What is Reseller Hosting?
Reseller Hosting is a web hosting service designed to empower online service businesses like yours to provide web hosting to your customers in a way where all the complicated server stuff is taken care of for you – you don't need to plug in a single cable or spend time managing servers. Simply use the included simple management tools to take complete control of your server without any prior knowledge or experience!
How do I make money with Reseller Hosting?
Reseller hosting can be a great way to boost your bottom line and is the simplest way for you to provide hosting services to your customers or start your own Web Hosting Business without the technical knowledge required to manage or maintain your own servers. Reseller hosting gives you access to your very own white-label hosting platform at a nominal wholesale cost which allows you to create your own range of web hosting products at your own self-defined RRP and even package them up with other services you’re already providing to add revenue to your bottom line. Perfect for digital services businesses looking to improve revenue from existing relationships or grow their existing business.
Add value to your existing client interactions
The digital landscape in Australia can be fiercely competitive and one great way to retain a loyal clientele is to shine above the competition by providing more value and saving them a trip to another vendor. If you’re a graphic designer, web developer, small business advisor, managed service provider, marketing agency, branding specialist, small business or IT professional, offering a full-service package can spell the difference between retaining an important client for the long haul or seeing them off to a competitor who can.
Build long-term relationships
Another benefit of offering web hosting services is the ability to build and grow lasting relationships with your clients. This can be especially beneficial for self-employed contractors or agencies who work on projects. The ability to build a lasting relationship through a hosting service cements you in your customer’s mind as the go-to place for all things web. If you did work for them in the past, they might come back if they remember you. But if you did work for them and now support them daily by hosting their website, they will naturally return to you for additional work in the future, creating a portfolio of loyal clients and helping to grow not just your hosting service, but your other services too.
Do I need to be an expert in web hosting or networking?
Running your own web hosting service does mean you need to be able to provide support services to your clients if they run into problems. Fortunately, modern web hosting software is designed with non-technical users in mind and is built as intuitive and simple as possible. You don’t need to be an expert in web hosting or networking to run your own hosting service - all you need is a basic understanding of IT principles and a willingness to learn some new simple skills. Everything else you’ll need comes included in your Reseller Hosting plan.
If you do come across anything you’re unsure of during your web hosting journey, your Reseller Hosting Provider should be able to answer any questions or help with any problems you run into. If you field a question from a client and you're not sure of the answer, simply forward that question on to our support team, we'll help you understand the answer and equip you to answer the question for your client!
What should I look for when choosing a Reseller Hosting Provider?
When identifying which Australian Reseller Provider is going to best suit you, it’s important to make sure the Reseller Hosting Plan includes the software and tools you will need to manage your service, as well as a few important features. Make sure the plan you choose includes:
- Market-leading web-hosting management and server management tools like cPanel/WHM, Acronis and Spam Experts
- Unlimited bandwidth, so you don’t have to pay more as your clients scale their websites
- Access to a reputable and truly helpful support team, for peace of mind when something goes wrong
- An excellent uptime guarantee
- A fully-brandable, white-label service
That sounds like a lot. What if I get stuck?
Any reputable Reseller Hosting provider will be happy to guide and support you on your web hosting journey. These support services may include a comprehensive knowledge base with manuals, access to a 24/7 ticketing system or access to a phone support line. If you run into any problems as you set up your reseller service, you can access these support services to get the help you need.
When you re-sell web hosting, it is your responsibility to determine how and when you will provide support services to your customers. This decision is entirely up to you and can be tailored to suit your business and customer needs. Another benefit of Reseller Hosting is that if you get stuck solving a problem while providing support to your customers, you can access your Reseller Hosting Provider’s support service to get help with the problem, giving you the peace of mind that any answers you need are always just a click away.
