Reseller hosting is a type of web hosting solution wherein a company or a hosting provider rents hard drive space and bandwidth to another company, typically a small-mid size business that in turn rents out the space to third parties for end use. In other words, the reseller purchases the host’s services in bulk and then sells them to customers.
For entrepreneurs looking at setting up a business in the domain of web hosting, Reseller hosting is a good way to start as it involves minimum investment and infrastructure when compared to setting up other models of web hosting. Leading companies provide a host of solutions that enable resellers to choose their own service plans and pricing structure. There are successful examples of resellers, who were able to establish their own branding through customized control panels and servers.
