Other than hosting resource-demanding websites, there's a further reason to acquire a virtual or a dedicated server for yourself - to make your web hosting company. This is an ever expanding business, considering that an increasing number of people and businesses start their web presence, which means that they need hosting space and a domain. If you have a server, you will be able to make website hosting plans and then sell them, so you can not only cover your expenses when you host your personal websites on the server too, but you will also make a great profit by owning a lucrative business. What you need for that is a server, a billing program, which will be the connection between the reseller website and your web space, and a business account with a payment processor for instance PayPal or 2CheckOut, in order to be able to receive Internet payments. The advantage of reselling server space over the usage of a standard reseller program is the fact that your customers will have additional system resources and you are able to install the server-side software that their websites may need so as to work effectively. The latter isn't possible with a shared hosting reseller program, because you'll have some restrictions in this regard.

Reselling Options in VPS

We'll make it very easy for you to start a website hosting company if you obtain one of our virtual private servers plans. Throughout the signup process, you can choose the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel and not only will you have full root accessibility to the server with either of them, but you will also be able to create web hosting plans, since they both feature a reseller level too. Also, with DirectAdmin you can even have resellers of ones own. Each VPS package provided with cPanel has two extra features which will help you launch a reseller business completely free. The first is an eNom domain reseller account, which excludes the deposit you will have to pay in case you decide to sign up with them directly, while the second one is an authorized copy of ClientExec - a billing and support software application, that will make it very simple for you to create plans, to bill your customers and to supply ticket support. Our VPS plans enable you to launch your online business with minimal costs and they feature all of the tools that you need for that.

Reselling Options in Dedicated Hosting

With a dedicated server from us, you will receive everything you need to start a successful hosting business almost instantly. We have several different plans, so as to give you a chance to select the most suitable one when it comes to the system resources that you will need as well as the initial budget that you have in the beginning. All the web hosting servers provide full root access, which will allow you to install anything your customers may need for their sites. Two of the 3 hosting Control Panel choices that we supply are suitable for launching a reseller business - DirectAdmin and cPanel. They both feature customer and reseller levels and different advantages. When you acquire the server with DirectAdmin, you can not only have direct clients, but also sub-resellers. If you buy your server with cPanel, on the other hand, you will acquire an eNom domain reseller account and the ClientExec billing and support software, which will enable you to offer ticket support and to accept web-based payments.
