How to Use a Reseller Web Hosting Service

You can make extra income from a home-based business for low start-up costs. As a web hosting reseller, you can buy web space and services from a web hosting provider and resell them for a profit.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Reseller web hosting provider
• Reseller business website

1. Pick the type of clients or businesses you want to target. The market niche determines the type of services you offer. Make a list of the products and services that are important to the market you have chosen.

2. Choose a web hosting provider that offers the types of products and services you want to resell. The amount of disk space, uptime record, control panel availability and technical support are some important options to consider.

3. Determine the web hosting plans and prices you want to offer to your potential clients. Consider the amount of disk space available to resell, product features and the competition's prices when you create your web hosting packages.

4. Draw up a "Terms of Services" agreement between you and your clients for protection. If your web host partner doesn't allow posting of adult content, neither can your reseller hosting business. Use your web host's "Terms of Services" agreement as a template for your agreement to make sure your business follows the same rules. Modify it as necessary to fit your business needs.

5. Develop a reseller hosting business website to sell your products and services. Publish information about the types of plans available, products and services offered, and technical support.

6. Create the ability to accept online payment for hosting accounts. It is necessary to have an SSL certificate, merchant account and user interface to accept online payments.

Tips & Warnings

• Avoid web hosting providers that have an uptime of less than 99.5 percent. This record of performance may reflect poorly on your business.
