So You Strive To Be A Host Reseller

How Do I Become A Host Reseller

So you have made the decision to become a host reseller. This is not exactly an easy thing to do without the right background and education. The education necessary does not necessarily mean you need a degree. The education necessary can in many cases be obtained by doing the right amount of research to understand what it entails. This information is made available to all who desire it on the internet. There are many web sites and forums in which this is a regular topic. If you have a basic understanding of the web and how it works, this could be right up your alley.

In order to set up shop one will first have to obtain a wholesale or bulk reseller account with a
web hosting service provider. This is the easiest part of your journey. As with any business, you will have to advertise very aggressively. The reason being; there are many host reseller service providers out there. These firms are competition from the start. I would recommend you research your competition extensively. This will help you decide what type of services you want to or will offer.

What Are My Duties As A Host Reseller

A host reseller has the responsibility of maintaining the server space allotted to them per your contract. Issues at the server hub are taken care of by the data center operator that cares for the infrastructure belonging to your hosting service provider. Whether it is equipment failure or connectivity issues this will be handled in house by the operations center team.

In so far as your clients are concerned you will have to maintain the relationship you have established with them. If a client cannot access features of or make changes to their web site. Maybe they are unable to see their web page at all. It is the responsibility of the host reseller to relay these problems to the primary provider. This will in turn help your clients resolve their current issues. This is one of the great things about reseller hosting. As a reseller you have no equipment, hardware or software to worry about or replace when they become out dated. Nor are you constantly tasked with maintaining the network infrastructure.

Can I Profit From Becoming A Host Reseller

A host reseller can and will make profits in the reseller hosting market. This is achieved in many ways. Your web page is a great place to advertise. Advertising for the right clientele can make you a little money. This web site should be able to fit within your dedicated hard drive space. This space is dedicated to the reseller to use as they please. Provided you do it right being a host reseller can be quite profitable. This is due to the fact that the reseller has the right to create their own pricing and payment schedule.

The real key to profits in this market is non-stop advertising. This takes a lot of dedication and attention to detail. As a host reseller you want to be sure you are advertising to the right people. One should be sure how and where they advertise is frequented by the right demographic. Not everybody is in need of a reseller hosting provider. Though without you web sites go unpublished, and a company’s dream unrealized. It may take some time at first to establish a customer base. When your customer base is finally established you will find it may be time to set up some more accounts. In this case it may be time for more server space and a contract upgrade from your web host. In the end all business ventures come with risk attached. Through hard work and determination you may see your risk turn to reward.
