Apart from hosting resource-demanding sites, there is another reason to acquire a virtual or a dedicated server of your own - to create your hosting company. This is an ever expanding business, since a growing number of people and businesses start their online presence, so they need website hosting space and a domain name. If you have a hosting server, you can generate website hosting plans then sell them, so you can not only cover your expenses in case you host your personal sites on the server too, but you will also make a great profit by owning a successful business. What you need for that is a server, a billing program, that will be the link between the reseller site and your web space, plus a business account with a payment processor like PayPal or 2CheckOut, in order to be able to receive online payments. The benefit from reselling server space over the use of an ordinary reseller program is the fact that your customers will have extra resources and you'll be able to set up the server-side software which their websites may need so as to work properly. The aforementioned will not be possible with a shared website hosting reseller program, as you will have specific restrictions in this regard.
Reselling Options in VPS
If you purchase one of the powerful virtual private servers packages that we provide, we'll make it really easy for you to start a reseller business. We offer two web hosting Control Panels which will enable you to do this - cPanel and DirectAdmin. They both come with a reseller and a client level, so you can make package deals and start selling them very quickly. For cPanel-equipped servers, we also supply a free of charge domain reseller account with eNom, one of the largest domain name providers out there, that will save you the money that you will have to deposit when you sign up with them directly. What is more, we will give you the powerful ClientExec - an all-in-one billing and support solution that functions with all major payment processors. It will allow you to generate invoices, to set package prices and to provide ticket support to all your customers without difficulty. All of the VPS packages include full root-level access, which gives you full control of the server and will enable you to start and maintain a profitable web hosting reseller business.
Reselling Options in Dedicated Hosting
The dedicated server packages that we provide will help you create your own hosting company quickly. They come with sufficient computing power, physical memory and disk space to support a a large number of customers, no matter the type of Internet sites they run. You will also have root access to the server, so you'll be able to add any server-side app. Our packages include three separate web hosting Control Panels and two of them - cPanel and DirectAdmin, are ideal for your new hosting company, because they have two separate levels - client and reseller. When you buy the server with cPanel, we will also give you a domain name reseller account and a billing/support solution named ClientExec absolutely free, so that you'll be completely independent and you will have full control over what's going on with your server and with the customers' websites. If you would like to take another approach, however, DirectAdmin will allow you to have resellers of your own who can do the job of finding the end customers, while they pay you for the reseller plan.
