Become a web hosting entrepreneur through reseller hosting

Reseller hosting is an opportunity for entrepreneurs to make money by selling on web hosting to third parties. An agreement will be made with the original web host that a certain amount of drive space is to be set aside for reseller hosting. The amount of disk space and services that the reseller is able to sell on may depend on the agreement they have with the web hosting company.

Reseller hosting does not necessarily require much in the way of technical expertise as all communication is with the web host. An agreement with the original web hosting company will mean that they will undertake to maintain the hardware and the dedicated server owner if there is one will continually update the server, manage any software problems and ensure connectivity. The reseller host will be mainly responsible for interfacing with their own customers and any problems will be passed back to the original web hosting company.

Being a successful reseller host involves signing up as many customers as possible to compete with the large web hosting companies. Resellers will manage their business via control panels on their web interface. The web hosting control panel examples could be: WHM/cPanel; Webmin; DirectAdmin; and Plesk.

Often resellers are web page designers and will offer hosting as an add-on facility to customers. Reseller hosting is also a good way for an internet entrepreneur to launch themselves as a company where most web hosting companies will allow their resellers to set up their own pricing, and customise their own control panels and name servers.

We at Heart Internet offer full support to our reseller customers, which includes unlimited bandwidth and web space and the facility to host any number of domains plus the customization of their own control panels.
