How Hosting Reseller Operates

The World Wide Web is an essential element in everyone's everyday agenda. Everyone desires to possess their own personal web page, whether for amusement, for socialisation or business ends. The web hosting industry is blossoming. Why not get a piece of the pie yourself?

What can you sell?

The majority of the vendors provide Linux-based hosting solutions. Linux is a multitasking Operating System, which is extremely apt for both dedicated web hosting and shared hosting servers. The typical hosting reseller platform that corporations provide is the cPanel one, since the cPanel hosting Control Panel GUI allows three access levels - root (retained for the hosting company itself), reseller (that is where you come in) and user (for your customers). Even though some do permit overselling, in the majority of the situations you are restricted by the server disk space and bandwidth quota restrictions of your hosting reseller plan. It is like a sphere, which you fill up with tinier spheres - when you have filled it all up, you cannot add more.

Sell VPS hosting plans or dedicated accounts

The majority of the hosting corporations providing VPS hosting plans and dedicated hosting do not really mind if you utilize the virtual server or the dedicated hosting server to sell website hosting accounts. If you decide to resell website hosting accounts availing of a dedicated hosting server, you will have total control over the whole server, the opportunity to carry out any configuration modifications you deem fit and the ability to keep an eye on all the account owners hosted on it. The virtual servers offer similar options, but in most instances you cannot carry out any kernel modifications or changes, which involve kernel module reconfiguration. The best web hosting CP tool that permits you to resell web hosting accounts utilizing your dedicated server or virtual private web hosting server is, once again, cPanel, even though you can also make use of DirectAdmin, depending on which Control Panel tool befits your needs better.

What do you require to be a reseller?

In order to become a reseller and commence your reseller hosting business, you demand a website, a billing platform, a merchant account with a payment processor like PayPal, WorldPay, MoneyBookers, 2CheckOut, etc., and an SSL certificate to make sure that your clients' details are safe when they make payments via your website when ordering a service. Famous invoicing systems that you can make use of are WHMCS, AWBS and ClientExec. The guys at ResellersPanel, however, give you a free-of-charge hosting reseller account with all that included in it - a ready-to-use website, a billing platform and even technical support for your clients.
