Web Hosting Reseller Definition
The World Wide Web is a key component of everybody's everyday life. Everybody desires to launch their very own personal web site, whether for entertainment, for socialization or commercial purposes. The shared hosting industry is thriving. Why not take a piece of the pie yourself?
What can you resell?
The majority of the vendors supply Linux-based web hosting services. Linux is a multitasking platform, which is very applicable for both dedicated web hosting and shared hosting servers. The typical web hosting reseller scheme that corporations offer is the cPanel one, as the cPanel CP graphical user interface includes three access levels - root (intended for the hosting supplier itself), reseller (that is where you enter) and user (for your customers). Even though some do permit overselling, in most instances you are bound by the server hard drive space and bandwidth 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 or dedicated web hosting servers
Most of the web hosting distributors providing virtual private servers and dedicated server do not really disapprove if you use the private virtual web server or the dedicated hosting web server to resell website hosting accounts. If you choose to sell website hosting accounts utilizing a dedicated web server, you will have total control over the entire physical server, the opportunity to perform any config changes you prefer and the ability to keep an eye on all the web hosting account owners hosted on it. The VPSs offer comparable specs, but in the majority of the cases you cannot perform any kernel modifications or adjustments, which involve kernel module rearrangement. The finest web hosting Control Panel GUI that enables you to sell website hosting accounts using your dedicated or Virtual Private Server is, once again, cPanel, although you can also make use of DirectAdmin, depending on which Control Panel software meets your taste better.
What do you require to become a web hosting reseller?
In order to be a hosting reseller and launch your hosting business, you demand a website, a billing system, a merchant account with a payment processor such as PayPal, WorldPay, MoneyBookers, 2CheckOut, etc., and an SSL certificate to make certain that your customers' info is protected when they make payments via your web site when purchasing a hosting service. Famous billing platforms that you can make use of are WHMCS, AWBS and ClientExec.
