What's Reseller hosting ?

A lot of web hosting firms offer reseller hosting service. With reseller hosting, the account owner of reseller hosting service rents out portion of the disk space and bandwidth he receives to other end users. Therefore, the account owner is like a hosting service provider to those end users.
In most reseller hosting packages, individual control panels are offered to end users. However, the end users of reseller hosting may not have the same level of technical support that other customers receive from established web hosting firms. This is due to the fact that account owners of reseller hosting services are not required to have extensive knowledge of web hosting. In fact, most of the account holders of reseller hosting are entrepreneurs who are starting up their hosting business rather than experienced webmasters.

Here are the steps to beginning your own reseller business:

• If you are unfamiliar with the world of web hosting, email management and domain services, we suggest you take the time to research and understand the full scope of what you will be undertaking. Many web designers and coders find that transitioning to also being a reseller allows full control of a client’s web presence and management.
• Reselling is much like any other business in that it requires hard work, effort and some start-up capital. Like any business, you will need:
  
  •     A powerful, reliable computer for running your business. A laptop will allow you to work from multiple locations.
  •     High speed internet. Get the best you can afford.
• Choose a hosting plan from the aforementioned options based on your budget and the amount of customers you feel you can grow to in the next three years.
• Get a good web host.  This is probably the most important step in this process or I wouldn’t have underlined it.
  
• Set customer pricing.  This can be tricky. You are competing with companies who offer $1.00 pricing online and others who can charge hundreds of dollars.  Research pricing and then break down your resources. Divide up server cost, operational costs and other factors. Websites needing secure certificates for e-commerce will be charged a higher rate as will companies demanding more space and bandwidth.
• Build an e-commerce website with a helpdesk.  Adding an ecommerce option to your company’s website will allow you to take credit card payments online, saving you the hassle of cashing checks.  Encourage users to set up automated billing so that you have to worry less about tracking each payment.  Also set up a help desk option where customers can contact you if trouble arises.
• Create business documents. Templates found online can be helpful in creating proposals, agreements and terms of service. Be sure you carefully craft these important documents and have your lawyer review them for accuracy. Also create an informative email to send to customers after they have signed up giving them their access codes, URLs, and email information. We have found it is helpful to highlight and bold the first line that reads, “IMPORTANT. This email contains important information and passwords you will need now and in the future. You must keep this email.”
