What Does Reseller Hosting Mean?

The Internet is a vital element in our everyday agenda. Everybody would like to possess their own personal website, whether for pleasure, for socialisation or commercial purposes. The shared hosting industry niche is blossoming. Why not take a chunk of the pie yourself?

What can you resell?

The majority of the companies offer Linux-powered hosting solutions. Linux is a multi-user Operating System, which is extremely applicable for both dedicated web hosting and shared web hosting servers. The typical reseller hosting platform that firms offer is the cPanel one, because the cPanel CP software tool offers 3 access levels - root (meant for the host itself), reseller (that is where you come in) and user (for your customers). Although some do permit overselling, in most cases you are restricted by the web content space and traffic limits of your reseller hosting package. It is like a sphere, which you stuff with smaller spheres - when you have stuffed it all up, you cannot add more.

Sell VPS hosting or dedicated web server accounts

Most of the hosting distributors offering VPS hosting and dedicated hosting do not really object if you utilize the VPS hosting server or the dedicated web server to sell web hosting accounts. If you choose to sell hosting accounts using a dedicated hosting server, you will have total control over the whole physical server, the opportunity to carry out any configuration adjustments you deem fit and the opportunity to keep track of all the web hosting account holders hosted on it. The VPS web servers offer similar options, but in the majority of the instances you cannot make any kernel adjustments or modifications, which involve kernel module rearrangement. The best web hosting Control Panel software that permits you to sell hosting accounts using your dedicated or virtual web hosting server is, once again, cPanel, even though you can also make use of DirectAdmin, depending on which CP interface satisfies your preferences better.

What do you require to become a reseller?

In order to be a hosting reseller and establish your business, you demand a web site, an invoicing software system, a merchant account with a payment processor like PayPal, WorldPay, MoneyBookers, 2CheckOut, etc., and a Secure Sockets Layer certificate to guarantee that your clients' data is shielded when they make payments using your web site when buying a web hosting service. Popular billing systems that you can avail of are WHMCS, AWBS and ClientExec. The guys at ResellersPanel, however, give you a free reseller hosting account with all that included in it - a ready-for-use web site, an invoicing platform and even support for your customers.
