Reseller or reselling web hosting is a means of providing web hosting to your clients under your own independent brand name. The actual web hosting is provided to you by a much larger organisation.
Being a web hosting reseller normally gives you the capability of creating your own hosting packages and pricing schedules which you can then sell on to your clients for a profit.
Reseller web hosting is a great way for website design and development companies to expand their ‘in house’ business capabilities by offering their own hosting packages along with the web sites they create. Reselling web hosting can also be an option for the entrepreneur looking to set up a small internet based business with low start-up costs and overheads.
Companies that provide reseller web hosting have various plans, some will sell you a fixed amount of disk space and bandwidth for a certain price that you can then divide up and resell however you wish. Other companies may offer a tiered discount structure based on the number of individual accounts that you have control over. In both cases reseller web hosting is usually anonymous and your customers will have no idea that you are reselling hosting to them.
