Getting Started with Linux and Windows Reseller Plans

What Reseller Hosting Actually Is

Reseller hosting lets you purchase hosting capacity in bulk and resell it to your own clients as your own branded hosting business, without needing to own or manage physical server hardware yourself. You set your own pricing, manage your own client accounts, and build your own hosting brand on top of our infrastructure.

Who Reseller Hosting Is For

Reseller hosting is a common fit for web design and development agencies that want to offer hosting alongside the websites they build, IT consultants managing hosting for multiple small business clients, and entrepreneurs looking to start a hosting business without the capital investment of building infrastructure from scratch.

Linux or Windows Reseller

Your choice between Linux and Windows reseller hosting depends primarily on what your clients need, not necessarily your own personal preference, since you may end up supporting clients with different underlying requirements.

Linux Reseller Hosting is the more common choice, well suited to clients running WordPress, standard PHP applications, and most common web platforms. Windows Reseller Hosting is the right fit specifically for clients whose applications depend on the .NET framework or other Windows specific software.

Setting Up Your First Client Account

Once your reseller account is active, you will have access to a master control panel where you create individual hosting accounts for each of your clients. Each client account operates independently, with its own control panel access, its own resource allocation within your overall plan, and no visibility into your other clients' accounts.

Branding Your Reseller Business

One of the most valuable aspects of reseller hosting is the ability to present the hosting experience as entirely your own, rather than visibly reselling someone else's service. See White Label Branding for Resellers for details on how this works.
