Reseller Web Hosting
Back To Home Page
Reseller hosting is a form of web hosting wherein the account owner may split up their allotted hard drive space and bandwidth and resell web hosting.

Reseller hosting generally requires little knowledge of web hosting services in order to get started. Reseller hosts are generally not responsible for maintaining web server services, or other maintenance related tasks. This job is held by the owner of the dedicated server in which the reseller host is hosted.

This article is slightly technical in nature as I have tried to pack as much information as possible in a few paragraphs. If you want to start a reseller business, you must read as much information as possible. You can find detailed information on reseller web hostingfor free on hundreds of web sites.

Through Control Panels, reseller hosting is made simple and straightforward. Some of the reseller programs offer custom Control Panel for their resellers customers but a major part of the reseller programs offer the popular, well-known Control Panels. Control panel is a collection of web page through which the reseller administers his account.
Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center.

A shared web hosting service or virtual hosting service is a form of web hosting service where more than one web site is hosted on the same server. It is generally the most economical option for hosting as many people share the overall cost of server maintenance.
However, some providers offer Microsoft Windows based solutions. The Plesk control panel, for instance, has two versions - for Linux and Windows, both with very similar interfaces and functionality, with the exception of OS-specific differences (for example, supporting ASP.NET, or Microsoft SQL Server on Windows).

There are thousands of shared hosting providers in the United States alone. They range from mom-and-pop shops, to small design firms, to multi-million dollar providers with hundreds of thousands of customers. A large portion of the shared web hosting market is driven through Pay Per Click advertising (PPC) or Affiliate programs.

There are thousands of web hosting companies and hundreds of them are great. I can tell you of my experience. It is upto you to do your own research and take a decision. I have used many web hosting companies. Most of them are good. However, I find HostGator.com to be an excellent web hosting company. I have many, many websites on their servers. If you don't know much about web hosting, then sign up with this web hosting company and you will be glad that you did. Whether you are in India or in Antarctic, you can host your website with the US web hosting company HostGator.com . All you need is a credit card or a paypal account.

If you don't have a credit card. you will have to find a local web hosting company. 99% of these 'local web hosting' company actually buy reseller hosting account from companies such as HostGator.com, subdivide the account, resell it  and make decent profit.
