So you are thinking about becoming a web hosting reseller?
A web hosting reseller program is a great idea if you already own several web sites and/or offer web master type services like web design or domain name registration. If your clients are also potential customers for a web hosting service that you can establish to provide a range of web master related services, resources and products it is ideal. As a web hosting reseller you focus on YOUR products and use them yourself for multiple domain names or resell web hosting space to shared web hosting clients.
Why Become a Web Hosting Reseller? - The Advantages
* Reseller hosting allows you to brand your own web hosting service. Remember that web hosting is a service which every web site needs. So the market is wide open. Free web hosting deals just don't give people all the tools they need.
* You will have relatively little to learn to become a web hosting reseller. Sure you need to understand the basics of web hosting but it's a fairly simple process so there is less time and stress involved in establishing yourself.
* As a web hosting reseller you can offer cheap web hosting as an incentive for web masters to use your other web master services.
* You can create your own unique web hosting plans, deals and services by setting up your own web hosting company at prices you decide on. You will only be required to pay one fee for a large amount of web space. You then sell portions of it to your clients.
* As a web hosting reseller you are able to set up shared web hosting accounts at affordable rates for those who have basic web sites with few hits and then demand an extra fee for upgrading.
* Web hosting reseller programs allow you to operate your own web hosting company or, if you are a web designer, for example you may want to host several clients' sites under one control banner. This type of program also suits those involved in setting up small networks of related sites.
* The current market is not nearly as saturated as that of shared or budget hosting.
* As a web hosting reseller you usually have all the advantages of a provider but no operating costs!
