What Exactly is Web Hosting Reseller?
The World Wide Web is a vital element in everybody's everyday life. Everybody desires to build their very own site, whether for pleasure, for socialization or commercial ends. The hosting industry niche is thriving. Why not take a part of the pie yourself?
What can you offer?
Most vendors offer Linux-based hosting services. Linux is a multi-user platform, which is very adequate for both dedicated web hosting and shared web hosting servers. The typical web hosting reseller scheme that vendors provide is the cPanel one, because the cPanel CP software offers three levels of access - root (designated for the host itself), reseller (that is where you come in) and user (for your clients). Although some do allow overselling, in most cases you are restricted by the content storage space and traffic restrictions of your web hosting reseller plan. It is like a sphere, which you stuff with smaller spheres - when you have stuffed it all up, you cannot add more.
Resell VPS plans or dedicated hosting servers
The majority of the hosting providers offering VPS plans and dedicated server do not really object if you use the Virtual Private Server or the dedicated server to sell web hosting accounts. If you elect to sell hosting accounts utilizing a dedicated hosting web server, you will have complete control over the entire machine, the possibility to implement any configuration modifications you want and the opportunity to monitor all the hosting account holders hosted on it. The VPS web servers offer comparable features, but in the majority of the cases you cannot carry out any kernel modifications or adjustments, which necessitate kernel module rearrangement. The best hosting Control Panel GUI that enables you to sell web hosting accounts using your dedicated hosting server or private virtual server is, once again, cPanel, although you can also utilize DirectAdmin, depending on which hosting Control Panel interface corresponds to your taste better.
What do you require to be a web hosting reseller?
In order to be a web hosting reseller and start your web hosting business, you require a website, an invoicing platform, 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 protected when they pay via your website when ordering a web hosting service. Famous invoicing software platforms that you can make use of are WHMCS, AWBS and ClientExec.
