Web hosting allows you to store data and other website content on a web server. The web hosts are also responsible for maintaining the web server. There are different kinds of web hosting, namely free hosting, shared hosting, dedicated hosting, collocation hosting, clustered hosting, and reseller hosting.

Reseller web hosting is a kind of web hosting in which a web hosting company sells storage space for a lower amount to a reseller, who in turn splits his/her allotted storage space and bandwidth with other individuals or companies.

There are different kinds of reseller hosting schemes. As a reseller, you can work as an agent or a marketer for the web host. The difference is that as an agent, clients buy directly from the web hosting company and you receive a commission or a discount, while as a marketer, the clients buy directly from you. As a reseller, you can also act as a web hosting company by buying web space and bandwidth from a web hosting company at a lower price, then dividing it and selling it to clients. For any support needs, the client contacts you instead of the web hosting company, although the web hosting company is still responsible for maintaining the web servers.

If you want to host a number of domains without actually becoming a web host, then reseller hosting is appropriate for you. As a reseller, you will be given a control panel to provide support to your clients, such as e-mail, login and scripting functions. You will not need to know the technical aspect of web hosting, since this is managed by the web hosts. The web hosts are also supplies you with basic reseller hosting services, including website templates and custom domain name servers. However, your earnings will only depend on how many customers you have.
