What is Reseller Web Hosting?

The World Wide Web has become a crucial fragment of our everyday routine. Everybody wants to possess their very own personal website, whether for enjoyment, for socialization or business ends. The shared hosting business niche is blossoming. Why don't you get a chunk of the pie yourself?

What can you sell?

Most firms provide Linux-driven web hosting services. Linux is a multitasking platform, which is extremely suited for both dedicated hosting and shared web hosting servers. The usual reseller web hosting platform that vendors provide is the cPanel one, because the cPanel web hosting Control Panel software tool includes 3 access levels - root (reserved for the web hosting supplier itself), reseller (that is where you come in) and user (for your customers). Although some do permit overselling, in the majority of the instances you are bound by the storage space and monthly traffic quota limits of your reseller web hosting plan. It is like a sphere, which you stuff with tinier spheres - when you have stuffed it all up, you cannot add more.

Sell virtual private servers packages or dedicated hosting packages

The greater part of the web hosting vendors providing virtual private servers packages and dedicated server do not actually mind if you utilize the VPS hosting server or the dedicated server to sell website hosting accounts. If you elect to sell website hosting accounts using a dedicated hosting server, you will have complete control over the entire physical server, the possibility to carry out any config changes you deem appropriate and the possibility to keep an eye on all the users hosted on it. The private virtual web hosting servers offer comparable features, but in most instances you cannot perform any kernel modifications or modifications, which necessitate kernel module reconfiguration. The best hosting Control Panel GUI that allows you to sell website hosting accounts availing of your dedicated hosting web server or VPS is, once again, cPanel, even though you can also utilize DirectAdmin, depending on which Control Panel GUI fits your demands better.

What do you need to be a hosting reseller?

In order to become a hosting reseller and begin your web hosting business, you need a web site, an invoicing platform, a merchant account with an online payment processor like PayPal, WorldPay, MoneyBookers, 2CheckOut, etc., and a Secure Sockets Layer certificate to make sure that your customers' details are secure when they pay via your web site when ordering a service. Famous invoicing platforms that you can use are WHMCS, AWBS and ClientExec.
