Learn About Reseller Hosting

Reseller Hosting Explained:

A reseller hosting account, is where the web host buys a bulk plan from the reseller hosting company then subdivides that plan into smaller pieces to on-sell, or resell, to the individual user. The reseller host provides larger scale hosting packages, where for a fixed cost; substantial amounts of space and bandwidth are made available, together with the ability to host bulk domain names. The individual web host can then concentrate on providing packages and plans to attract customers, without the need for having their own server, and without the need to manage and maintain that server. All of that is taken care for them.

Who Uses Reseller Hosting?

Many web hosting companies are in fact reselling the server space and bandwidth of another company. Using a reseller is an extremely effective way to break into the web hosting industry, generally for a reasonable monthly cost, without the worry of server management, maintenance, and dealing with data centers. It essentially is a stepping stone for new and small web hosts, where they can provide hosting services initially, then when they have out grown their reseller hosting; generally through their client base increasing, they can easily move on to their own semi-dedicated, or dedicated server.

Another use for reseller web hosting is those that want to run hundreds of small websites using just one plan. Usually, reseller hosting provides you with unlimited domain hosting, which will help save you a lot of money. It is better to go with a reseller web host than to purchase a small hosting plan for each website you want to run. The savings by going with a reseller host such as HostGator or HostNine is huge!

How Do I Choose a Reseller Plan?

Each reseller provider offers different packages at different prices. The old adage “you get what you pay for” is certainly true when it comes to reseller web hosts. Price is not always the most important factor when it comes to reseller hosts. Often, the top things sighted as being most important by a customer of a reseller web host are:

1. Support
2. Uptime
3. Communication
4. Price.
