So you’re looking for a cheap web hosting reseller.
A cheap web hosting reseller is for you if…
Your’re starting a hosting company? A developer looking for an additional service to offer your clients? Or just someone who owns multiple websites and wants to take advantage of the price advantage of being a reseller?
No matter where you fit in the above three scenarios a web hosting reseller account is your best bet! But there are so many companies out there offering the same thing… how can I decide which provider to choose. Voila that’s why you’re hear we’re going to shed some light on the subject for you and point you in the right direction.
So what do you really need?
Well like any web hosting account the same requirements come into play, but now you have to consider how many domains you can host on a reseller account based on the resources available.
How many domains does the reseller allow?
Quite often a web hosting reseller will allow you unlimited domains on your account. I’d recommend going with a provider that offers this feature because it leaves room for unlimited expansion. Now don’t let the concept of a cheap web hosting reseller scare you. You can still get the best features and support for a cheap price you just need to know where to look.
How much space?
The reality is that most websites really aren’t very big. For instance this site your on right now is under 5 MB in total and it has a ton of pages on content on it. So what would use a lot of space then? Well if you’re hosting a site with multimedia integrated or large photos be prepared to need 50 – 100 MB or more of space for that site. Now keep in mind not every site will be that size but you should ensure you have adequate space to handle 8-10 domains. If you’re web hosting reseller provides you with a 1 or 2 GB of space you should be fine. How much transfer do I need?
The preliminary question to this is do we all know what transfer is? Simply put it’s the amount of usage the web hosting provider will allow you to use for transferring your websites to a viewers computer. For example if your home page consists of two photo’s three paragraphs of text and an animated flash logo we’ll say that it takes up 250K or a quarter of a MB of space. So if you had 1 MB of transfer allowed you could transfer that page 4 times before you ran out of room. (1MB = 1000K …1000K / 250K = 4 views).
Now that is a very simple overview and rarely would a page actually be that big but it illustrates the point. SO with this in mind transfer is important. You should be sure you have at least 50 GB of transfer on any reseller account this will ensure you have 4-5GB of transfer for each domain you’re hosting.
Other Stuff
Many cheap web hosting reseller will provide the ability to customize control panels to look like your company rather then the provider. Or other fancy options but really the only other thing to concern yourself with are the standard Web hosting features. Do they support databases? Do they support scripting languages like PHP? Most web hosts do now but always be sure to check…never assume. You all know why I’m sure.
So we all know what to look for where the heck can you find it? A few of the cheap web hosting resellers I’ve found around the net are
1.) TBhost.com Reseller Hosting
2.) GemStream.com Reseller Hosting
3.) WebWizards.net Reseller Hosting
