WHM/cPanel Reseller Cloud Hosting
Reseller hosting is just what it sounds like. It’s a type of web hosting in which the owner of the account can use his or her dedicated hard drive space/bandwidth in order to host websites for a third party. The reseller buys only the host’s services, not any product, at a wholesale price and then “resells” these services to clients. Of course, most of the time this is done for a profit and it can be quite a lucrative strategy if done well. There will be a percentage of hard drive space/bandwidth dedicated solely to the reseller account.
As a reseller, you may decide to rent a dedicated server instead of buying one. A dedicated server is very expensive, some costing up to $200,000, which makes such a purchase impossible for the average small business or website owner. Renting is a more affordable option. Another option is for the reseller to resell their shared hosting services—they are granted permission to sell a percentage of disk space/bandwidth to customers of their own. This means their customers don’t have to buy or rent a server.
Who are These Resellers?
Most resellers are “in the industry” and are usually web developers, a web design company or systems integrators. They often offer web hosting as an additional feature, but it’s not the bread and butter of their business. For entrepreneurs, reseller hosting is a great and affordable means to get into small business ownership. You can usually customize pricing structures and services plans, which leads to easy branding with personalized servers and control panels.
Another perk of reseller hosting is that there’s not much technical knowledge or skill sets required. It’s the data center operator who needs to manage hardware, update servers, take care of network infrastructure and other nitty gritty details. The reseller only needs to manage its own customers—and that’s the bulk of it. This calls for advertising and marketing, but little technical skills. Since every website needs a web host, there are virtually unlimited customers out there, but also a lot of competition. Marketing dollars can help you stand out.
Resellers often bundle these services with complimentary end user support, SSL for hosting domain, SSL reseller account, domain reseller accounts and an easy billing/client management system. Some of the most common control panels include WHM/cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, Webmin and H-Sphere.
