I want to become a Reseller web host.Who should become a web host reseller?

1. Individuals or businesses with more than one website

If you have more than one website and the total disk space you need is 500 MB or more, you can benefit from having a reseller account. The cost for web hosting is lower than if you have individual accounts for each site. Also, you can adjust the disk space and bandwidth allocations for each site.

2. Related service providers

A reseller account is also useful for people who provide related services. If you’re a web designer, for example, why stop at designing sites? Provide your clients with web hosting under your company name, and you continue to earn revenue from your web design clients.

Let’s say that you pay $40 a month for a 3-GB reseller account. If you offer 30 100-MB packages at $7 a month, you could earn up to $170 a month (after subtracting your cost) from that reseller account. Add on additional services such as search engine optimization and website maintenance, and your revenue increases again.

Downside of Reseller Hosting


Hi,
Now days Reseller web hosting business growing more and more. The advantages of Reseller hosting are numerous but what is the Downside of Reseller Hosting.
Reseller hosting offers fewer resources than a dedicated server, and thus may exceed resource constraints sooner than with a dedicated server. A Reseller hosting account can only hold so many clients before the space and bandwidth are greater than any reseller package the hosting company can provide, and it becomes more economically feasible to upgrade to a dedicated server. This requires moving clients from the reseller account to the dedicated server, which could result in downtime. In addition to the moving and expansion issues, most reseller hosting accounts offer little in terms of customization. Reseller accounts are usually set in what software is installed on the box, and the versions available. An example would be a client asking for PHP 5, when the version that’s installed on the server hosting the reseller account is PHP 4. While some hosts may be happy to upgrade and accommodate, other hosts will not be able to upgrade as quickly.

Successful Reseller Host


Starting a new company can be quite expensive. Just leasing a dedicated server can cost well over $200/month. Added with the administrative costs for software setup, maintenance, upgrades, and unforeseeable emergencies, the cost can quickly climb well above just the $200/month for the server. Reseller hosting provides a simple option for those who don’t wish to incur the monthly cost of a dedicated server and want to start smaller.

Who is a Successful Reseller Host ?

Buying a managed reseller hosting account will probably not make you instantly rich, instantly generate an income, or instantly known in the web hosting world. It takes a commitment to customer service, by delivering the best service possible. Research needs to be conducted on how to setup plans and pricing, how to ensure support requests are handled quickly, and how to get your company name out there. While a reseller account can get a company started, it takes simple, common business sense to keep it going. Good luck with your new venture.

Is Your Web Host A Secret Reseller?


Web hosting resellers have been around for almost as long as the Web hosting business itself. In the beginning, Web hosting companies who had made large capital investments in servers and infrastructure began recruiting third-party companies as a type of commissioned sales force to help them recoup their investment faster. These third-party companies were given incentives to “resell” hosting services with volume discounts, advanced technical support and private labeling that made the primary host completely transparent to the reseller’s customers. In general, the more hosting customers that a reseller can deliver for the primary host, the greater the discount the reseller receives and the more money they can make marking up the hosting service to end users. Interestingly enough, many of today’s large primary hosting companies actually began as resellers and later bought their own servers and added support staff by reinvesting their profits.
Yes,Now days there are thousands of resellers operating under their own brand names who would prefer that their hosting customers never know they are really reselling another company’s hosting services. Should you be concerned with whether your hosting company is a reseller? The answer is yes and no. Resellers can sometimes offer you more attentive and personalized support because they don’t have as many customers to deal with as the primary hosting company they are reselling for. Resellers also can offer value-added benefits to their customers by including other services in their hosting packages such as search engine promotion, Web design, database management and other Web-based applications. And even though resellers are acting as middlemen, their hosting packages may be priced as low as, or even lower, than the primary host’s retail hosting packages depending on the volume discount they receive and the margin they need.
So how we know that we are dealing with a primary hosting company or a reseller?
To know that, The first rule of thumb is to ask! A reputable reseller will most likely be honest and even tell you who their primary hosting company is. If the reseller is truly offering value for their hosting customers, their hosting packages should hold up even to direct comparisons with the primary host’s retail packages. But, if a reseller really doesn’t want anyone to know they are a reseller, it can be hard to know for sure. You could ask to visit their data center in person and see what they say. You can also try domain lookups, running trace routes or go into hosting forums for info on them.
The bottom line is that you need to very inquisitive and careful when choosing a reseller for a hosting company, just as you should with any new supplier with whom you are contemplating a contractual relationship. Regardless of whether your host is a reseller or not, the most important thing is that you reliably get the Web services you need for a fair market price. Make sure your host’s systems are redundant to avoid problems during peak periods and have uninterrupted power supplies in case of a power failure. Find out if their Internet connections offer the speed and bandwidth you need. And make absolutely sure that all of your data is backed up daily so if you ever have a problem, you can get up and running quickly with another hosting provider.
The majority of resellers are legitimate businesses offering a good value to their hosting customers through an established and reliable primary hosting company. But just because the primary hosting company is reputable and trustworthy doesn’t automatically mean all of their resellers are. If for any reason a reseller can’t pay or chooses not to pay their hosting bills, they can be shutdown by their primary host with no warning to you. It’s also highly unlikely that you would have any recourse with the primary host (if you can even find out who they are) since your hosting contract is with the reseller. Resellers don’t have any real capital investment in equipment and infrastructure so it’s very easy for them to go out of business for any reason. They’ll just resurface tomorrow under a different name and start reselling hosting for another hosting company – leaving their existing customers with a pile of headaches and nobody to turn to for help

PHP code not running at my end


I have taken the backup of my website, that the developer has made in PHP, but, I am not able to understand, why it is not opening at my end, but, is running very well at the server.

PHP is a server-side scripting language which allows you to create dynamic web pages by putting script code inside your HTML pages. The code is executed by the web server before the page is returned to the browser. At your end there is web server loaded. that is why you are not able to view the view at your end.
