RESELLER HOSTING


Reseller hosting is a form of web hosting wherein the account owner has the ability to use his/her allotted hard drive space and bandwidth to host websites on behalf of third parties. The reseller purchases the host’s services wholesale and then sells them to customers, possibly for a profit. A certain portion of hard drive and bandwidth is allocated to the reseller account. The reseller may rent a dedicated server from a hosting company, or resell shared hosting services. In the latter case, the reseller is simply given the permission to sell a certain amount of disk space and bandwidth to his own customers without renting a server from a web hosting company he signed for a reseller account with.

Reseller hosting does not require extensive knowledge of the technical aspects of web hosting. Usually, the data center operator is responsible for maintaining network infrastructure and hardware, and the dedicated server owner configures, secures, and updates the server. A reseller is responsible for interfacing with his/her own customer base, but any hardware, software and connectivity problems are typically forwarded to the server provider from whom the reseller plan was purchased. Being a profitable reseller firm usually involves extensive advertising to get customers. While the monthly fees with major hosts are only a few dollars a month, it’s a low margin business, and resellers must devote large advertising budgets to compete with established competitors. However, web hosting is one of the biggest online businesses, because every website needs hosting.

Resellers can set up and manage customer accounts via a web interface, usually point and click “Control Panels. Well-known Control Panels List:

  •  WHM/cPanel (UNIX) (Windows version coming soon)

Strong reasons to deny reseller hosting


Reseller hosting is considered as a cheap way of starting a web hosting company. The entrepreneur doesn’t have to invest lots of money for starting a business. A good number of reseller hosting procedures enable the resellers to form their personal service plans and also select their own pricing structure.

There is no doubt at all that reseller hosting is cheap way to approach hosting. But don’t forget when we compromise with the pricing structure then naturally we will not get that comfort which we get in expensive structure or plans. There are many options when it comes to hosting your website and a reseller host is not the best one. Reseller generally lacks all the avenues for promotion as it is with the parent web hosting company. Let us try to understand more clearly that why we should deny reseller hosting.

The big problem with a reseller host is that they will or they are not able to provide you with very good support. They are not known for providing good support because they are not the hosting company itself. They will spend more time in joining new customers. Naturally they will not be able to focus on the adjoining cliental base. This clearly means that you problems will take time to be cured, you will have to wait and no doubt this will affect your business.

Space is another main problem which you have to face at the time when you take services from a reseller. Typically when you go with a reseller host you have to adjust in a small space, you will not get the space you require to expand. This will surely not be good if you wish to grow or if you are trying to build up a website that will get plenty of traffic. You may not even have the option to upgrade to a larger amount of space if you use a reseller host.

On the whole the conclusion is that it is not at all good to contact from a middle man (reseller), in fact you should directly from the parenting web company, you will get the best customer support and you will get the sufficient space to grow your website in future. Doesn’t worry this will slightly affect your expenses and in reward you are getting better services.

Interesting Concept of Reseller Hosting


Reseller hosting concept looks very complicated but it can be studied in some simple steps like, for an example, one party works like a distributor (reseller) and he purchases a big space on the server and further distributes in small parts to the retailers. One major party (reseller) who purchases direct from the web provider gets a big space at a cheap price and then further sells it for some high price, for profit. Thus the smaller parties gets a sufficient price and services for a cheap price from the reseller and thus they save a big amount, it will cost high if they purchase directly from the web provider.

Reseller hosting does not need extensive knowledge of the technical aspects of web hosting. More often the data center operator is responsible for maintaining network infrastructure and hardware, and the dedicated server owner configures, secures, and updates the server. A reseller liabilities are limited to the his/her own customer base and any hardware, software and connectivity problems are typically forwarded to the server provider from whom the reseller plan was purchased.

More and more publicity is required for the success of the reseller business. Basically it a low margin business, the monthly fees with major hosts are only a few dollars a month, and resellers have to spend big amounts for advertising in order to compete with established competitors. However, web hosting is one of the biggest online businesses, because every website needs hosting.

Reseller works like a middleman between the company and the semi users. Price is definitely the biggest advantage of reseller hosting. Sometimes this can cause you issues later on. A lot of the reseller hosting plans are relatively cheap, perhaps a few dollars a month. However, as mentioned before, unlike established web hosting firms, the resellers might not be able to provide reliable technical support.

The major advantage in brief to understand the advantage of reseller hosting is it is good for entrepreneurs who are starting their own business. It is a relatively low risk investment with limited startup cost. Reseller hosting packages vary in shapes and sizes. Generally the best reseller hosting packages will offer you total secrecy along with additional extras such as free billing software and a free offline network account.

Reseller Hosting Industry Collapsing


Jim, sales President CPWebHosting feels there is perception that the Reseller Hosting Industry will collapse, before 2013. The long term senior admin member of the CPWebHosting, however, knows that the perception may not be backed by the actual numerical strength of searches in the Google Analytics. Yet the Hosting industry has to battle this perception.

Lot of articles can be found on the Internet supporting this perception, I have been writing this article to make out the readers understand, what basic is now lacking in the Reseller Hosting Industry with the change in time. Restricted Unlimited Shared Hosting has almost taken over the Reseller Hosting, designers companies, who were previously the resellers of some Hosting companies, are now running their own servers. Earlier it was a very big hectic of acquiring, compiling, installing and modifying Apache for Hosting purpose, now a days, control panels have made it much easier, especially cPanel.

Control panels are taking care of all the complexities which are increasing in the day by day development of the web. Lot is coming in the technology now, making the websites more complicated then the last. And the beauty of the new technology is that it is perfectly much easier to install and run them on the each site on a suitable system. Video tutorials are available with the text and flash manuals documenting every step, being the best roadmaps that tell how to get somewhere and get the things done.

In today’s scenario, as the things have became much easier with control panels, whose basic concepts are easy to follow, so the more and more designing and development companies have started taking servers and putting the cPanel or other control panel on it and managing their websites, instead of being Resellers of some X hosting company.

There could be n no. of reasons but one of the reason which I have taken above seems to be quite realistic, although the hosting companies in the market from last decade and more have a very reason to provide good hosting as their technical staff is much acquainted with the possible combination of commands to implement the launch of website.

Although in today’s scenario, running your own web hosting company is much easier, but what we feel this that the developers and designers must be aware of wider issues for instance security, before making sensible decision about own or other’s server configuration by being a Reseller.
