How Web Hosting Reseller Functions
There are a lot of ways of earning cash online and one of them is to resell the shared hosting services provided by a specific web hosting firm. This offers boundless options for everyone who desires to gain additional money. There are different types of web hosting reseller solutions, based on the hosting reseller's level of commitment and, of course, on the hosting vendor that offers the hosting service. Prior to going into that, let us first check out
What is a web hosting reseller solution?
A web hosting reseller service is a sort of hosting user account, which enables the user to create different subaccounts that can be resold to different clients. This is commonly carried out by giving the user access to a master web hosting reseller account, through which he can set up various web hosting accounts availing of the web server disk drive storage space included in the web hosting reseller package, for which he pays a certain price. This is a lot similar to the shared web hosting service and just like it, with most web hosting reseller programs, numerous web hosting reseller accounts share one and the very same web hosting server and are not provided with complete root-level access to the server configuration files. Such reseller web hosting programs are generally not that expensive. Still, they do deter the resellers from delivering other sorts of hosting solutions apart from shared web hosting packages.
Various sorts of web hosting reseller solutions
Beside the abovementioned manner of web hosting reseller accounts, there are also a few different schemes that work just as good. However, they vary in terms of the levels of commitment and the amount of cash that each one of them involves. As already stated, the most popular way of reselling web hosting services offers you restricted alternatives and you risk losing your capital if things don't work out. Because of this reason, larger web hosting service providers like ResellersPanel.com offer alternative modes of selling hosting accounts without having to buy anything upfront, or to even be involved in the provision of technical and billing support. With their reseller hosting program, the reseller registers for free and puts his own retail prices for the web hosting plans, which are being offered straight from his web store. Since billing transactions are tackled by ResellersPanel.com's team, the reseller does not need to purchase the web hosting service beforehand. He's only going to get the difference between the retail and the wholesale price in the form of a commission. The hosting reseller also has the possibility to provide web hosting solutions like virtual private servers, semi-dedicated servers and dedicated server. More or less, his role entails popularizing the hosting service and providing support to the end users and with hosting suppliers that do not demand preliminary payments and tackle the invoicing and technical support provision, the sole responsibility left for the web hosting reseller will be to promote his private brand's web store. Another option will be to set up different user accounts on a VPS server, or on a dedicated server. With most hosting corporations, you may receive those 2 hosting services with a cPanel, DirectAdmin, or another Control Panel, pre-installed on them. That will allow you to set up different shared web hosting packages and have absolute control over both the clients and the server itself. Also, on a dedicated hosting web server, you may set up separate private virtual hosting server accounts and offer them to your customers. One single dedicated web hosting server may store 1000's of private virtual server accounts, depending on the web server's configuration. This will permit you to provide a greater array of services to your clients, which will provide you with more opportunities when advertising your online storefront. Sure enough, utilizing a VPS or a dedicated hosting web server for web hosting reseller goals is much more costly than using a conventional web hosting reseller account. For that reason, this possibility should be considered only on condition that the reseller has enough ability and training needed to manage a hosting server, otherwise it's advisable to either sign up for a normal web hosting reseller program, or for the already mentioned Free Reseller Program offered by ResellersPanel.com, which demands less dedication from the web hosting reseller.
