Reseller Hosting

[amk]

Hi can anybody please elaborate the concept of reseller hosting with some examples? Thanks

ooh I can't elaborate it more since I'm still a newbie here and there's a wide range of concept here.. I guess you should read old forum posts here or basically the FAQ page. you'll find more info there...

Re:

Reseller hosting is a form of web hosting wherein the account owner has the ability to use his/her allotted hard drive space and bandwidth to host websites on behalf of third parties. The reseller purchases the host's services wholesale and then sells them to customers for a profit. A certain portion of hard drive and bandwidth is allocated to the reseller account. The reseller may rent a dedicated server from a hosting company, or resell shared hosting services.

Not quite. Depending on the program. With RSP's free reseller program you do not have to purchase an account. You are simply a reseller of accounts. Simply, you find a client, sign them up to an account and you are entitled to the difference between the wholesale price and the retail price of the sale. You do not have to purchase anything, but it helps to have your own domain name which even that, you do not have to purchase through RSP.

It cannot be any cheaper to open a business for yourself.
