When you are hunting for that reseller host that fits your need, you must take care to research the host's reliability and read reviews from previous customers. You will want to take a look at the various reviews coming from customers that have been in the same situation. Paying hundred's of dollars for a terrible host can lead you down the red-inked road of no profits.
First, I highly recommend that you research the host and their background on the web. Find your favorite search engine and search by the host's name. Find reviews and what people are buzzing about. You will find that previous experience is always the best when selecting a Reseller Host.
Second, you are going to be needing to make a profit from hosting sites so you need to select the best "bang for the buck". Does the reseller have all the reseller hosting software provided to you at no additional cost? Are you looking for a budget reseller? Take all this into consideration when you actually plug in your credit card number. I have found that budget resellers offer good variety of services and software preloaded like WHM CPanel manager.
Third, are you hosting your own websites or someone else's? My experience with reseller packages is that if you are planning on doing multiple web projects and even designing websites, you will find that reselling can be an added profit. If you are a web designer you can build the site for your client and host it for them too! To illustrate, you designed a website for a local pizza shop for $600. Instead of uploading the site to another host and have them pay for it, just offer to host it for them for $20 a month. The price you pay to host 200 websites is $50 a month via a reseller. You just made almost half your money back from ONE DEAL. If you designed 10 websites a month and hosted all of them for your clients you would be getting revenue of $400 to cover that $50. The key to being successful at reseller hosting is the selling point or the return on investment in the hosting package. Your benefit of picking a good hosting company that is reliable and perfectly priced can lead to more profits the easy way.
You can easily make hundreds of dollars a month reselling your hosting bundled with other services. The possibilities are endless in marketing your space. By selecting a host that allows a good amount of space (start with at least 5GB), your business will thrive.
Another easy trick I how I use reseller hosting is setting up multiple niches and purchasing domain names that fit the niche you are trying to conquer. After you found the niche that you can make serious money in, choose a good reseller host to put all your purchased domain names. WHM Cpanel Manager (Web Host Manager) allows you to make separate cpanel accounts for each domain.
Now as far as selecting the best reseller host, I have listed several of my favorite and the most reliable I have come across. You can find these below.
