Hosting - What is reseller hosting?

Reseller hosting allows individuals or companies to create/sell hosting packages for profit without having to own an expensive dedicated server.

Who uses reseller hosting? Usually web designers. They design and build the site for the client, and then host the site. Clients like the all-in-one design/hosting solution.

Reseller hosting is different to other hosting packages because the user can perform administrative tasks like create/delete hosting accounts, set bandwidth and space limits, etc.

Resellers are assigned a space/bandwidth quota, like 5GB of webspace and 40GB of bandwidth, and can create as many hosting accounts as space/bandwidth allows.

For example, with 5GB webspace and 40GB bandwidth, you could create 40 hosting accounts with 1GB bandwidth and 40MB diskspace each. Thats the power of reseller hosting.

If you'd like to setup a web hosting business, then reseller hosting is the way to go without investing too much time and money getting setup.
