If you design websites for clients, you are probably already recommending hosting. Reseller hosting lets you offer it under your own brand and earn recurring monthly income, without owning or managing servers.
How reseller hosting works
You buy a reseller plan with a set amount of disk space and bandwidth. You then divide it into separate hosting accounts for each client, each with its own control panel. The provider handles the servers, hardware and network.
Who it suits
- Web designers and freelancers who build sites for clients.
- Digital marketing agencies managing several client websites.
- IT companies that want to offer a complete package.
Benefits
- Recurring revenue: hosting renews every year, giving you predictable income.
- Your own brand: many plans support white-label control panels.
- Client control: you manage renewals and support, which keeps clients coming back to you.
- Low upfront cost: no servers to buy or maintain.
Linux or Windows reseller?
Choose Linux reseller hosting for WordPress, PHP and most common websites. Choose Windows reseller hosting if your clients use ASP.NET or MS SQL.
Tips for success
- Price your packages to include your support time, not just the space.
- Use a billing system to automate invoices and renewals.
- Offer add-ons such as domains, SSL and business email.
- Choose a provider with responsive support for when you need help.
