Select Your Perfect Plan

While reseller hosting is available to everyone, it is ideal for those who plan to offer hosting services to others. It is perfect for web developers who often manage web hosting for their clients. Online entrepreneurs can also set up reseller businesses to profit from hosting services.

To put it simply, reseller hosting lets you buy hosting packages in bulk, and then sell them to your clients. The company you purchase from will provide the hardware, software, and general infrastructure to host your customers’ websites.

You can then brand the services as your own and manage the business aspects for your clients. In most setups, you’ll be in charge of customer support, billing, and allocating resources according to your clients’ needs. While the hosting company still covers the physical part of the deal, you’re taking on the role of the host for your clients.

Reseller hosting is generally marketed toward web-based companies with active client bases. You can increase your profits and keep customers loyal to your business by selling these services alongside what you already offer.

For example, if you sell web development or design services, you likely have customers looking for hosting. Therefore, you can resell packages to meet all of their needs, without the need to invest in and manage the infrastructure involved.

Step 1: Make a Business Plan - As with any business, it’s wise to create a plan when you branch into reseller hosting. This document can help you set goals, establish a budget, and guide your decisions. You might consider using a business plan template to guide you through this process.

Step 2: Choose Your Reseller Host - Choosing which hosting company you’ll partner with is perhaps the most crucial step. If you make the wrong choice, you might be stuck with a subpar product that your clients don’t want to use over the long term.

Step 3: Set Up Your Hosting Packages - Once you’ve purchased a plan, we recommend spending some time getting familiar with your hosting packages. Your chosen host might have a specialized dashboard where you can customize your plans and manage their resource allocations.

Step 4: Label Your Hosting and Market Your Plans to Customers - Ideally, you’ll have chosen a host that lets you white label your packages to fit your company branding. Now, you can take the time to customize your hosting plans so they fit your existing brand.

How Setup Works with Reseller Hosting
Under reseller hosting, the web host company is in charge of server setup, configuration and other related settings. The reseller simply manages a white label third party websites on their server. Reseller hosting does not provide as much control as a dedicated server; however, you have control over cPanel administration for all the third-party websites under your account.

How Setup Works with a Dedicated Server
Dedicated servers (unmanaged) are mostly self managed by you, the business owner, and this includes initial setup of hardware, software installations, security settings and configuration. With this option you are responsible for purchasing software licenses and managing the server on your own. Control is a dedicated server’s biggest advantage over reseller hosting. It allows you to install different software and make changes to the operating system as you wish. If you’re looking to have complete server control, then a dedicated server is your best option.

Reseller Hosting Prices
Reseller hosting packages come at different prices depending on the provider and the features contained within each plan. The key elements determining the price of a reseller hosting package are: storage and bandwidth, number of supported websites, RAM and CPU per cPanel account, number of cPanel accounts, web hosting type, dedicated IP, email accounts.

Reseller Hosting SolutionWhite-label hosting allows you to sell the hosting service with your branding. It is ideal for businesses that do not want their clients to know that their hosting services come from a third-party company.

Scalability
You need to increase your hosting package resources as your customer base grows. If your chosen host does not allow easy scalability, you will have difficulty getting the resources necessary to accommodate increasing demand. This delay can repel new customers and hurt your business.

Ease-of-Use
The crux of the matter regarding usability is the control panel. You and your clients need a control panel to manage the hosting services. There are many control panel options, we currently only provide cPanel licenses. Another vital tool to look out for is client billing management solutions. A good billing solution like WHMCS allows you to easily handle invoices and other billing processes.

Backup Support
Backup is essential as anything can happen to your website or your clients. An automated backup system is the industry standard since it automatically creates a backup of your website at specified intervals. This way, your data is always safe, and you can restore any backups if necessary.

24/7 Support
You must choose a web host that offers 24/7 customer support. Problems can occur anytime, and prompt access to technical support can determine whether the issue will break or make your business. We recommend you look for a provider that supports you and your clients. However, note that the parent host will not respond directly to your customers. You will have to be the one to manually direct the issue to your parent host’s customer support team. This extended support will allow you to provide reliable and helpful customer support to your clients.
