Advantages of Reseller Hosting

Planning to start website hosting company, or are you looking for a large site that can handle all of your needs, a reseller hosting package may be the answer. 

If you are having a large website,or your website is getting lots of traffic, or you need several sites for your business, then with a very little investment on monthly basis you can purchase reseller hosting and it can provide a larger amount of features and space for your company. Many companies prefer to run different segments of their sites with different urls and different servers, which can become quite expensive. If you have a reseller plan, you can customise space of website according to the needs of the website instead of having to purchase additional hosting plans.

Reseller hosting is a plan that allows the account holder to resell web hosting services.The account holders can be website designers,or a person who want to start their own hosting business or simple want to resell hosting to customers. . The reseller splits the bandwidth and the drive space that is allotted to them to be able to sell to other people.

Depending on who you go with the main advantages are:-

1. You can brand the hosting in your own name so the nameservers can be in your company name or preferred name so the client will not know who you obtain your hosting from.

2. Some of the higher priced packages include billing software so you can automate renewals and automatically monitor bandwidth usage and notification.

3. Some of the higher priced reseller packages offer unlimited email accounts and MySQL databases.

4. You can offer cPanel access so the client can only access their website files and other services which you cannot offer if you have more than one client on a Retail package.

5. Potential drawback is that all clients would be on the same server so you may have to consider fallback/recover process or a Service Level Agreement with some form of guaranteed uptime.

6. Normally the average cost to you per client is less on the Reseller package but this will depend on the number of clients you have on the package and the location of your hosting.
