How Does Reseller Hosting Function?

The Internet is an essential part of everyone's daily agenda. Everybody would like to build their own site, whether for entertainment, for socialisation or commercial ends. The web hosting business is blooming. Why don't you get a piece of the pie yourself?

What can you resell?

The majority of the providers supply Linux-powered hosting solutions. Linux is a multitasking OS, which is very suitable for both dedicated web hosting and shared web hosting servers. The typical reseller hosting scheme that providers provide is the cPanel one, since the cPanel hosting Control Panel tool includes 3 levels of access - root (meant for the web host itself), reseller (that is where you come in) and user (for your customers). Even though some do permit overselling, in the majority of the cases you are restricted by the server disk drive storage space and monthly traffic limits of your reseller hosting plan. It is like a sphere, which you fill up with tinier spheres - when you have filled it all up, you cannot add more.

Resell VPS hosting services or dedicated web hosting server plans

The majority of the web hosting firms providing VPS hosting services and dedicated hosting do not actually mind if you utilize the virtual private web server or the dedicated web server to sell web hosting accounts. If you elect to resell web hosting accounts availing of a dedicated hosting web server, you will have complete authority over the entire server, the opportunity to implement any configuration adjustments you like and the opportunity to monitor all the web hosting account owners hosted on it. The virtual hosting servers offer similar features, but in the majority of the instances you cannot make any kernel adjustments or changes, which involve kernel module reconfiguration. The finest web hosting CP software that enables you to sell website hosting accounts utilizing your dedicated web server or VPS server is, again, cPanel, even though you can also use DirectAdmin, depending on which hosting CP graphical user interface fulfills your anticipations better.

What do you need to become a web hosting reseller?

In order to be a web hosting reseller and start your hosting business, you need a web site, a billing system, a merchant account with an online payment processor like PayPal, WorldPay, MoneyBookers, 2CheckOut, and so on, and a Secure Sockets Layer certificate to make certain that your customers' details are secure when they make payments via your web site when buying a hosting product. Famous invoicing systems that you can make use of are WHMCS, AWBS and ClientExec.
