What exactly is Reseller Hosting?

Reseller hosting is a web hosting service that allows a person or business to sell web hosting services as their own.

When people hear the term “reseller hosting,” they usually look at you puzzled. A web hosting company’s main focus in Ethiopia, is usually on providing web hosting services to their clients, but with reseller hosting, you become the host and decide how to charge and support your clients.

Reseller hosting is a web hosting service that allows a person or business in Ethiopia, to sell web hosting services as their own.

Reseller Accounts are Simple to Manage

When you sign up for reseller hosting, you will usually be given access to an admin console in cPanel or another administration package. Your monthly disc space and bandwidth allowance will be included. The panel will include the tools needed to create new accounts, assign disc space, email addresses, domains, and other typical web hosting features.

It is then simply a matter of creating a new account, deciding how much disc space or bandwidth to allocate, and proceeding from there.

Reseller hosting allows you to make money in the website hosting business whether you are a web developer, designer, or simply someone who dreams of owning your own web hosting business.

Setting up reseller hosting is very similar to setting up your own shared hosting for a website. The main distinction is that instead of simply setting up your own domain, email, and website, you set up the framework within which your clients will do all of that.

The fact that your clients will have their own cPanel or other dashboard where they can manage their own account is a significant advantage of reseller hosting. This saves you a lot of administration time and makes reseller hosting more like a side hustle than a full-time job.

White Labeling Capability

White labelling allows you to add your own branding to someone else’s product or service, in this case web hosting, and sell it as your own. It allows you to offer hosting to clients as if it were your own product.

Make Your Own Hosting Plans

Depending on your typical client profile, you can set up flexible hosting, WordPress hosting, SSD hosting, or whatever package you believe will best meet their needs. Then you can charge whatever the market will bear and pocket the profit.

Low Entry Barrier

If you have never managed web hosting before, there is a significant learning curve to reseller hosting.

If you’ve previously managed shared hosting or something similar, it’s a small step up with a little more administration. If you’ve used cPanel to create your own website, the process is very similar. This time, however, you’re creating multiple hosting accounts from your master account.

Pricing for such packages is typically even lower than that of a standard VPS, with Host Papa packages starting at just a few dollars per month, which is only a slight increase over shared hosting.

How Does a Reseller Make Money?

Nobody is going to tell you that reseller hosting will make you rich, but it can help you supplement your income.

Sell your existing clients a hosting service

Essentially, if you provide full managed hosting to your customers, you can charge a premium over standard hosting, such as charging $50/month to each client but handling all of their technical needs and maintenance, such as core CMS upgrades, plugins, backups, security, and so on.

Your residential income is determined by the wholesale price you pay the host as well as the maximum your market can support. Some hosts, as previously stated, charge a monthly maintenance fee for reseller hosting accounts, but many do not. Before settling on a provider, it’s important to research the market, what’s available, and at what price.

Most reseller accounts are scalable, allowing you to start small when launching your offering and scale up only as needed. This is a cost-effective method of doing business that keeps your costs as low as possible.

Easy access to client websites, and scalability

There is no waiting for clients to send logins or delays while they reset their passwords if you offer web services to clients who also host with you. You have immediate and unrestricted access to their accounts. This means you can respond to issues quickly or provide better customer service than usual. All can be rewarded with loyalty and possibly referrals.

In addition, most reseller hosting accounts are scalable, allowing you to start small and scale up as your client list grows. Because hosting is virtual, scaling can be accomplished quickly and without incurring additional administrative costs.

How can I begin reselling web hosting?

First, you should sit down and draught a thorough business plan. If you’re going to charge people in Ethiopia, money and make a profit, you should have a plan that will help you not only plan how your business will function, but also how it will grow.

You should then conduct market research to find the reseller hosting that best meets your requirements. Make certain that what you select meets the needs of your target clientele. After you’ve selected and subscribed to your reseller hosting solution, you can begin labelling it to match your company’s identity. You should also devote time to becoming acquainted with the features that you will provide to your subscribers.

You may also need to configure your management software so that you are prepared to serve your customers. When you’ve completed your preparations, you’re ready to begin reselling your hosting space. It is very simple to sign up for a reseller hosting plan and then begin selling space to prospective website owners. However, failing to be prepared to explain what your business offers and plan out the services that you will provide is a good way to quickly lose customers and potentially end your business.

My Positive Review
Jim W
I called with multiple issues and they were all resolved by a knowledgeable, pleasant young woman whose name I can't recall. She really went the extra mile to get the job done!
Decent for small website...low traffic
Tanner
Overall this host isnt bad...if your only doing it for a hobby or small event. However, I had mine for my hobby website and college classes. When I needed to work on it, sometimes it would work...sometimes not. Support always said they were looking into it yet nothing changed. With that being said I only have experienced it going down once over the last 10 years and the support I have typically received has been the best I have ever seen as far as chat goes.

Bad online suport menus
Kathy S
I purchased my domain name and 2 weeks later went to sign up for hosting and begin building my web site. Imagine my dismay when I was told by the help desk that I could not access the help menus (error404) until I had a web host set up. Talk about a catch 22! I will be transferring this domain to GoDaddy after the 60 day registeration period ends. What a terrible experience with the live voice support. Fortunately the chat line rep gave me the much needed inforamtion to at least proceed forward today
Incompetence reigns large. Support can read but can't troubleshoot if it's not what you already read.
Heidi P
The ppl are kind but incompetent when it comes to email setup. They are simply reading the same thing I am. I had already tried that and told them I needed more support than that. I called 8 times -- and had 1 chat -- all were ridiculous until the last guy who actually figured out how to set up my Outlook because I already have another Exchange email. I had to call so many times that I figured out how to set up the iphone on my own after multiple failures. The support ppl do not actually provide SUPPORT other than what you can read on their site which wasn't working for me. They were nice -- but incompetent. I waited for a supervisor twice and finally hung up after 30-40 mins. I also got disconnected 2x by a support person (2 different ppl) and another time I could hear a rooster crowing in the background. Seriously? I understand ppl can be anywhere but hang ups and distractions for customer support are not ok. Domain.com sucks. They did not deliver. I asked for a discount MULTIPLE times but clearly no one on the team is authorized. What a mess. I will move my domain in 2 years when it's up but I'm stuck for now bec I needed email immediately. It's the only reason I'm staying. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
