reseller hosting  is a type of hosting wherein the account owner has the ability to make use of his/her allotted
hard drive space & bandwidth to host sites on behalf of third parties. The reseller purchases the host's services wholesale & then sells them to customers, possibly
for a profit. A definite portion of hard drive & bandwidth is apportioned to the reseller account. The reseller may rent a dedicated server from a  web hosting company, or resell shared hosting services. In the latter case, the reseller is basically given the permission to sell a
definite amount of disk space & bandwidth to his own customers without renting a server from a hosting company he signed for a reseller account with.
The typical hosting reseller might be a web design firm, web developer or systems integrator who offers hosting as an add-on service. Reseller hosting is also an cheap

way for hosting entrepreneurs to start a company. Most reseller hosting designs permit resellers to generate their own service designs & select their own pricing
structure. In plenty of cases, resellers can establish their own branding by custom-made control panels & name servers.
Reseller hosting does not require extensive knowledge of the technical aspects of hosting. Usually, the knowledge middle operator is responsible for maintaining
network infrastructure & hardware, & the dedicated server owner configures, secures, & updates the server. A reseller is responsible for interfacing with his/her own customer base, but any hardware, application & connectivity issues are usually forwarded to the server provider from whom the reseller plan was bought. Being a
profitable reseller firm usually involves extensive promotion to get customers. While the every month fees with major cheap hosting
are only a few dollars a month, it is a low margin business, & resellers must devote large promotion budgets to compete with established competitors. However, hosting
is of the largest online businesses, because every web-site needs hosting.
