When I was younger I had trouble making money off of resellers. If course I didn’t really know what I was doing.
Hi, admin
I quote this “one should select a good reseller web hosting service provider”, do you have any recommended web hosting service provider? I think I must keep on researching for this kind of business. Thanks admin for sharing these ideas.

I am planning to start the business of web hosting reselling and was searching the net to get some great information. Your information is very useful and extremely unique.
Everyone likes the idea of making money online. One great way to get a business started online that does not take as much equipment as others is to become a reseller. What this means is that you become a reseller of domain names and/or web hosting services.
When you are looking for hosting for your service there are some things that you need to be sure to look into. After all, this is a business and you need to have the ability to provide your customers with quality service.
Server – You have a few choices here. You can buy your own server or you can use virtual servers. The server does have to be dedicated. Some reseller web hosts will offer you the use and support of their servers. Depending on the kind of server (Unix, Windows, Linux) you have it will be the deciding factor in which kinds of script you can support as a reseller. You may want to look into what customers are generally looking for and make sure that you get a server that will support what your customers need.
I have no intentions of trying to make money from hosting, but I chose hostgator’s reseller package to host my websites. I decided that it was the best option for me to host about 16 websites under 1 account. I might host a friend’s website for cheap down the road, but I don’t know enough about the technical side of hosting to offer it to others.

Thats actually a pretty good move. Let me try that too.
I myself haven’t tried out any reseller hosting, but the company that I used to work for used to offer clients web hosting from their reseller account and it seems to work for them. Just an extra way to make some income.
You will find that most web develop companies offer web hosting as one of their services. Most likely the hosting is provided via their reseller hosting account. A few years ago I had a few sites developed by a web development firm and choose to take their offer to host my sites. Boy was I surprised to find out after a couple months that my site emails were not getting to their destinations as expected. The reason being is this particular company obtained a reseller account from their provider, and on that particular server were multiple reseller hosting providers. A friend pointed me to an online tool that allowed me to look up the server ip address to determine how many sites were hosted on my particular server. There was almost 8000 sites. All utilizing the same server and ip address. When addressing these issues with my hosting provider they were not very pleasant.
So you should take the time to obtain additional information on your hosting provider, and ensure to check the ip address of your websites often to ensure it is not black listed with the major spam lists out there at the very least. The more sites being hosted on the same ip address as your own can have huge draw backs for you site. Especially if you are running an ecommerce site or the like.
There’s tons of money waiting to be made in this web-hosting platform. Hostgator is my pick. Talking about making more by working less, i choose web hosting reseller a good choice to put some cash into your account!
I dont know a lot about reseller web hosting but have purchased shared hosting myself for some time now. Seems to work really well. I use HostGator and they are pretty good, they also have 24 hour support staff which you can chat to via live chat which is pretty cool
i think, quality is very important. Do not fear those who provide quality service
Doing this business you must have all the necessary information about domains, and how does the business goes? You all have knowledge about the laws and regulations in doing this business. To prevent any illegal issues.
Web hosting is a huge industry and it is far from being saturated – competition is steep but I am pretty sure there is still money to be made! Reseller Web Hosts have their target. It’s good for those who need to expand, but are not ready for a dedicated server.
I’ve been in reseller hosting business myself for a couple of years now. The competition is very stiff indeed, you will have to work hard just to get a few unique visitors coming from search engines. If you’re just starting out in the seo business I would suggest going with something less competitive so you can gain necessary knowledge of link building before jumping in something like reseller web hosting business.
I love my Hostgator Reseller account. I can have all of my clients sites in one place so if they need us to work on the sites, it’s a real simple process for us. Best $40 per month that I have ever spent.
Anybody who operates several websites as part of a business should have a reseller account. In the unfortunate event that your host suspends one of your accounts for bandwidth overuse, etc. all your other sites are still active. This is not the case with shared hosting, which can be detrimental to your business if your acct gets suspended.
I have no intentions of trying to make money from hosting
When it comes to internet business i am a starter. So I’m thanking this blog, it would really give me knowledge about making money online.
Any feedback from you?
