Reseller Hosting

Reseller hosting is a type of web hosting where the account owner uses his hard drive space and bandwidth to host websites on behalf of third parties. In reseller hosting the reseller purchases a huge bulk of space from the real owner and then sells the space to their customers alongwith some more facilities like web designing, management services, web programming.

Reseller hosting is a very inexpensive type of web hosting as it allows web hosting entrepreneurs to start a company easily. This type of web hosting does not require an extensive technical knowledge of the various aspects of web hosting. Reselling happens only when the primary host allows it to happen. These primary hosts allow this type of reseller hosting to increase their sale because of which the primary host is able to reap a good amount of profit and can deal with individual clients through resellers. As there are many reseller hosting companies in the market providing different packages, so the hosting companies in order to survive in the market sell their services to the resellers. Resellers play a very important part as they directly deal with clients regarding their need and monthly rent. Although resellers are the ones who actually provide service to the clients, but the real host or primary host gains much more in terms of profit than the resellers.

The services provided by reseller hosting providers are not different from the real providers, and in no way less than the real provider. Infact, the reseller hosting providers give some extra services to their customer which the real hosts cannot provide and this in turn increases the business of the real host. Some of the reseller hosting providers are –

• Alentus
• Windows hosting point
• Gazzin Networks

Thus, reseller hosting is a very popular type of web hosting. It is inexpensive, does not require much technical knowledge and is used by real web hosting providers to increase their business. Resellers are the intermediary people between the clients and the real hosts.
