What is Reseller Web Hosting?

The World Wide Web is an integral component of everyone's daily agenda. Everybody desires to set up their own web page, whether for enjoyment, for socialisation or business ends. The shared hosting business is blossoming. Why not get a piece of the pie yourself?

What can you sell?

The majority of the vendors distribute Linux-driven hosting solutions. Linux is a multi-user OS, which is very applicable for both dedicated web hosting and shared web hosting servers. The usual reseller web hosting scheme that firms provide is the cPanel one, as the cPanel Control Panel software includes 3 levels of access - root (reserved for the host itself), reseller (that is where you enter) and user (for your clients). Although some do allow overselling, in most instances you are restricted by the web hosting server hard disk space and web traffic limits of your reseller web hosting plan. It is like a sphere, which you fill up with smaller spheres - when you have filled it all up, you cannot add more.

Resell virtual private servers packages or dedicated hosting solutions

Most of the hosting distributors offering virtual private servers packages and dedicated server do not actually object if you use the VPS server or the dedicated web hosting server to sell website hosting accounts. If you choose to sell website hosting accounts using a dedicated server, you will have complete authority over the entire machine, the possibility to perform any configuration changes you want and the opportunity to keep an eye on all the clients hosted on it. The virtual web servers offer comparable features, but in the majority of the instances you cannot perform any kernel changes or changes, which require kernel module reconfiguration. The best web hosting Control Panel interface that permits you to resell web hosting accounts utilizing your dedicated hosting web server or VPS hosting server is, once again, cPanel, although you can also make use of DirectAdmin, depending on which hosting Control Panel interface fits your demands better.

What do you need to be a hosting reseller?

In order to become a web hosting reseller and launch your web hosting business, you demand a website, an invoicing software system, a merchant account with a payment processor such as PayPal, WorldPay, MoneyBookers, 2CheckOut, etc., and a Secure Sockets Layer certificate to make sure that your clients' info is safe when they pay using your website when buying a hosting product. Famous billing platforms that you can make use of are WHMCS, AWBS and ClientExec.
