The
web hosting market is one of the fastest growing industries in the
world today.
More than 5 million domain names are registered every year. All these
web sites have one thing in common: They have to be hosted somewhere to
be visible on the Internet.
Traditionally the
web hosting business was restricted to the few companies who had the
capital to provide the necessary infrastructure and support.
Not
any more: Whether you are a web
designer that wants to provide top quality hosting to your clients at a
reasonable price, or a market oriented individual who realises the
enormous profit potential of the web hosting industry, you can now
start your own hosting company with virtually no capital.
Your web hosting
business is an excellent way to build up a residual income. Decide on
the monthly income that you want to earn, calculate how many hosting
packages you will need to sell to reach this income, set yourself a
reasonable time limit in which to reach this, and you are on your way
to true financial independence.
With a stable
client base and hosting thousands of unique domain web sites, our goal
is to insure that our reseller partners are able to maximise on their
profits by
operating a service that returns maximum margin.
If you are a
reseller, we guarantee that we will never contact your clients in any
way. You handle basic support, and contact us if you are unable to sort
out a problem yourself. You bill your clients whatever price you want.
We have been in business for more than three years now, and we plan to
be here for many years to come.
We highly
recommend that you make an intensive study of our comprehensive manual
on how
to start your own web hosting business.
Reseller Web Hosting – how it
works
There are basically two ways for a
reseller
web hosting account to work:
(1) Dedicated Server: You can lease or rent a dedicated server and
either configure it or have it configured
to meet your requirements and then allocate portions of it to
individuals.
This type of reselling takes a good bit of technical knowledge and
expertise since you will be partially responsible for the hardware or
software.
(2) Shared Hosting: With this type, you buy an allocated amount of
storage space and bandwidth on a shared host account and then divide it
up and resell to others. The support of the web server remains the
responsibility of the hosting provider, but the third party clients
remain your responsibility.
While resellers’ accounts can be created by anyone, the bulk of all
resellers are web designers/developers, small business consultants, or
marketers who want to offer their clients with a complete package of
services plus web host. Most these resellers use shared hosting.
Other resellers are usually internet marketers or web publishers who
own several websites or blogs and wish to save money by hosting all
their sites under one account. Depending on the size or number of their
sites, these resellers can use either a shared or dedicated server.
The remaining resellers are in the web hosting industry and lease one
or more dedicated servers for their business to market and resell to
individuals or various specialty markets.
Reseller Web Hosting – how to make or save money
Say as a web developer; you buy 1700MB of disk storage space and 50 GB
of bandwidth from a hosting vendor for $55 a month. You can now offer
10 of your web design clients a 150MB space + 5GB of bandwidth web
account for $15 a month as part of their website package. You would
profit $95 a month in revenue. Over time as you client list grows this
passive income can become substantial.
Or say you are a web publisher with 12 blogs and or websites all
together and each costs $10 a month or $120. You could get a resellers
and host all of them on the 1700MB for $55. You would save $65 a month.
This may not seem like a lot but some web publishing companies own
hundreds of websites.
