Reseller Hosting
Reseller hosting allows developers and technology firms to lease server space for resale to their clients. By portioning the memory and bandwidth on a server, resellers are able to offer value-added services to development clients or custom hosting plans as a service. Hosting providers work with resellers to scale their infrastructure, and resellers earn a profit by leasing customizable hosting plans.
Web developers, designers, and IT firms find reseller hosting makes project management more efficient. Imagine the time spent logging into your individual client servers each with their own configurations and support systems, and you can easily start to see how centralized hosting can improve work flow. As demand for hosting increases, resellers are able to provide hosting as an integrated service. With reseller hosting plans, developers are in complete control of the servers:
- Set your own configuration, package resources and account features with ease using automated software such as cPanel's Web Host Manager (WHM).
- Reseller hosting can help developers keep projects within budget, since shared hosting plans can be priced affordably.
- Scale offerings by adding new accounts, determining value-added upgrades, and automated migration from cPanel hosting accounts.
- Reseller hosts can lease accounts on servers to provide a direct business service or as a value-added product for an existing client base. Build a profitable model to scale existing client business or enter a market with a recurring revenue business model.
