What is a Reseller Hosting Account?

Posted: March 26th, 2018

 

Reseller hosting is a form of web hosting wherein the account owner has the ability to use his or 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 space 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 their own customers without renting a server from a web hosting company they 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 owner configures, secures, and updates the server. A reseller is responsible for interfacing with his or 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 fees with major hosts are only a few dollars a month, it is 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.[citation needed.

 

Resellers can set up and manage customer accounts via a web interface, usually a point-and-click "control panel".

 

Advantages of Reseller Hostng:

 

There are many advantages of reseller hosting including:

 

> Earning income: As a reseller you can resell hosting with your development or other IT services and price them as competitively as you wish. Very often the discount or commission a reseller receives from the host provider will increase the more clients they have, so the profit potential can be quite appealing.

 

> Specify your own hosting plans:  Choose how you package your hosting plans and offer flexibility to your clients, tailoring services to the needs of their businesses.

 

> Invoice your clients under your own company:  As a reseller, you can invoice your clients from your own company and the majority, if not all upstream providers will not include their company name anywhere within the documentation online so your clients will be unaware of the fact that you are not the ultimate host.

 

> Sell as many plans as you wish:  As you are the reseller, you can sell as many plans as you are able to with the space and bandwidth you have available. If you can sell more, you can purchase more from us for more space and your profits are therefore scalable.

 

> No large initial costs:  As a reseller you are not responsible for the server maintenance costs as this falls to the supplier. Also, there are no huge outlays for space and bandwidth because you already have the customers paying you for their service.

 

> Only focus on customer service: As a reseller, you only need to focus on your customer service and the technical support will be handled by your upstream provider.
