Webhosting reseller
Since webhosting business is a competitive business, marketing efforts of the real web hosts to attract customers have also increased. A real web host is a company that owns or lease internet bandwidth and has a number of web servers to provide web hosting services. That is why real web hosts or primary hosts have resorted to marketing their services through resellers or agents. Webhosting resellers depend on real hosts for bandwidth. While, real hosts depend on webhosting resellers to cater to the individual or small company clients that they can no longer attend to. Webhosting resellers are not required to put up capital investment to be able to start a webhosting reseller business.
Webhosting reseller refers to an individual or small business that makes use of the bandwidth and web servers of a higher tier or primary host and resells the same to the customers by offering added value services like web designing, domain registration and web programming.
Webhosting reseller services do not really differ from a real host. The webhosting reseller can offer all services that a real host can offer. Due to the added value services, webhosting reseller can offer web design and programming services to each customer because oftentimes real hosts focus on business from resellers and large corporate accounts. It is necessary for the webhosting reseller to create some advantages for their customers so they can compete with bigger webhosting services. Webhosting reseller also establishes relationship with their customers that go beyond the contract terms such as those in the acceptable use policy (AUP).
Webhosting resellers have the opportunity to understand their customers’ needs better. And in the process, extend to them a more personalized service. Webhosting resellers are able to provide more value to the customers through their wide range of services offered which higher tier provider could not offer due to the sheer number of their clients. Webhosting resellers are in the position to address customer’s needs better because of the personalized service they offer. For those who want to start a webhosting reseller business then they should seek out a real host rather than tie up with another webhosting reseller. This way you could minimize on expenses and generate more income. It is very easy to obtain a reseller account from a real host these days.
If your website do not really look for complex hosting services and you require personal attention from the web host for design and programming then a webhosting reseller will be the better option. The webhosting reseller can offer you more in terms of personal attention and programming services. However, if you have a high traffic web site or you have a large number of websites to be hosted, have complex e-commerce offering and have very large number of email accounts or an extremely sensitive nature of your website content then a real host could probably serve you better since they can provide you with enough bandwidth. A real host would suit you better than the webhosting reseller in this instance.
