are you a web designer<\/a> or a developer<\/a> and you already have some clients?. Or maybe you are a tech graduate and you are looking to get into an industry with huge potential.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whatever your situation, if you are thinking of setting up a web hosting business or add hosting services as part of your offering I am going to explain just about everything you will need to know to hit the deck running.<\/span><\/p>\n

With\u00a0SkyTechNG\u00b4s reseller hosting plans<\/a>\u00a0you can become your own hosting company.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Does Reseller Hosting Work?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Well in a nutshell if you have got customers that need hosting you can purchase a bulk amount of hosting space and then resell it on to them at a healthy profit.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a great way to build an additional recurring revenue stream for your business.<\/span><\/p>\n

But what is really great is that you have zero upfront cost to invest in expensive infrastructure like servers or software licenses.<\/span><\/p>\n

The way it works is that you get a master admin area where you manage every aspect of your customers\u2019 hosting. You can create hosting plans, give admin rights to users, create accounts and pretty much everything you could do with an actual server but at a fraction of the cost.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each of your customers gets their own cPanel Control Panel login and there is no mention of the hosting company so your customers think it is your server and your service \u2013 it\u2019s completely white label.<\/span><\/p>\n

Difference between Shared Hosting & Reseller Hosting<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Now the key difference between shared hosting & reseller hosting is the ability for your clients to self-manage themselves with their own individual cPanel login.<\/span><\/p>\n

This means that they are not contacting you every 5 minutes to create an email account or reset a password because they can do everything themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the really neat features is that you can create your own plans like bronze, silver & gold.<\/span><\/p>\n

That way you can give more to clients who are happy to pay more and you have something for everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

One thing you need to be aware of is that you will need to provide 1st line support to your clients. Of course we are there in the background and we can help with most issues but you will need to support them when they have any immediate issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

If things start to take off then you can even start to automate your hosting business using a hosting billing platform like WHMCS<\/a> which automates the billing, provisioning and administration of your hosting clients.<\/span><\/p>\n
