Reseller hosting allows individuals or businesses to purchase web hosting resources in bulk from a provider and then resell those resources to their own clients as their own branded hosting plans. Essentially, it’s a way to become a mini web hosting company without the need to manage the underlying server infrastructure.
How it works:
You buy a reseller hosting package from a hosting provider, which typically includes a certain amount of disk space, bandwidth, and other resources.
You then divide these resources:
You create your own hosting plans and sell them to your clients, setting your own prices and branding the service as your own.
The parent hosting company manages:
The underlying server infrastructure, including maintenance, security, and updates, is handled by the company you purchased the reseller package from.
Key benefits:
Reseller hosting allows for low startup costs, minimal technical expertise requirements, and the ability to build your own brand in the web hosting market.
