How does reseller hosting operate?
What is the customer base of the reseller web hosting solution wholesalers?
It is comprised of web page designers or site design corporations offering mostly design solutions. Small-scale ISPs, prominent SEO developers and various World Wide Web entrepreneurs are also part of the hosting reseller niche.
Well-known reseller site hosting models
As of this moment, the most popular business type is the cPanel reseller web hositng service, where the reseller pays in advance for a given reseller website hosting plan (with fixed amounts of disk storage, web traffic, hosted TLDs, etc. on a monthly basis (at wholesale rates). Then the reseller plan is cut into tiny shared web hosting plans, which are later sold to the customers at retail rates selected by the reseller. The reseller's revenue is formed by the difference between the wholesale and the retail hosting prices.
cPanel's third party invoicing transaction management software system
The cPanel-based hosting reseller has to take care of the billing platform supply (a merchant account integrated into a 3rd party invoicing system is necessary) and the round-the-clock client and sales support provision. The reseller also plays the role of a connection between the clients and the domain name registrar where the top-level domain names are in fact being registered, transferred or renewed on clients' behalf (a domain name reseller account functioning with the invoicing transaction management system is wanted too).
No domain name, invoicing and client support management GUIs in cPanel?!?
While on the subject, cPanel does not furnish any domain name registration, billing and client support administration sections. Those belong to the third party invoicing transaction software. Very exciting. And modish. An innovative twenty-first century invention: 2 client login locations (the cPanel hosting Control Panel itself and the invoicing/technical support/domain name management software system). And that's merely for starters...
Rare, yet better reseller hosting alternatives
In very rare circumstances you might be lucky to discover other highly lucrative cloud hosting reseller systems, such as the one created by ResellersPanel. There are no monthly reseller prepayments or deposits. It's as simple as that: if a transaction is made, there is a charge, in all other cases - there isn't. Looks like with ResellersPanel there are no fiscal hazards for the resellers. We think that ResellersPanel's mode of operating is perhaps way better than the currently quite popular cPanel hosting reseller setup. Read further to understand why.
ResellersPanel - the jeopardy-free reseller website hosting system
Above all, as opposed to the cPanel-based reseller web space hosting firms, ResellersPanel will not charge the reseller one single cent. Not till the reseller makes any new deals or renewals. Which is very logical, in fact. This curtails the commercial risk to ground-zero levels. With ResellersPanel's reseller hosting setup, the reseller is not involved with monthly or annual prepayments, contributions, reseller charges or part payments in any way. Whereas the famous cPanel-based reseller web page hosting setup relies only on monthly or annual prepayments and deposits, which means... much bigger commercial hazards. In contrast with ResellersPanel's reseller web space hosting operating model, the cPanel reseller web hosting setup does not care whether the reseller has accomplished any sales or not - the monthly or annual reseller subscriptions must be paid up in a timely manner, i.e. have to be paid beforehand. Full stop.
American, European and Australian cloud site hosting plans
ResellersPanel is not merely a peril-free reseller web hosting solution. ResellersPanel supplies REAL CLOUD WEB PAGE HOSTING packages for reselling. Elsewhere, there is some partial evidence for the existence of a cloud hosting system. The cloud hosting accounts the resellers can custom build and market under their web site hosting brands are available at four data center facility locations: in the United States, in the United Kingdom, in Sweden and in Australia! How many cPanel-based reseller site hosting distributors provide multi-continent datacenter facility site options? How many cPanel web hosting companies provide cloud hosting services to the resellers and to their customers?
Virtual Private Server, semi-dedicated server and dedicated hosting server reseller solutions
How many reseller hosting traders, besides ResellersPanel, allow their resellers to promote VPS hosting, semi-dedicated servers and dedicated servers at quite attractive prices? Hepsia, the industry-leading hosting Control Panel, is added there as well, by default, at no extra or further cost. Unmetered hosted domain names, SSH and full server root privileges are also added in the feature-rich server packages. Beside that, the resellers can also sell over fifty generic and country code top-level domains and SSL certificates to their customers.
