What’s a web hosting reseller

A Web Hosting Reseller is a person or company that acts as an agent for a web hosting company, selling their products for some form of remuneration.

Reseller may get discounts off the hosting accounts they buy from their hosting company , or maybe they can create their own custom hosting accounts for re-sale to their customers.

Another type of reseller could simply be someone who forwards leads directly to the hosting company in return for a commission. Either way, these are all forms of Reselling web hosting services.

Most times we will not be able to distinguish web hosting resellers from web hosting companies with their own servers, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Many web hosting resellers are actually better run companies than their suppliers.

Often times resellers tend to be smaller companies than their suppliers, and therefore tend to take a more personal approach to running their businesses. This may translate into better customer service, and perhaps timelier responses to support issues.

Operating our business as a reseller cuts down on many of the overhead expenses involved in setting up our own data center, servers, routers, internet connections, etc.

Many Web Hosting Resellers are much better run companies, and in much better financial shape than the hosting company reseller company are selling for.

We go out of our way to avoid web hosting resellers and try to ensure the company we choose as our web host has their own servers? Not at all.

We should really focus on such things as technical support response times, customer service, and their willingness to help us out when we need it.
