What Indeed is Web Hosting Reseller?
The World Wide Web has become an integral staple in everyone's everyday routine. Everyone wants to build their own website, whether for amusement, for socialisation or business purposes. The shared hosting industry niche is flourishing. Why don't you get a share of the pie yourself?
What can you sell?
Most firms supply Linux-based web hosting services. Linux is a multitasking platform, which is extremely apposite for both dedicated hosting and shared hosting servers. The usual web hosting reseller platform that companies provide is the cPanel one, because the cPanel Control Panel software allows three access levels - root (intended for the web hosting distributor itself), reseller (that is where you enter) and user (for your customers). Although some do permit overselling, in most situations you are restricted by the web content space and web traffic limitations of your web hosting reseller package. It is like a sphere, which you stuff with tinier spheres - when you have stuffed it all up, you cannot add more.
Sell virtual private servers plans or dedicated web server hosting packages
The greater part of the hosts providing virtual private servers plans and dedicated server do not really disapprove if you utilize the VPS server or the dedicated web server to resell website hosting accounts. If you decide to sell hosting accounts utilizing a dedicated server, you will have complete authority over the whole server, the possibility to carry out any config changes you think fit and the ability to monitor all the account holders hosted on it. The VPS web servers offer comparable specs, but in most instances you cannot carry out any kernel changes or adjustments, which involve kernel module reconfiguration. The finest CP software tool that enables you to resell website hosting accounts using your dedicated or virtual web server is, again, cPanel, even though you can also make use of DirectAdmin, depending on which web hosting Control Panel software tool fulfills your demands better.
What do you require to become a web hosting reseller?
