Web hosting can be an exciting business start up for aspiringentrepreneurs. All you have to do to set up your business isbecome a hosting reseller, i.e., provide hosting facilities towebsite owners. Here as a business owner, you are buying spacefrom a big hosting company, and redistributing the hosting spaceto other website owners.
Resellers are nothing but entrepreneurs acting as middlemen,offering you hosting services by leasing time and space fromanother Web host’s server rather than owning their own. Most ofthe times, the quality of services offered by resellers are sogood that consumers do not even have the idea that they aredealing with resellers who do not have servers of their own.Resellers, since they can pick and choose their servers, arebasically in a position to provide the customers with the bestof services.
Reseller hosting business can be quite a profit making ventureonce you understand the figures and profit margins involved. Letus go through them. One can buy around 1000 MB space from amajor web host at a cost of $25 per month. This 1000 MB spacethat you now own can in turn be redistributed to site owners whoneed space for uploading their site. Here you can give about 25MB space for around $5 per month. Which means your monthlyincome comes to around $200 when you sell 40 hosting packages.Want more. some hosts allow you to oversell the space and do notcharge you extra unless the actual usage of your account exceeds1000MB. It is seen that a typical user uses less than half ofthe allotted web space. which means you can double or eventriple sell your quota and make unlimited wealth.
And mind well, this income is residual income. It will keepcoming to you month after month, year after year. You do thework once. and get paid for it over and over. All you are doingis buying space from a major web hosting company and becoming areseller host. Your efforts are focused towards selling hostingspace and the rest is handled by your web host. Some of themeven handle customer service to your customers for a nominalfee. which makes it even easier for you.
If this is not enough. you can earn additional residual incomesby adding recruiting more resellers through you. By doing thisyou will earn regular commissions on their monthly sales. isn’tthis smart business. The profit margins in the business ofreseller hosting is quite good and you can start on thisexciting business venture even if you do not have the requiredexpertise and access to funds for setting up the requiredinfrastructure. Strange as it might sound, there are also timeswhere a reseller can also be more scalable than a typicalhosting firm. A true Web host is limited by its hardware; if aclient suddenly requires an upgrade the host is not preparedfor, the only way the host will be able to satisfy the customeris by upgrading its hardware – expensive and time consuming forboth sides. The reseller host, however, can simply choose tolocate with a different Web host that will better suit thecustomer’s needs.
