There are thousands of websites developing everyday ,so web hosting is a very fruitful business today. A good reseller host can play in strawberry fields if he is well versed in running this reseller business. It demands good quality skills which in turn will add quantity to their business.

The first and most important thing you need to do is find a reliable web hosting service With good reseller plans . There is an abundance of reseller hosting providers these days but you have to be very choosy and patient in going to the host which has both of the above mentioned qualities.

A reliable web host will mean that the clients you sign up will not run into problems and in case they do, the host must be able to provide proper customer service and respond quickly to any technical problems. If you succeed in providing a reliable hosting service then surely they will refer your name to their knowns who wish to develop websites

You will be able to earn more with hosts that already have reseller programs as they will already have good packages on offer that you need to pay very little for and yet have high revenue potential with. Some reseller programs are specifically designed so that resellers are able to enter the web hosting business with very low overheads.

These days we have hosting services that have flexible plans. This will enable you to sign on a higher volume of customers and should also give you a more reliable and steady stream of income. In one popular program I know the reseller pays only $ 24.95 per Month for 10 GB space/30 GB Bandwidth. If the reseller has 100 accounts hosted @ $ 6.00/month. He has to bill his customers every month and will get paid a total of $ 600 income.

As a reseller you will also need to have a well thought out plan on how you are going to market and promote your own web site. There is no way your reseller program is going to be successful unless you have a system for attracting enough traffic to your web site so that you have a good chance of turning a high percentage of that number into actual paying clients who will pay the web host you are working with, so that you can in turn get your reseller commissions.

It is absolutely important for the reseller control panel at the web host to provide absolute control for you as a reseller to manage and invoice your clients. This is especially useful where you have a monthly payment system. In this case good records are imperative so as to ensure that follow up for payment is made as easy as possible. There are some hosts that even have private label features and offer multi lingual control panel.
