How does reseller hosting operate?
What is the customer base of the reseller web hosting service providers?
It is comprised of web site designers or web design corporations dealing chiefly with site design solutions. Small ISPs, prominent SEO web architects and various web entrepreneurs are also part of the hosting reseller scene.
Popular reseller site hosting patterns
These days, the most famous business type is the cPanel reseller web hositng solution, where the reseller pays in advance for a chosen reseller hosting account (with fixed quotas of data storage, traffic, hosted TLDs, and so on on a monthly basis (at wholesale rates). Then the reseller account is split into miniature shared web space hosting plans, which are subsequently sold to the customers at retail rates chosen by the reseller. The reseller's revenue is formed by the difference between the wholesale and the retail hosting prices.
cPanel's 3rd party billing transaction management software setup
The cPanel-based hosting reseller has to take care of the invoicing transaction management platform supply (a merchant account integrated into a third party invoicing system is compulsory) and the 24x7 client and sales support platform provision. The reseller also plays the role of a bridge between the customers and the Top-Level Domain registrar where the top-level domain names are actually being registered, relocated or renewed on clients' behalf (a domains reseller account operating with the invoicing transaction management platform is wanted too).
No domain, invoicing transaction and trouble ticket management interfaces in cPanel?!?
While on the subject, cPanel does not have any domain registration, invoice transaction and trouble ticket administration user interfaces. Those are included in the 3rd party billing transaction management software system. Truly inspiring. And modern. An avant-garde 21st century solution: 2 customer login locations (the cPanel hosting CP itself and the invoice transaction/client support/domain name management tool). And that's just the beginning...
Rare, yet better reseller hosting alternatives
In very rare circumstances you might be fortunate to discover other quite rewarding cloud hosting reseller schemes, such as the one invented by ResellersPanel. There are no monthly reseller fees or deposits. It's as plain as that: if a sale is made, there is a charge, in all other cases - there is not. Sounds like with ResellersPanel there are no commercial risks for the resellers. We think that ResellersPanel's operating model is perhaps way better than the now very popular cPanel hosting reseller system. Read on to discover why.
ResellersPanel - the danger-free reseller web hosting model
In the first place, as opposed to the cPanel reseller website hosting suppliers, ResellersPanel will not tax the reseller one single cent. Not unless the reseller makes any new transactions or renewals. Which is very reasonable, as a matter of fact. This decreases the commercial risks to ground-zero degrees. With ResellersPanel's hosting reseller system, the reseller is not mixed up with monthly or annual down payments, subscriptions, reseller taxes or deposits whatsoever. Whereas the popular cPanel reseller hosting setup depends chiefly on monthly or annual down payments and fees, which signifies... much greater economic hazards. Unlike ResellersPanel's reseller webspace hosting system, the cPanel reseller hosting model is not interested in whether the reseller has generated any deals or not - the monthly or annual reseller subscriptions must be paid out in a timely manner, in other words must be paid up front. Period.
US, European and Aussie cloud web hosting packages
ResellersPanel is not only a risk-free reseller website hosting program. ResellersPanel provides ACTUAL CLUSTERED WEB SPACE HOSTING packages for reselling. Everywhere else, there is some limited evidence for the presence of a cloud hosting environment. The cloud hosting packages the resellers can custom create and trade under their web site hosting brand names are available at four server farm facility locations: in the United States, in the United Kingdom, in Sweden and in Australia! How many cPanel-based reseller site hosting merchants supply multi-continent server farm facility location options? How many cPanel web hosting companies offer cloud hosting services to the resellers and to their customers?
Private virtual web server hosting, semi-dedicated hosting and dedicated server web hosting reseller plans
How many reseller web hosting vendors, aside from ResellersPanel, permit their resellers to promote virtual servers, semi-dedicated servers and dedicated servers at extremely competitive rates? Hepsia, the industry-leading hosting Control Panel, is included there as well, by default, at no extra or additional fee. Unlimited hosted domain names, SSH and complete root access are also part of the feature-rich server packages. What's more, the resellers can also provide more than fifty generic and country code top-level domains and SSL certificates to their clients.
