Reseller Hosting Explained
There are lots of ways of gaining cash on the World Wide Web and one of them is to sell the web hosting services supplied by a particular hosting supplier. This offers limitless opportunities for everybody who wishes to make additional cash. There are different types of reseller hosting services, depending on the reseller's degree of responsibility and, of course, on the web host that offers the hosting service. Before going into that, let's first discuss
What is a reseller hosting service?
A reseller hosting solution is a type of hosting user account, which permits the reseller to create various subaccounts that can be sold to different customers. This is chiefly carried out by supplying the user with access to a main reseller hosting account, via which he can create various web hosting accounts using the disk drive space offered by the reseller hosting plan, for which he pays a certain price. This is much like the shared web hosting service and precisely like it, with the majority of reseller hosting programs, multiple reseller hosting accounts share the very same web hosting server and do not get root access to the web server config files. Such hosting reseller programs are usually not that expensive. Yet, they do bar the web hosting resellers from distributing other forms of web hosting solutions beside shared web hosting packages.
Various forms of reseller hosting solutions
Apart from the aforementioned manner of reseller hosting accounts, there are also a few other setups that work just as fine. However, they differ in terms of the degrees of participation and the amount of resources that each of them necessitates. As already stated, the most popular mode of reselling web hosting solutions offers you restricted opportunities and you risk losing your cash if things go wrong. This is why, larger hosting providers like ResellersPanel.com offer different modes of reselling web hosting plans without the need to buy anything in advance, or to even cope with the provision of technical and invoicing support. With their web hosting reseller program, the reseller registers free of cost and puts his own retail prices for the web hosting services, which are being offered directly from his online store. As invoicing transactions are handled by ResellersPanel.com's staff, the customer does not need to pay for the hosting service upfront. He's simply going to get the difference between the retail price and the wholesale price as a commission. The reseller also has the option to supply web hosting solutions like VPS web hosting, semi-dedicated web hosting and dedicated web hosting. More or less, his duty entails promoting the service and offering support to the end clients and with hosting suppliers that do not request upfront taxes and take care of the billing and technical support provision, the only assignment left for the web hosting reseller will be to popularize his personal brand's web store. Another possibility will be to create separate accounts on a VPS hosting server, or on a dedicated hosting server. With most web hosting providers, you may receive those two web hosting solutions with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or another Control Panel, already installed on them. That will allow you to create different shared hosting accounts and have total control over both the customers and the hosting server itself. Furthermore, on a dedicated web hosting server, you may create different private virtual web server accounts and resell them to your clients. One single dedicated hosting web server may shelter thousands of VPS web hosting accounts, based on the server's configuration. This will permit you to provide a wider variety of web hosting solutions to your clients, which will offer you more opportunities when popularizing your web store. By all means, utilizing a private virtual web hosting server or a dedicated server for reseller hosting objectives is much more expensive than using a standard reseller hosting account. Therefore, this possibility should be considered only if the web hosting reseller has sufficient understanding and practice needed to manage a server, otherwise it's advisable to either opt for an average reseller hosting program, or for the aforementioned Free Reseller Program offered by ResellersPanel.com, which requests less participation from the hosting reseller.
