1. What is Reseller Hosting?
Reseller hosting is where you are given a certain amount of bandwidth and disk
space just like any other regular web hosting plan, but instead of only having one
cPanel (control panel) for each domain, you can create many cpanels accounts
thereby hosting many domain names on one reseller account.
Reseller accounts are good for web designers or people who want to start their
own hosting company but don’t want to take on the costs of managing a
dedicated server etc.
Taking Reseller is a better option as compared to virtual private servers
or renting dedicated servers to start your own host because it will save you a
significant amount of money. If you were to rent dedicated servers, you would
also need to pay for things like cPanel, script installers, web page builders and
other addons. This can add up very quickly making your monthly cost go into
thousands of rupees.
When looking for a company to provide you with your reseller account, there are a
few things you should look for and take into consideration before buying. One
very important thing you should always consider while searching for host is
support. You want them to offer 24/7 support so they can assist you with any
problems or issues you have at any time of the day and even on holidays. 24/7
support is offered by most hosts today so it shouldn’t be very hard to find. Keep
in mind that you would need to provide support to your own customers and your
reseller company will not directly provide support to your customers.
