Definition of Reseller Hosting

There are lots of means of earning revenue online and one of them is to resell the shared hosting solutions furnished by a particular web hosting solutions provider. This provides endless possibilities for everyone who desires to earn more revenue. There are various varieties of reseller hosting solutions, based on the web hosting reseller's degree of commitment and, of course, on the web hosting distributor that offers the hosting service. Before looking into that, let's first analyze

What is a reseller hosting solution?

A reseller hosting service is a kind of hosting user account, which permits the user to create separate sub-accounts that can be resold to different customers. This is usually achieved by giving the user access to a main reseller hosting account, through which he can create separate hosting accounts with the disk drive space included in the reseller hosting package, for which he pays a given price. This is much like the shared web hosting service and exactly like it, with most reseller hosting programs, a lot of reseller hosting accounts share one and the very same server and do not obtain complete server root access to the server config files. Such reseller web hosting programs are generally not that expensive. Still, they do deter the resellers from selling other types of hosting services except shared web hosting plans.

Various sorts of reseller hosting solutions

Aside from the aforementioned way of reseller hosting plans, there are also several other schemes that work just as fine. Yet, they contrast with respect to the degrees of involvement and the amount of funds that each one of them entails. As mentioned above, the most common mode of reselling web hosting services offers you restricted options and you risk forfeiting your funds if things don't work out. This is why, larger hosting providers such as ResellersPanel.com provide alternative modes of selling hosting plans without the need to pay for anything upfront, or to even be responsible for the provision of technical and billing support. With their hosting reseller program, the hosting reseller signs up free of charge and fixes his very own retail prices for the hosting services, which are being offered straight from his web store. Since billing transactions are taken care of by ResellersPanel.com's team, the user does not need to pay for the hosting service in advance. He's merely going to obtain the difference between the retail and the wholesale price as a commission. The reseller also has the opportunity to distribute web hosting services like virtual private servers packages, semi-dedicated server packages and dedicated server. More or less, his role comes down to promoting the hosting service and offering support to the end clients and with web hosting providers that do not demand preliminary payments and take care of the billing and client support provision, the only task left for the hosting reseller will be to advertise his personal brand's web store. Another alternative will be to set up separate user accounts on a VPS server, or on a dedicated hosting server. With the majority of service providers, you may get those 2 hosting services with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or some different hosting CP, pre-installed on them. That will enable you to set up different shared hosting accounts and exercise complete control over both the clients and the web server itself. What is more, on a dedicated hosting server, you may create separate virtual private web server accounts and sell them to your customers. A single dedicated web hosting server may shelter thousands of VPS web hosting accounts, based on the server's capacity. This will allow you to provide a wider assortment of services to your clients, which will give you more alternatives when popularizing your online storefront. Of course, using a VPS hosting server or a dedicated hosting web server for reseller hosting aims is much more costly than utilizing an average reseller hosting user account. This is the reason why, this possibility should be contemplated only in case the reseller has sufficient ability and practice needed to handle a web server, otherwise it's recommendable to either opt for a regular reseller hosting program, or for the abovementioned Free Reseller Program provided by ResellersPanel.com, which requests less participation from the web hosting reseller.
