Return to What is Reseller Hosting?

<h2>What is Reseller Hosting?</h2>by MattHedgesThe next step that you need to take after choosing a web-host for your site is to zero down upon a proper hosting plan. Depending on your needs, reseller web hosting may be the best option for you, even if you aren't a web hosting reseller. It all depends on your monetary ability to provide for the plan and hence if you run a relatively smaller website your preference will be unlike what you'll choose for a profitable site. The options presented vary between these: hosting for one little website, for a relatively larger one, for a mega-site, or a hosting plan that you can employ to extend into a network of websites. So it is important that you decide between a starter plan that hosts a large website and a it also provides a over more than one domain. The other choice is of a server, these servers are expensive and they are mainly used for business purposes as they are able to host a network of various sites. If your business is entirely based on the internet, then due to increased demand, you will need a bigger website. The same goes for a web designer, as once you design a website properly, the demand increases and the need for a bigger website becomes inevitable. You need to save time while you set up a new project, and for this purpose, you need a flexible and an affordable web hosting plan. A reseller hosting package would be a good solution to all these problems which you may confront. Then again you could actually run your own lucrative production of web hosting instead of the facing the manifold troubles of running a web-server. What you gain through this is an abundance of space in your account for various projects, and be able to minimize your costs by (as well as profit) by offering other people the required space for their domains. All you have to do is to set up an account and in the process you will be required to answer to a few queries but there is no major hurdle as such because responsibility of running a web server shall be taken over by the hosting company. You may also need to spend a little money for advertisement and promotion of your web hosting business, but this amount is quite small as compared to the huge amount of profit that you will be able to pocket. So, Let us look at the actual meaning of a reseller hosting. It is a form of web hosting, where you (the owner) have the capacity to use your prearranged hard drive space and bandwidth to host websites on behalf of third parties. As a reseller you buy the host's facilities and then you sell them to other customers making a neat profit of your own. A certain part of the hard drive and bandwidth is billed to the reseller account. So the reseller may lease a dedicated server from a hosting company or resell collective hosting services. If you just resell those services, then you need not rent a server from the company. Some of the web designers and developers, as well as system integrators, act as resellers. Even for the new business-minded people, reseller of web hosting services is a good and a cheap way to start with a new business. It is a very good option to consider for internet consultants, webmasters and anyone who wishes to start up with a good and a high-profit business online. There are many web hosting plans which enable the resellers to provide their own services and decide upon their own fee which they would charge from the customers. Let us have a look at the bright side of this system. Firstly, you do not have to possess a thorough understanding of the technical know-how of web hosting. The dedicated server owner (the host) is responsible for the server and he configures, secures and updates it according to your need and as required, while the data center operator is accountable for maintaining the network infrastructure and the hardware required. So as a reseller you have to answer questions from the customer base and address their problems, but all hardware, software and connectivity problems are forwarded to the server provider. Through certain 'Control Panels' resellers can easily supervise customer accounts via a web interface. There is a software called ModernBill that helps out resellers immensely by automatic account creation and billing. Here are listed some Control Panels that you will come across: WHM/cPanel- Unix Ensim Pro- Windows/Unix DirectAdmin- Unix Plesk- Windows/Unix Ensim Pro- Windows/Unix Helm- Windows There are many advantages of reseller hosting and we shall jot down a few here. Firstly there are noteworthy benefits over both short and long term for the reseller. You can build up your own hosting business on your own terms and conditions without providing any excuses to the server provider. Some server owners alloy a separate IP address for your nameservers. You can host as many websites as you want provided you have the required disk space and bandwidth. A marked feature of most reseller accounts is that they are flexible and allow you to expand your hosting account when you deem it necessary. Most of the resellers provide a package deal to the customers and also provide discount that reach up to 50% to the resellers, this discount is given on the price of the initial reseller hosting account. Reseller hosting is a perfect answer for all the people who wish to have reliable and consistent performance in their business.<h3>About the Author</h3>Republished with permission from WebHostingMadness.com, a publisher of <a href="http://www.webhostingmadness.com">hosting company ratings</a>, comparisons and detailed articles about <a href="http://www.webhostingmadness.com">the web hosting industry.</a> Article Source <a href="http://www.free-article-submit.com">Free Article Submit</a>
