What is reseller web hosting

Reseller hosting works in this way: a web host provides a reseller hosting account to the reseller who then resells this space and bandwidth to his or her own clients.

The reseller is able to create his or her own hosting plans and is presented as the hosting company. Most web hosts will offer reseller hosting accounts and some will even provide special support for their resellers.

The capital outlay and resources is provided by the web host, reseller web hosting is a simple and cost-effective way to start providing web hosting services.

Reseller web hosting is good for a small web host who wants some experience in the web hosting industry. A company or individual which owns a dedicated server can create a reseller web hosting account in the same way they create a shared hosting account.

With a reseller web hosting account, however, we have more control. We are allowed to set up multiple web sites/domain names with our account, which can then be resold to potential customers.

Resellers are small-business owners who obtain hosting services from another web host, then offer those services for sale to other customers under their own business name.

Many web hosts offer pre-packaged hosting plans at a discount rate to resellers, while others sell set amounts of disk space and bandwidth that resellers can allocate to customers in whatever amounts treseller choose, and at whatever prices reseller choose.

Becoming a reseller can be a relatively low cost, low risk way to enter the hosting business. Still, it’s smart for anyone considering a reseller business to spend some time researching both the hosting industry in general and the reseller market in particular.
