Hosting Reseller Definition

The Internet is an essential fragment of our everyday life. Everyone would like to create their own online portal, whether for amusement, for socialisation or business ends. The shared hosting business is blossoming. Why not take a chunk of the pie yourself?

What can you sell?

Most providers offer Linux-powered hosting solutions. Linux is a multi-user platform, which is very apposite for both dedicated web hosting and shared hosting servers. The usual hosting reseller scheme that providers provide is the cPanel one, since the cPanel CP software allows 3 access levels - root (reserved for the web hosting vendor itself), reseller (that is where you come in) and user (for your customers). Even though some do allow overselling, in the majority of the circumstances you are bound by the storage space and monthly bandwidth restrictions of your hosting reseller package. It is like a sphere, which you stuff with smaller spheres - when you have stuffed it all up, you cannot add more.

Promote virtual private servers packages or dedicated hosting server plans

The bigger part of the web hosts providing virtual private servers packages and dedicated server do not really mind if you use the virtual private hosting server or the dedicated hosting server to sell website hosting accounts. If you decide to sell web hosting accounts availing of a dedicated server, you will have complete control over the entire machine, the ability to implement any configuration modifications you see fit and the opportunity to keep track of all the hosting account owners hosted on it. The VPS servers offer similar specs, but in the majority of the cases you cannot perform any kernel adjustments or changes, which require kernel module rearrangement. The finest hosting Control Panel tool that permits you to resell web hosting accounts utilizing your dedicated hosting server or VPS web hosting server is, again, cPanel, even though you can also make use of DirectAdmin, depending on which web hosting CP satisfies your desires better.
