Reseller hosting is a type of web hosting where an individual or company buys hosting resources (like disk space and bandwidth) from a larger hosting provider and then resells those resources to their customers, usually under their brand. The main hosting provider owns and manages the servers and infrastructure. The reseller buys a bulk hosting package and splits it into smaller hosting plans to sell to clients. The clients get hosting services, often without knowing the reseller isn’t the actual server owner.
How it works:
You Buy a Hosting Plan:
You purchase a large hosting account (usually VPS or dedicated server) from a hosting provider like HostGator, SiteGround, or A2 Hosting. This account gives you a big chunk of resources.
Create Sub-Accounts:
Using a control panel like WHM (Web Host Manager), you divide your large account into smaller hosting packages. Each sub-account can then be sold to individual customers.
Brand as Your Own Business:
You can add your own company name, logo, and support systems, making it look like you are the hosting provider (this is often called "white label" hosting).
Earn Profit:
You charge your customers a price higher than what you’re paying to the main hosting company, keeping the difference as profit.
Provider Handles Backend:
The main hosting company still manages the server maintenance, uptime, and hardware. You mainly handle customer support and billing.
