. The best Control Panel interface that enables you to resell web hosting accounts availing of your dedicated server or virtual hosting server is, again, cPanel, although you can also make use of DirectAdmin, depending on which Control Panel graphical user interface measures up to your preferences better.
What do you need to become a reseller?
In order to be a web hosting reseller and establish your hosting business, you need a website, a billing platform, a merchant account with a payment processor such as PayPal, WorldPay, MoneyBookers, 2CheckOut, and so on, and an SSL certificate to guarantee that your customers' data is defended when they make payments via your web site when purchasing a web hosting service. Famous invoicing software systems that you can use are WHMCS, AWBS and ClientExec. The guys at ResellersPanel, however, offer you a free-of-cost reseller web hosting account with all that included in it - a ready-for-use web site, an invoicing system and even support for your clients. Their reseller web hosting program is without an analogue on the market, as they charge and support your clients for you, and permit you to sell our hosting solutions without having to buy anything beforehand yourself. Additionally, they allow you to resell all their hosting products - shared hosting services, VPS hosting servers, semi-dedicated and dedicated web hosting packages. You can sell all of these to your customers using a turn-key web template. The profit you gain is in fact the difference between their wholesale price and the price you name yourself, so all you need to do is be a good marketing strategist and seduce clients. If that is a bit too innovative for you, they still distribute shared cPanel reseller web hosting packages, as the majority of the companies do, and you can always get a virtual private web server or a dedicated web server and divide it into website hosting accounts, which you can sell yourself. The presents included in their cPanel reseller web hosting packages will make your reseller life easier too - they provide you with ClientExec in order to bill and support your clients, a selection of layouts and even a free-of-charge eNom reseller account.
