Reseller Hosting

A reseller is one who gets a hosting package from another established web hosting company and sells it in small parts to his clients independently. As a reseller you can create your own Web hosting plans and you are free to resell each plan under your own brand name and set a price for those plans yourself.

You have full control over all of your clients hosting packages via central reseller control panel. You can add, remove and modify any of your clients domains within your reseller hosting plan directly from this central control panel, called web host manager.

Start small if you are very new to the concept of web hosting business, and then you can expand as you get more and more customers. To become a reseller, you don’t need to have a lot of technical knowledge, but some sales and internet marketing knowledge is required. Also, you do not require a lot of upfront investment.

All you need is a decent billing interface online or on your local machine to manage clients accounts. Providing 24×7 support to customers is very important if you wish to bring growth to your business and retain your existing clients.

Try to convince your friends, relatives and neighbors to host their accounts with you as local business will provide good foundation to your newly started business. Billing panels like modern bill, whmautopilot, clientexec or Lpanel are good options to automate signups and account activations. Starting reseller account on cpanel servers is always advisable as other control panels would be complicated for you to understand in the beginning.

HSphere is another control panel which provides very good interface for resellers to manage billing as well as hosting of client accounts. HSphere provides complete automation of hosting, account setup, billing and domain registration. Hsphere is not complicated like other control panels but its not as easy as cpanel.

Hsphere is a very stable control panel but once something is messed in configuration then it gets difficult to get it sorted in short time and thats why cpanel has got an upper hand in war of control panels. Hsphere supports windows hosting as well and thats the biggest advantage it has got over any other control panel offering windows support.

Plesk is another control panel for windows as well as Linux hosting and once you get addicted to Plesk then you will never migrate to any other control panel. All control panels have some advantages and disadvantages but cPanel, HSphere and Plesk have a upper hand in list of all control panels.
