What is?
Reseller Web Hosting
Reseller web hosting, also known as partner web hosting, is a form of web hosting wherein the account owner has the ability to use his/her allotted hard drive space and bandwidth to host websites on behalf of third parties. The reseller purchases the web host's services wholesale and then sells them to his/her customers for a profit. The certain portion of hard drive and bandwidth is allocated to partner or reseller account. In order to achieve this the partner or reseller may rent a dedicated server from a web hosting company or resell shared web hosting services. If the latter is the case the partner or reseller is simply given the permission to sell a certain amount of disk space and bandwidth to his/her own customers without renting a server from a web hosting company he/she signed for a partner or reseller account with.
The typical web hosting reseller or partner might be a web design firm, web developer or systems integrator who offers web hosting as an add-on service. Partner or Reseller web hosting is also an inexpensive way for web hosting entrepreneurs to start a company. Most partner or reseller web hosting plans allow the partners or resellers to create their own web hosting service plans and choose their own web hosting pricing structure. In many cases, the partners or resellers are able to establish their own branding via customized control panels and name of web servers.
Reseller web hosting does not require extensive knowledge of the technical aspects of web hosting. Usually, the data center operator is responsible for maintaining network infrastructure and hardware, and the dedicated server owner configures/secures/updates the server. A reseller is responsible for interfacing with his/her own customer base, but any hardware, software and connectivity problems are typically forwarded to the server provider from whom the reseller plan was purchased.
Through point and click "Control Panels" (as listed below), the partners or resellers can set up and manage their customer accounts via a web interface. In addition, the ModernBill software is popular among web hosting resellers, as it automates web hosting account creation and billing. Most of the partner or reseller web hosting companies offer different partner or reseller web hosting plans.
