Reseller Hosting Description

The Internet has become an integral component of our daily life. Everybody wants to set up their very own web portal, whether for entertainment, for socialization or business ends. The shared web hosting industry is blooming. Why don't you take a slice of the pie yourself?

What can you resell?

The majority of the corporations distribute Linux-driven hosting solutions. Linux is a multitasking platform, which is very suited for both dedicated hosting and shared web hosting servers. The usual reseller hosting platform that firms provide is the cPanel one, since the cPanel hosting CP tool offers three access levels - root (meant for the web host itself), reseller (that is where you enter) and user (for your clients). Even though some do allow overselling, in the majority of the cases you are bound by the storage space and traffic quota limits of your reseller hosting plan. It is like a sphere, which you fill up with smaller spheres - when you have filled it all up, you cannot add more.

Resell VPS web hosting or dedicated web hosting server packages

The bigger part of the hosting service providers providing VPS web hosting and dedicated server web hosting do not actually disapprove if you utilize the virtual private web server or the dedicated web hosting server to sell web hosting accounts. If you elect to resell website hosting accounts availing of a dedicated web hosting server, you will have total authority over the entire server, the possibility to carry out any configuration changes you think fit and the opportunity to monitor all the account owners hosted on it. The private virtual web hosting servers offer comparable options, but in most instances you cannot implement any kernel adjustments or adjustments, which involve kernel module reconfiguration. The best CP tool that allows you to resell web hosting accounts using your dedicated server or virtual web server is, once again, cPanel, even though you can also make use of DirectAdmin, depending on which Control Panel graphical user interface matches your preferences better.

What do you require to be a hosting reseller?

In order to become a hosting reseller and launch your reseller web hosting business, you require a website, a billing platform, a merchant account with a payment processor such as PayPal, WorldPay, MoneyBookers, 2CheckOut, etc., and an SSL certificate to ensure that your customers' data is safe when they pay using your website when purchasing a web hosting service. Popular billing platforms that you can avail of are WHMCS, AWBS and ClientExec. The guys at ResellersPanel, however, offer you a free-of-cost reseller hosting account with all that included in it - a ready-for-use website, a billing system and even technical support for your clients. Their reseller hosting program is unique on the marketplace, as they charge and support your customers on your behalf, and allow you to resell our hosting services without the need to buy anything in advance yourself. Moreover, they permit you to sell all their web hosting solutions - shared website hosting packages, virtual hosting servers, semi-dedicated and dedicated web hosting packages. You can sell all of these to your clients using a turn-key website template. The profit you gain is in fact the difference between their wholesale price and the price you determine yourself, so all you need to do is be a decent marketing strategist and seduce customers. If that is a little too innovative for you, they still deliver shared cPanel reseller hosting packages, as the majority of the companies do, and you can always order a virtual web hosting server or a dedicated web hosting server and divide it into hosting accounts, which you can sell yourself. The presents coming with their cPanel reseller hosting packages will render your reseller life easier too - they give you ClientExec in order to bill and support your clients, a bouquet of skins and even a free eNom reseller account.
