Hosting unlimited websites can cost just a few dollars monthly. The hosting industry is very competitive and hosting companies have thought of ways to increase their business. The good thing is that the consumer, you the webmaster, benefits from this stiff competition. You can now host unlimited websites, with unlimited bandwidth for a very little monthly cost.

But the good news doesn't end there. Hosting companies have reseller agreements that you can profit from. Just add a few dollars to your monthly fee and you can have business agreements with the hosting company. This will allow you to become a web host yourself and sell your own hosting services. These reseller agreements often include the software and the shopping cart system that you can use to charge your customers.

Being a web host used to involve investing huge amounts of money for the hardware, the manpower involved, the office space. Not anymore. With the advent of reseller agreements, you can now become a real web host with very minimal investment.

But then remember that the hosting business is a very competitive one. You have to offer an advantage that only you can offer. One would be excellent and personal technical support. You can target your market to be just a local community at a time. By providing personalized service, and establishing a community, you can beat the big players.

You can even rent a small office in a local community and offer hosting service. That way, you will establish better credibility in the eyes of your local clients. People still believe brick and mortar businesses than purely online ones. And this model can succeed for you. Not everyone is comfortable with a brick and mortar business especially if you are offering an online commodity like hosting.

However, if you can corner a small community that you can charge for a regular small fee, you can scale this to a bigger business. You can establish local offices in small communities and just hire employees to take care of the established businesses. You can even set-up a franchise business.
