- Do you need to host more than one website?
- Are you currently paying for a separate hosting account for each website?
- Do you want to manage your own hosted accounts?
If you have more than one website it can become very expensive to purchase a separate hosting account for each one. A reseller web hosting account enables you to host multiple websites under one account. Often a web hosting company won’t offer you a reseller account because they’ll make more profit by offering a separate account for each one.
Benefits of reseller web hosting
1. Host multiple websites
Instead of having the space and bandwidth to host only one website, a reseller account provides enough space and bandwidth to host almost unlimited websites. Ask your company if they offer a reseller hosting package. The size of the package will determine how many websites you can host. For example if you have 30 GB of disk space you will be able to host 30 websites that each receive 1 GB of disk space.
2. Inexpensive
If you create a separate hosting account for each website it can become expensive. It makes more sense to purchase a reseller account as it will only cost you a little more. When you want to add more websites it won’t cost you any extra money to host them. This means you can keep more money in your pocket or invest it into marketing your websites.
3. Managerial control
When you sign up for a reseller account you will receive a control panel called “Web hosting manager (WHM).” This enables you to control all your accounts from one central location. For example you can create your own hosting packages, e-mail accounts, MySQL databases, parked domains, subdomains, etc.
4. Create your own hosting company
Becoming a reseller is a great way to build a passive income that can become a self-sustaining business model, or create additional income for your current business. To accomplish this simply purchase a reseller account and create individual hosting plans to offer to your customers. Make sure you become very familiar with all the technical aspects of web hosting so you don’t have to keep asking your hosting company for help.
If your business plan includes hosting multiple websites consider purchasing a reseller hosting package. It will save you time and money plus you can even set up your own web hosting company.
