Definition of Web Hosting Reseller
The World Wide Web has become a key fragment of everybody's daily life. Everybody would like to own their own personal web site, whether for amusement, for socialisation or commercial ends. The shared hosting industry is blossoming. Why not take a chunk of the pie yourself?
What can you offer?
Most companies supply Linux-powered hosting services. Linux is a multi-user OS, which is extremely suitable for both dedicated web hosting and shared web hosting servers. The usual web hosting reseller scheme that corporations offer is the cPanel one, as the cPanel Control Panel software tool offers three access levels - root (designated for the hosting distributor itself), reseller (that is where you come in) and user (for your clients). Even though some do allow overselling, in most circumstances you are restricted by the web server disk storage space and web traffic quota limits of your web hosting reseller plan. It is like a sphere, which you stuff with tinier spheres - when you have stuffed it all up, you cannot add more.
Offer VPS hosting or dedicated web server hosting plans
The greater part of the web hosting service providers offering VPS hosting and dedicated hosting do not actually object if you use the private virtual hosting server or the dedicated server to resell hosting accounts. If you elect to sell web hosting accounts availing of a dedicated web hosting server, you will have complete control over the entire physical server, the opportunity to carry out any configuration changes you want and the opportunity to keep track of all the web hosting account holders hosted on it. The virtual web servers offer similar specs, but in the majority of the instances you cannot perform any kernel changes or modifications, which necessitate kernel module reconfiguration. The best hosting CP software tool that allows you to resell web hosting accounts availing of your dedicated or virtual web server is, again, cPanel, even though you can also use DirectAdmin, depending on which hosting Control Panel software tool satisfies your preferences better.
What do you need to be a reseller?
In order to become a hosting reseller and launch your reseller hosting business, you demand a web site, an invoicing software platform, a merchant account with an online payment processor like PayPal, WorldPay, MoneyBookers, 2CheckOut, etc., and a Secure Sockets Layer certificate to make certain that your customers' details are defended when they make payments using your website when purchasing a web hosting product. Popular billing platforms that you can utilize 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 software platform and even technical support for your customers. Their web hosting reseller program is unique on the marketplace, as they bill and support your customers for you, and allow you to sell our services without the need to purchase anything upfront yourself. Moreover, they allow you to resell all their hosting solutions - shared website hosting services, VPS hosting servers, semi-dedicated and dedicated web hosting plans. You can offer all of these to your clients using a ready-for-use template. The profit you earn is basically the difference between their wholesale price and the price you set yourself, so all you have to do is be a decent marketing strategist and acquire clients. If that is a bit too innovative for you, they still offer shared cPanel web hosting reseller plans, as most reseller web hosting providers do, and you can always acquire a virtual private web server or a dedicated hosting web server and partition it into website hosting accounts, which you can sell yourself. The bounties coming with their cPanel web hosting reseller packages will make your reseller life easier as well - they offer ClientExec in order to charge and support your clients, a variety of web page layouts and even a charge-free eNom reseller account. We have data centers in 4 countries - Australia, the United States and Britain. It is a unique chance for you to spread your hosting business on three continents. What more could you wish for?
