Reseller Hosting is a generic term that applies to several different kinds of Web Hosting. It isn’t a definition of the kind of Web Hosting on offer, as such, as the kind of person offering it.
A Hosting Reseller purchases a larger Web Hosting account from a Web Hosting company, and in turn sells portions of their account to their own customers. These resellers provide their customers with the hosting that the original host is providing, while they eschew the need to set up the costly technical hardware themselves. Reseller Hosting is growing in popularity among website design firms that want to offer hosting to their clients, new web hosting businesses that are trying to get one foot in the door, or companies with a number of websites.
Hosting resellers might offer dedicated solutions, VPS, or shared hosting, as described in part two. Because web hosting resellers tend to buy their own hosting an discounted prices, these savings are often passed along to their own customers. There is one big problem with Reseller Hosting and that is that the Reseller is a client of the business from which they originally purchased their hosting. The amount of support the Reseller can provide you with depends on the service they’re buying from, but oftentimes if you contact your Reseller Host about a problem all they’ll do is turn around and get support from the main web host.
Someone may find Reseller Hosting most beneficial from a selling aspect, in order to expand their business to a sizable portfolio of websites. If these two activities aren’t something you plan on pursuing, shared hosting is the best option for you, since it provides more options and versatility, as well as a relatively inexpensive cost.
For now though, Dave thinks he is happy with a single site, he would just prefer to have more control and performance as his site is getting quite busy and he has a few demanding redesign plans in mind.
