What is Hosting Reseller?
The World Wide Web is a key part of everyone's everyday life. Everybody desires to set up their own web site, whether for entertainment, for socialisation or commercial purposes. The shared hosting business niche is blossoming. Why not get a piece of the pie yourself?
What can you sell?
The majority of the companies offer Linux-powered web hosting solutions. Linux is a multitasking OS, which is very adequate for both dedicated and shared web hosting servers. The typical hosting reseller scheme that companies provide is the cPanel one, as the cPanel CP user interface offers 3 access levels - root (reserved for the hosting company itself), reseller (that is where you enter) and user (for your customers). Although some do allow overselling, in the majority of the instances you are restricted by the data storage space and monthly traffic 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.
Resell virtual private servers plans or dedicated hosting servers
The bigger part of the web hosting firms providing virtual private servers plans and dedicated server do not really mind if you use the VPS web server or the dedicated web server to resell website hosting accounts. If you choose to resell website hosting accounts utilizing a dedicated hosting server, you will have full authority over the whole machine, the opportunity to perform any config modifications you think fit and the opportunity to keep an eye on all the hosting account holders hosted on it. The virtual private web hosting servers offer comparable specs, but in the majority of the cases you cannot make any kernel changes or modifications, which involve kernel module reconfiguration. The best Control Panel GUI that permits you to sell website hosting accounts utilizing your dedicated hosting server or VPS is, again, cPanel, although you can also utilize DirectAdmin, depending on which web hosting Control Panel software fulfills your taste better.
What do you require to become a hosting reseller?
In order to become a hosting reseller and launch your web hosting business, you demand a website, a billing software platform, a merchant account with an online payment processor such as PayPal, WorldPay, MoneyBookers, 2CheckOut, and so on, and a Secure Sockets Layer certificate to ensure that your customers' details are secure when they make payments via your web site when ordering a product. Well-known billing software platforms that you can utilize are WHMCS, AWBS and ClientExec. The guys at Consultingforge.name, however, give you a free-of-cost hosting reseller account with all that included in it - a ready-to-use website, an invoicing software platform and even technical support for your customers.
