Reseller hosting includes selling any type of web hosting but usually refers to smaller hosting companies that buy one dedicated server or a small reseller hosting plan and then setup a hosting company to sell hosting to other people.
1. Platform you want to use.More open source software programs are available for Linux than for Windows, which makes Linux less expensive. While most programs (Perl, PHP, Flash, etc.) run on both platforms, a few run on only Windows or Linux. A site that requires ASP or MS Access, for example, requires a Windows platform.
2. Control panel you want to use.Control panels for websites range from very basic to loaded with features. As a reseller, you’ll also have a control panel for you to set up and control hosting accounts.Choosing Your Hosting Automation Software, we compare several control panels, all of which offer good features for web host resellers.
3. Choose your web host.The web host company that you choose for your reseller account is a key decision — your business success depends on the quality of your host.
4. Set up hosting plans and pricesDivide your bandwidth by your disk space to find out the ratio of bandwidth to disk space that you can offer. Take into account any ratios that differ if you upgrade to a larger package, and then base your packages on that ratio.For pricing, consider what competitors charge, but also factor in any additional services you’ll be offering.
5. Develop a business website & e-commerce readyIf you have web design skills, design your site yourself.Templates are available for free or for a charge.Include all the information that clients will want to know about your services and company.To be able to accept payments for hosting accounts you should setup merchant account,payment gateway(Payapal etc.), SSL certificate(for secure transaction).
6. Set up a helpdeskHelpdesk allows clients to contact you with support requests and you to track and respond to those requests.
7. Set up billingAn automated billing system, clients are billed and payments are registered with little effort on your part. Most billing software licenses are priced per month or per year, with some billing software companies offering prices for lifetime licenses.
