Explanation of Web Hosting Reseller

The Internet has become an integral element in everybody's everyday agenda. Everybody wants to possess their very own personal site, whether for enjoyment, for socialization or business purposes. The shared hosting business niche is thriving. Why not take a share of the pie yourself?

What can you offer?

The majority of the firms deliver Linux-powered hosting services. Linux is a multitasking Operating System, which is extremely applicable for both dedicated web hosting and shared hosting servers. The usual web hosting reseller platform that firms offer is the cPanel one, because the cPanel web hosting CP user interface allows 3 access levels - root (reserved for the web host itself), reseller (that is where you come in) and user (for your clients). Although some do allow overselling, in most cases you are restricted by the web hosting server disk drive storage space and monthly traffic quota restrictions of your web hosting reseller plan. It is like a sphere, which you fill up with tinier spheres - when you have filled it all up, you cannot add more.

Resell VPS hosting or dedicated server hosting plans

The greater part of the hosts providing VPS hosting and dedicated hosting do not really disapprove if you utilize the virtual private web hosting server or the dedicated hosting web server to sell web hosting accounts. If you decide to sell hosting accounts availing of a dedicated web hosting server, you will have complete authority over the entire machine, the ability to perform any config adjustments you deem appropriate and the possibility to keep an eye on all the hosting account owners hosted on it. The private virtual web servers offer similar features, but in the majority of the cases you cannot make any kernel modifications or modifications, which involve kernel module rearrangement. The best Control Panel GUI that permits you to resell web hosting accounts utilizing your dedicated web server or virtual web hosting server is, again, cPanel, even though you can also utilize DirectAdmin, depending on which Control Panel software suits your anticipations better.

What do you need to become a reseller?

In order to be a hosting reseller and establish your web hosting business, you require a website, a billing software platform, a merchant account with a payment processor like PayPal, WorldPay, MoneyBookers, 2CheckOut, and so on, and an SSL certificate to guarantee that your clients' data is defended when they pay via your website when ordering a service. Popular billing software systems that you can use are WHMCS, AWBS and ClientExec. The guys at ResellersPanel, however, offer you a charge-free web hosting reseller account with all that included in it - a ready-to-use website, an invoicing software platform and even technical support for your clients. Their web hosting reseller program is without an analogue on the market, as they charge and support your clients on your behalf, and allow you to sell our services without having to purchase anything beforehand yourself. Besides, they permit you to resell all their hosting products - shared hosting plans, Virtual Private Servers, semi-dedicated and dedicated hosting packages. You can offer all of these to your customers using a turn-key web page template. The profit you make is actually the difference between their wholesale price and the price you settle yourself, so all you need to do is be a decent marketing tactician and earn customers. If that is a bit too innovative for you, they still provide shared cPanel web hosting reseller plans, as the majority of the reseller web hosting companies do, and you can always get a virtual web hosting server or a dedicated server and split it into hosting accounts, which you can sell yourself. The bounties coming with their cPanel web hosting reseller packages will make your reseller life easier as well - they offer ClientExec in order to charge and support your customers, a collection of skins and even a cost-free eNom reseller account. We have data centers in 4 countries - Australia, the USA and Britain. It is a great opportunity for you to expand your web hosting business on three continents. What more could you want?
