The reseller hosting model involves one company (a hosting provider) renting hard drive and bandwidth space to a third party (a small-midsize business), who then sells the space to individuals and businesses (entrepreneurs and small businesses). The purpose of reseller hosting is to enable you to provide web hosting for your own clients as if you were running the web hosting company yourself. Entrepreneurs who wish to start their own web hosting company or designers who wish to expand their existing business typically engage in this type of business arrangement.

Taking advantage of reseller hosting offers incredible benefits to your new or existing brand. As a reseller, you’ll:

• Take on the role of a hosting company and generate revenue by hosting and developing websites
• Easily generate profits
• Plan and customize your own hosting packages and plans based on your business and client needs
• Use your own brand to host and bill your customers
• Provide each client with a separate cPanel control panel
• Its low initial start-up costs can save you money with the opportunity to upgrade later

Hosting reseller plans are designed for you to make money and are often the most affordable and accessible method of starting a hosting business. This option allows you to set up, manage, and operate the backends of your business and your client’s websites, email accounts, and domains from the same control panel.

You can charge a bit more for this hands-on type of service since many customers may lack the expertise or background in this area.

Since the web hosting provider handles the servers, you can focus on profit and customer management. This opportunity will allow you to start making money from your web hosting business immediately.

The following are some of the most common features found in Reseller packages:

• Storage space
• Internet bandwidth
• Hosting Domains
• Having the option of branding your own web hosting company using a provider company unknown to your clients (also known as “white labeling”)
• Updated cPanel control panel
• Configure different accounts according to your needs and manage your own plans
• You can integrate your own features into your client’s account, such as email, a control panel, scripts, and monitoring tools
• The hosting provider offers premium support (usually available around the clock)

There will be no doubt that it is you! Essentially, you can run your own hosting business under your own name and brand without your clients knowing who your actual hosting provider is. You are in total control of promoting your business under your own name!
