What is Reseller Hosting?
Reseller Hosting is a service model that allows a person or company to rent bulk resources (disk, bandwidth, CPU, RAM, etc.) from a main hosting provider and resell these resources to their own customers in sub-packages. In other words, you resell the hosting service as a "reseller".

This system is especially suitable for:

Web design agencies

Freelance software developers

Those who want to get into the hosting business.

How Does It Work?
You Get a Reseller Plan from a Hosting Company:
It usually comes with a WHM (Web Host Manager) panel.

You Create Customer Accounts via WHM Panel:
You define a special cPanel for each customer.

You Distribute Resources:
You determine quotas such as disk space, traffic limit, e-mail account and create packages.

You Create Your Brand:
You use your own brand name in areas such as customer panel, e-mail notifications, DNS.
