Website Host Reselling to Earn Extra Cash From The Internet

Website hosting business is a multimillion dollar business on the internet. It is a mega business that has generated millions of dollars for its operators. Mega companies like www.lonex.com, www.hostgator.com etc are making a huge kill doing this business.

Come to think of it, every website needs a webhost. You need a webhost to put up your designed website on to cyberspace so that the whole wide world can see.

Web hosting is all about providing virtual landed properties for website owners online. It is a business which involves allocation of space to website owners online and through which the sites operate. This is a little known business, the noise all this while has been towards the design but the hosting aspect is a gold mine yet to be tapped.

Web hosting can be an exciting business start up for a budding net preneur and you can be accurately rewarded for it. All you have to do to set up is becoming a Host Reseller, which is you will be providing hosting facilities to website owners. What you will be doing is to buy a big space from the hosting company and redistribute the hosting space to other website owners for a fee.

Resellers are nothing but entrepreneurs acting as middlemen offering hosting services to intending website owners without the clients necessarily having their own hosting facilities. Most of the time, the quality of services offered by resellers are so good that consumers do not have the idea that they are dealing with resellers who do not have servers. The good thing is that resellers can pick and choose their servers; they are basically in position to provide the customers with the best of service.

There are different plans available which are based on the bandwidth and the corresponding price ranges.

With each plan. Unlimited customized websites can be created and hosted.

Countless domains and sub domains, email accounts (based on the domain name) etc can be created.

However, you must ensure that any host, you intend signing up with must have the following

They must have a 99.9% uptime

Excellent 24 Hours customer support

The control panel must not be complicated

Easy to maneuver billing system

Reseller hosting business can be profit making venture when you understand the rudiments of the business. Let us go through them. One can buy around 1000MB space from a web host at a cost of $25 per month. This 1000Mb space that you now own can in turn be redistributed to site owners who need space for uploading and hosting their site. Here you can give about 25MB space for around $13. When you are able to sell about 40 units, your monthly income should be $520.

Host allows you to oversell the space and does not charge you extra except the actual usage of your account except you exceed 1000MB. It is observed that a typical user uses less than the allotted space, which means you can double or even triple your investment and make unlimited wealth. And mind you, this income is residual in nature. It will keep coming to you monthly and yearly depending on the plan. You do the work once and you will be paid over and over again. All you are doing is just to buy space from a major host company and you become the reseller host. Your efforts are focused towards selling hosting space and your web host handles the rest. Some even handle customer service for a small fee and some at no cost at all, which makes it easier for you.

If this is not enough, you can earn additional residual income by adding or recruiting more resellers through you. By doing this, you will earn residual commissions on their monthly sales…isn’t this smart business? The profit margin in the reseller hosting is quite good and you can start even if you don’t have the required expertise and access to funds for setting up the required infrastructure. The only important thing for you to do is to choose a web host that has 99.999% uptime if not 100%. There are some hosts that are totally unreliable and you have to stay clear of them or else, you will lose credibility before your clients.

When you as the reseller signup, you automatically gain access to the reseller's control panel (Cpanel) & Web Host Manager (WHM). What this WHM does is that it enables you to administer and make available to your clients their own user control panels (CPanel) which will help them to set up their own web sites. When your client logs into the CPanel they are able to control their own sub domains, email addresses, passwords and much more without requiring any help! I have come to understand that it is very easy to set up. Just follow the prompting and if there are issues, the host company should be available 24 hrs to render phone support and email services.

You will agree with me that this is a gold mine yet to be tapped. You might be wondering how people will get to know about your reseller services. Just simply set up your own website with the domain name related to the services rendered and you market aggressively just as you will market your article or any other website.
