Your website is hosted on a server shared by other websites. The advantage of this setup is the shared cost. You can pay as little as \u20a62,000-\u20a650,000 per year for sharing a super server with (probably) hundreds (or thousands) of other websites.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 19px;\">The biggest disadvantage of a shared hosting account is that you are at the mercy of the other sites on your server. A really popular site may adversely affect the performance of your own site. On the other hand, if you are the most popular site on the server, you get to use a super server for a very low price.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 19px;\">When most people start an online business they usually start out with a shared hosting plan to minimize costs; and they are not likely getting a ton of traffic initially.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 19px;\">Shared hosting is good for a brochure type site, or a newer site that does not get a lot of traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 19px;\">Price Range: \u20a62,000-\u20a650,000\/year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 19px;\">You can see SkyTechNG Shared Hosting Plan by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webhosting.skytechng.com\/sharedhosting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Clicking Here<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"content-list__title\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 19px;\"><strong><span class=\"content-list__text\">02- Reseller Web Hosting<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 19px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-6726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skytechng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Reseller-Hosting-300x231.png\" alt=\"Reseller Hosting\" width=\"300\" height=\"231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skytechng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Reseller-Hosting-300x231.png 300w, https:\/\/www.skytechng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Reseller-Hosting-243x187.png 243w, https:\/\/www.skytechng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Reseller-Hosting.png 359w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Reseller hosting packages are basically a shared hosting account with extra tools to help you resell hosting space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 19px;\">Reseller packages come with greater technical control which is the Web Host Manager (WHM) control panel, billing software to help you invoice clients\u00a0and other extra perks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 19px;\"><strong>Some of those perks include:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 19px;\">free website templates<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 19px;\">white label technical support &#8212; that means the hosting company handles your clients&#8217; technical support issues<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 19px;\">private name servers &#8212; make your company seem even bigger by telling your clients to point their domain nameservers to ns1.yourwebdesignfirm.com<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 19px;\">Price range: Reseller packages range from \u20a610,000 &#8211; \u20a6200,000, depending on features and resource limits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 19px;\">If you&#8217;re planning on selling web hosting as a business then reseller web hosting is perfect for you.
