Who is the hosting reseller for?

If you are a developer, a website designer or a web agency you will certainly recognize the benefits of providing your customers with valid and competitive services. Often those who turn to a professional in your field also need to be directed to a hosting service.

So why not take care of everything yourself? By becoming a hosting reseller you can set yourself apart from the competition.

How does it work?

Let’s say you want to provide a service that adequately meets the needs of your customers. You could refer them to a hosting solution. Or you could provide it to them directly.

Becoming a reseller allows you to manage the space and bandwidth allocated to each site. This gives you the ability to provide a complete solution yourself. Site development and hosting in one package.

The advantage is that you don’t need specific technical knowledge to do them and you can start practically from scratch. What you need to do is provide support to your clients, but in case there are technical interventions you can go directly to hosting.

If you already have an established profession, providing more services to your clients is a way to retain them over time. In this way, your contacts with the clients do not risk running out when you hand them the website project, but a long-term collaboration is established.

The hosting reseller business is also a way to put yourself out there and expand your earnings as a freelancer in the digital world.

What do you need to get started?

Compare different hosting resellers and find the service that’s right for you. To do this just start by asking the right questions, only you know the answers after all.

The first aspect to consider is the number of customers you have and of course their needs. Based on this you can choose a hosting plan with the necessary resources to ensure that your customers get the right service.

Each client will have different needs, so the best thing to do is to create packages according to the different needs.

For each option, you’ll also need to establish a price. Basically, establishing resources and pricing will be the crucial part. This is what your earnings will depend on. It goes without saying that the support you offer your clients will be necessary to keep them coming back.

If at first, you find it difficult to establish the different packages, don’t worry. You’ll always be ready to modify them later, as you gain more experience.

What are the advantages

In order to resell hosting space, you don’t need to invest the money needed for the server infrastructure or its management. You can start with a small plan, without incurring prohibitive expenses, and then increase only if necessary.

The biggest advantage is that for any interventions and technical problems that need to be solved, all you have to do is turn to your hosting. But does this mean that your customers will also know you’re a reseller? In our case, no.

With SupportHost’s reseller hosting, you will have anonymous nameservers. This means that the hosting brand will not be visible.

Another reason why a web agency may find the reseller solution advantageous is its convenience. The entire management of packages and services can be done from a single panel, such as WHMCS.

This greatly simplifies your management and, most importantly, saves you a lot of time because of the automation, you can put in place. Using a single system you can manage customer support tickets, active services, their payments and billing.

Once you get your reseller business up and running, the earnings will follow on their own thanks to recurring payments.
