What exactly is reseller hosting?

 

Working for a GREAT hosting company, I receive this question quite a bit. Users usually are looking into reseller hosting for one main reason:

1. To make money by reselling hosting

Let’s delve deeper into this reason and look at the pros and cons.

1. To make money reselling hosting

This is one of the main reasons I see customers signing up for our Reseller packages like hot cakes. The average customer have seen, read or heard about people making money by providing users with a place to host their websites.

The sites could range anywhere from a simple static site to a highly, dynamic HTML/PHP laced website that provides ecommerence services to customers. The range is quite large. Well, the beauty about these sites is they need to be hosted somewhere. With that token, someone has to provide the environment for these sites.

 

That’s where Turnkey Reseller hosting comes into play.

Potential reseller customers, can choose from a myriad of different options ranging from basic hosting packages for a few sites, to large, all encompassing reseller packages for hosting hundreds of sites. You can view more of these reseller options at: http://www.turnkeyinternet.net/web-hosting-reseller/

Now with reseller hosting as with any type of hosting, there comes the most important service: SUPPORT!!

Customers won’t just want a stable environment to host their sites, but they are also looking for GREAT support to any issue they may arise. This is what distinguishes hosting companies from one another. Hosting companies with top notch support are usually the companies having the highest customer retention due to HIGH customer service marks. Think about it. If you sign up for turnkey internets reseller package, you want to ensure that not only are you receiving a stable environment, but you would also want to ensure that your customers receive the BEST support they possibly can.

List below are a couple pros and cons of reselling.

Pros:

  • A reseller account allows you to sell hosting, helping to offset the cost of your server.
  • Allows you to break into the website hosting industry
  • Allows near zero cost investment (no hardware, or software costs)
  • Fully automated software to handle all hosting type operations
  • Outsourced managed support (someone else managing the server for you, so you can focus on your clients and what other items you may provide them with such as Design Services, custom application writing, etc)
  • Managed security and sof tware updates provided to you, and your clients automatically

 

 

Cons:

  • You share space with other clients (more than 1 reseller share physical cpu, network speed, memory etc)
  • End User Support – you  Must provide customer support Higher costs incurred

This is usually accomplished through some helpdesk software, where users submit tickets to your company expecting a timely fix to their issue. This can be a gift and a curse for an up starting hosting company. On one hand, you may have a lot of customers, while on the other hand, you may have a lot of support requests from customers. The balancing act of acquiring more customers while at the same time meeting all support needs for your current and new customers.

This is not an easy feat to pull off. We here at Turnkey pride ourselves on being able to provide top notch customer support to all resellers and their customers, and the fact we bundle FREE end-user support to all your clients, private label (under your brand, name and domain name!) makes you look like a multi-million dollar hosting company with 24  7 support!

It’s one of those staples in the hat. Or is the saying feather in the hat? Either way – it pretty much makes reseller hosting a painless experience for both new comers and pros when they use TurnKey’s reseller hosting packages to start their reseller hosting businesses/.

Until next time you Turnkey lovers.
