Web hosting has become a hot commodity recently as
people scramble to get their websites online. There
are several web hosting options available based on
such things as the language the site will be coded
in, the average number of visitors you will be receiving
per month, the size of the site and any additional
features that are required.
There are many small businesses as well as individuals
who want to house their websites on the Internet but
would prefer not paying premium rates for this. For
these scenarios there are web hosting companies that
offer budget web hosting plans, small business web
hosting plans and reseller plans.
Why have I included Reseller plans you might ask.
Becoming a web hosting reseller is one of the most
efficient ways of getting your website online for
free. There are also companies that offer free web
hosting but these plans typically come with many limitations
as well as popup or any other form of advertising.
How Is Reseller Hosting Free Hosting?
Hosting your website(s) under a Reseller Hosting plan
is not free, however, if managed effectively you can
put yourself or your business in a position where
you pay nothing for the reseller plan and may even
start making some money from it.
How Is This Done?
Becoming a reseller usually allows you to host an
unlimited number of websites under your account so
long as you don’t exceed the disk space limit
or bandwidth limits. Can you begin to see how this
is going to work? Let’s say you get a reseller
account for $30/month. You have 3 websites and also
know a few people who are also seeking web hosting
services for an affordable rate. You can now offer
these people hosting at lets say $10/month and there
you have already covered your web hosting overhead.
Add a few more to this and you are making a profit.
What do you need to know?
You might think you won’t be able to do this
because you don’t know anything about web hosting.
The fact is you really don’t need to. Adding
and modifying accounts is straight forward. Anything
beyond that can be handled by your web hosting company.
You never need to see a server.
Here are the benefits of becoming a reseller,
outlined:
1. Add as many sites as you want, while staying within
the disk space and bandwidth limitations of the reseller
account.
2. Pay nothing to host your web site or even begin
making an income from your reseller hosting account
by offering hosting to friends, family and other businesses
after all that is why it is called a Reseller account.
3. Quickly modify various aspects of your site with
your added administration features.
Conclusion
Though you may be tempted to settle for free services,
which feature advertising on your site, a much more
professional and beneficial option is to start a reseller
account and grow from there. For a list of companies
