How To Host Several Websites

If you operate several websites, each with its own domain name, signing up of separate hosting accounts can be an expensive proposition. Even if your hosting company offers the add-on domain feature (which will allow you to add different domains to the same hosting account) you will be charged a monthly fee for each domain you add, sometimes costing almost the same as your full hosting fee.

The solution is to open a reseller account. Reseller accounts were created to allow web designers to offer hosting services to their customers, to create a one-stop-shop for all their web design and hosting needs. However, you don’t need to be a reseller to buy a reseller hosting plan.

Reseller accounts are usually slightly more expensive than regular hosting accounts, but they will allow you to host different domain names without incurring in the add-on domain fees, making more efficient use of your space and bandwidth.

You want to choose a reseller account that offers:
– no limit to the number of domains you can add.
– The possibility of hosting your main website free, without using any of the space and bandwidth in your hosting plan. If you are a reseller, your main website will be your business website, and the space and bandwidth will be reserved for your customers. If you are not a reseller and just want to manage different websites, you can designate one of your domains as your main website.
– The possibility of upgrading to another plan without any penalties or fees.
To find out how much space and bandwidth you will need, first determine how many sites you are likely to host, how many pages each site may have, and how many visits will those sites most likely have.

Nature of Hosting Industry

These days people are getting more technologically advanced in maintaining their servers by reading articles on hosting business or by getting training on maintaining servers. So it seemed like more people know how to run the servers and they tend to rent a dedicated server to start off the business.

The market for resellers looking to progress before is now swinging to fully managed VPS – the step below a dedicated. This gives resellers the ability to have root and learn DNS, creating reseller accounts, handling ip’s, installing software etc – but knowing that if they break anything we are on hand to fix it or give advice.There is no doubt that the VPS market is making some hard way but it cant come close to replace the traditional reseller shared hosting market just yet. Also the reduced price plans for dedicated servers also encouraging people to maintain their own servers.

Perhaps with time that like anything in our business will change but currently traditional shared accounts are still strong. As people basically beginners in hosting industry threats from losses so mostly their first preference is still reseller hosting.
