By becoming a
reseller, not only can web developers create websites for their clients, but
they can provide their clients with Web hosting, as another studio service. All
you need to become a reseller, is to find a Web host who: offers multiple Web
site hosting accounts; along with reseller services; and then its up to you to
host your clients’ web sites from your own account. Your clients will be happy
with the low fees you can offer; and, you will have yourself a very profitable
side business.
So what do you
need to be a successful Web site hosting reseller?
Multiple domain
hosting - To become a Web hosting reseller, the first step is to get yourself a
multiple domain account. For example, if you take out an account that allows up
to 6 websites (or domains), you can use one of the domains for development of
your own site; and, still have 5 domains to allocate to your clients sites. All
you need to do is pay your regular fee to your Web host; then, you can charge
your clients what ever you like.
Control Panel -
It is preferable to have full administrative control over your client’s web
sites. Make sure that, not only does your Web host provide you with a control
panel that includes full administrative facilities to easily manage your
multiple account, but that your host provides your clients with their own
control panel too. Most importantly your web host should give you the facility
to ‘hide your Web hosts identity’ so clients are unaware that you are offering a
third party service. Ensure that you can customize your clients control panel to
suit your own requirements.
Terms and
conditions - Terms and conditions are essential when offering any service,
ensure that all your clients have a copy of your terms and conditions. Many
resellers forget to create their own terms and conditions, as they are often
very time-consuming to write. If you ask a Web host you will find that some of
them will either let you copy theirs or they will just supply you with terms and
conditions specifically written for this purpose.
Fast and
reliable support - Fast and reliable, service and support, is essential, from
your Web hosting company. If something happens to your client’s web site it is
important to be able to get the problem solved as soon as possible. You don’t
want clients being unhappy with your hosting services, as this will reflect
badly on your other services too.
Reselling can be
a very profitable side business if you find the right host. It may take up some
of your time, however, if you put the time and effort into providing a little
bit extra in your services, not only will your clients be a lot happier you will
have a rewarding total Web services business.
