Reseller hosting is the provision of Web hosting services to companies that in turnact asWeb hosts for other companies.

It is a Web hosting business model in which a Web hosting service provider allowssome or all of their Web hosting services to be sold by an individual or third partyorganization.

Reseller hosting enables an organization to act as a Web hosting provider toother people or businesses without the need to build, operate and manage aWebhosting infrastructure.

It can be considered as a business development modelprovided by aWeb hosting service/provider.

Through this model, one or more organizations leaseout Web space that is packaged, rebranded and soldunder their brand name.

Depending on the primary hosting service provider,each reseller host may be provided with a completewhite/private labeled control panel to manage theirleased space and their particular customers.

Although the reseller host handles billing and technicalsupport, it is usually dependent on the primary host foradditional Web space and the resolution of technicalissues.

Lower cost –Reseller can purchase hosting for a reduced price at wholesaleaffordable rates. They tend to gain at part profits or full profits from overall resaleof hosting plans.

Reliability - Reliability is always an issue with any service provider. The one thingthat resellers can do is help their customers by providing them with adequateamounts of bandwidth and storage to help reduce issues and claims of instability.

Completely managed - All support and help requests are done with the resellercompany. Reseller hosting customers do not need to handle customer supportfor their service.

Scalability: Reseller can be more scalable than a typical hosting firm. A true Webhost is limited by its hardware; if a client suddenly requires an upgrade the host isnot prepared for, the only way the host will be able to satisfy the customer is byupgrading its hardware, which can be expensive, and time consuming for bothsides. In such case, the reseller host, however, can simply choose to locate with adifferentWeb host that will better suit the customer's needs.

Complete control over resources - Account owners of reseller hosting plans caneasily create their own plans to sell to others. An added benefit to many of thereseller hosting services is an automated system that allows for this type ofselling to be done.

If the servers are down frequently or there are other problems, resellers lose credibility with their clients.

If resellers have to change web hosts, the change can cause inconvenience to the resellers' clients as well as to the reseller.

Resellers have to wait for their upstream provider to fix problems that they do not have access to.

Bandwidth - The most important element of reseller hosting isthe bandwidth. This determines the amount of clients you will beable to service. For example, targeting e-commerce orphotography sites will require a large amount of bandwidth,while aiming at writers or bloggers can even be managed withlower bandwidth. In general, always review the terms.

Disk Space - Next important feature to consider is disk space.Again, if you’re targeting e- commerce or photography or otherdata-intensive niches, you’ll need plenty of disk space toaccommodate. Don’t forget to factor in all elements of a websitethat occupy disk space, not just databases, but also mail and mailattachments. Like with bandwidth, be wary of unlimited diskspace advertisements. Nothing is free, certainly not disk space.

Domains or How Many Clients You Can Serve - In contrastwith bandwidth and disk space, most web hosting companies actuallydo offer an unlimited amount of domains on their servers. This optionallows you to serve as many customers as you can, only limited bybandwidth and disk space. Of course, a limited option can bebeneficial as well, preventing you from selling hosting to too manyclients and letting the quality of hosting suffer.

Technical Support - Even an excellent web hosting option can bemarred by poor technical support. Before you commit to anyparticular company, make sure to review their technical supportoptions and test them. This is quite simple, actually. If they offersupport via live chat, telephone, or e-mail, contact them through allthree possibilities and ask simple technical questions. That way you’llbe able to gauge the quality of their service (or lack thereof).

Control Panels - A key aspect of any web hosting is the ability tomanage websites hosted on the server. Check if the hosting willsupport your control panel of choice and whether it will beappropriate for the segment you are targeting with your services.

Finding the Hidden Clauses - Finally, a good way to see whetherthe host you are about to choose is truly the best option, look for less-than-obvious clauses in the hosting agreement. Of particularimportance are upgrade and downgrade fees, limits on e-mail andmemory/CPU usage, any additional costs, such as non-refundable setup fees, and more.
