What is Reseller Hosting?
Reseller hosting is a web hosting service where an individual or business purchases hosting resources from a hosting provider and resells them to customers as their own. Essentially, the reseller buys hosting space and bandwidth from a larger hosting company and rents it out to clients.
How Does It Work?
As a reseller, you have access to a control panel, typically WebHost Manager (WHM), that allows you to create and manage hosting accounts for your customers. Resellers can create customized plans based on their clients' needs and provide them with hosting, domain management, and other related services. Most reseller hosting packages come with an integrated billing system (like WHMCS) to manage customer payments and account creation.
In essence, you are acting as a hosting provider, but without the need to manage the infrastructure. Your hosting provider will handle the servers and technical aspects, leaving you to focus on marketing and client relationships.
