Overview

If you have been looking into finding a web host, you may not have initially considered reseller hosting. But it could be time to take a closer look …

Reseller hosting is a form of web hosting in which the account owner can use their allotted hard drive space and bandwidth to host websites for third parties. With reseller hosting, the reseller purchases the host's services wholesale and then sells them to customers at a profit. A certain portion of hard drive and bandwidth is allocated to the reseller hosting account under a reseller hosting arrangement. The reseller may rent a dedicated server from a hosting company, or resell shared hosting services.

The typical web reseller hosting organisation might be a web design firm, web developer or systems integrator who offers hosting as an add-on service. Reseller hosting is also an inexpensive way for web hosting entrepreneurs to start a company.

Most reseller hosting plans allow resellers to create their own service plans and choose their own pricing structure. In many reseller hosting arrangements, resellers establish their own branding via customised control panels and name servers.

Reseller hosting does not require extensive knowledge of some of the more technical aspects of web hosting. Usually, the data centre operator is responsible for maintaining network infrastructure and hardware, and the dedicated server owner configures, secures, and updates the server. With reseller hosting, a reseller is responsible for dealing with their own customers, but any hardware, software and connectivity problems are typically forwarded to the server provider from whom the reseller hosting plan was bought. Being a profitable reseller hosting firm usually means extensive advertising to get customers. While the monthly fees with major hosts are only a few pounds a month, reseller hosting is a low margin business, and reseller hosting organisations need large advertising budgets to compete with established competitors. However, web hosting is one of the biggest online businesses, because every website needs hosting, whether that’s reseller hosting or any other kind, so it is possible to make money through reseller hosting.

Reseller hosting schemes vary widely, but most fall into one the following categories.

In some reseller hosting programmes, the reseller acts as an agent for the web hosting company. The reseller advertises the service as being with the actual web hosting company. People buy direct from the web hosting company, but the reseller takes a cut if customers mention the reseller hosting company’s name.

With other reseller hosting packages, the reseller acts as a marketer for the web hosting company. The reseller advertises the service as being with the actual web hosting company. People buy the service from the reseller hosting company, but any further contact after that is with the web hosting company.

With some reseller hosting, the reseller appears to be a web hosting company in their own right, handling sales and support but 'rebadges' somebody else's service. A customer buys web space from the reseller, who in turn buys web space more cheaply from the web hosting company. When customers need support, they contact the reseller hosting organisation.

A variant on this reseller hosting scheme is where the web hosting company invoices customers in the reseller's name and the reseller gets a cut. Support will usually be through the reseller hosting organisation.

Sometimes, the reseller hosting company buys a large chunk of web space and bandwidth from the web hosting company and can then carve that into individual chunks of space/bandwidth for sale to customers.
