Choosing the best reseller hosting plan

Monday, December 21st, 2009

Unlike shared hosting, reseller hosting allows you to create sub-accounts of your main account, and offer web hosting accounts to your friends and family, or even resell web hosting to your customers. You will be easily able to create your own plans, bill your own customers, and no one will ever know that you are reselling another company, when using our services. Our reseller hosting plans are completely anonymous. As your silent partner, we will be constantly working in the backend, providing you with the tools you need to succeed in your reseller web hosting venture. Our duties include monitoring your server, performing software and system upgrades, securing your server against malicious attacks, and assisting you whenever you need any help. This way, you will be able to concentrate on finding clients for your reseller hosting business.

However, choosing the best reseller hosting plan has never been an easy task, especially for users looking to start their first reseller hosting business. Unlike experienced resellers who are able to know how much space and bandwith they need, new resellers are unable to predict their usage. Users new to reseller hosting are particularly unable to tell how much disk space and bandwidth they will be using.

If you are new to the reseller hosting business, then it is unlikely that you start consuming a lot of diskspace and bandwidth from the first time, as our experience shows. Most of the time, users do not use all of the resources allocated to them. Moreover, all of our reseller hosting plans allow you to oversell your resources. In other words, you will be able to sell as much disk space and bandwidth as you want, and we will only charge you for the resources you consume.

Because of the reasons stated above, it is unlikely that you start consuming a lot of disk space and bandwidth from the first few days. Therefore, I personally suggest that you start with our smallest reseller hosting plan. You could always upgrade to the next plan, without any downtime, not even one minute! Your customers will never notice.

On the other hand, if you are an established business looking to enter the webhosting market, you might want to opt for a higher plan. Our reseller hosting plans are very affordable, and are next to nothing for an established business. This way, you will ensure that you are instantly able to scale for your customer demands, as you never know when business comes your way, especially if you have an established brand name, and all the marketing/sales channels are already in place.

As for our experienced users who need a lot of resources and have no problem managing their own servers, our dedicated servers plans offer the same features available on our reseller hosting plans, but are much more flexible, as each aspect of the server could be customised by the user. These dedicated servers are unmanaged, and include root access to the server. The choice of control panels include cPanel control panel, DirectAdmin and the powerful webmin system administration software.

Server – The server your reseller account is on can make a critical difference between you and your competitors. It is best to compare the quality of server and other hardware to zero in on the best reseller hosting solution. Contact a web host’s sales department and ask questions if you are unable to find the information on their website but make sure you know the hardware your reseller account will be hosted from.

Network – Preferably Tier 1 carriers, check for the carriers your hosting company is signed with and their network up time in the recent past. Make sure you also run a check on how the carriers fare in the area your hosting company’s servers are located in, quality of service provided by ISPs differs from area to area. Overselling is a clever idea to make maximum profits out of limited resources, however make sure that your web host has the resources to support your growing business and offers the flexibility to add resources as and when required.

Scalability and upgrade options – You should be prepared to expand your business by adding resource or upgrading to a professional package from a starter package. The best reseller hosting packages are highly flexible and have the ability to grow with your growing business. Flexible packages save you from the hassle of moving your account when the need to upgrade arises.

Software – For the success of a reseller business you need the software to manage your business efficiently. WHM is the leading software to manage your reseller account, the best reseller hosting accounts will feature WHM as the control panel. Your hosting company should also provide you with a set of useful features that you can offer to your customers. If you plan to offer unique features or services, find out if there is an option to add software and features to your control panel and offer the same selectively to your customers.

Easy sign up – Ensure that the sign up process is not complicated or confusing. Sometimes web hosts try and add charges like setup fee and additional features which you may not really need, so carefully check the amount to be paid before you make the payment. Look carefully while you sign up and however you design your own website, make sure that you have a simple and straightforward sign up process for your customers.
