Reseller web hosting provides a reseller hosting account to the reseller who resells space and bandwidth to their own clients. There is usually plenty of bandwidth and space for this type of service.

What Is A Web Hosting Reseller?

Web Hosting reseller is a person or a company that acts like an agent to resell the hosting companies products and services. The web hosting reseller can receive commissions and or discounts from the web hosting reseller company. They may even create their own custom web reseller accounts to re-sell to customers.

It is important to realize that when dealing with a reseller web hosting company, some of the control has been taken out of your hands. You will want to make sure the web hosting reseller service is not having problems with downtime. You can end up missing out on important emails and or sales from your valuable customers.

With the right web hosting reseller company, web site developers can be successful with a reseller web hosting service or business. They can provide their customers with web hosting and create web sites at the same time. This is why it is a good idea to find a web hosting company that offers multiple hosting accounts with their web hosting reseller services. A web developer can then host their clients web sites from their own reseller web hosting account.

One of the best things to do before choosing a web hosting reseller company is to get a list of reference sites you can check out to see if they have downtime. With web reseller hosting companies and services you can ask other web site developers about what web hosting resellers they have had good quality service with.

Another important aspect to consider is, does the web hosting reseller have a great list of services and features that you will be able to offer to your customers. This may be the reason you are considering a web hosting reseller in the first place. Take time to shop around for the best web hosting reseller and you will know you have made the right decision.

The World Wide Web has brought with it some of the most amazing technological advances ever seen by a single generation. Just ten years ago, it was considered cutting edge for a company to simply have its own website, never mind an interactive page with high-tech graphics and shopping carts. But now if a business doesnt have its own site, they are considered to be archaic by the majority of net surfers. But with all of these advances come some issues, especially for those companies and businesses that require larger or heavily visited sites. For this and other reasons, dedicated servers and managed hosting has become quite popular in the more recent years of the Internet.

Simply put, a dedicated server refers to the manner in which Web hosting is done. A shared Web hosting company may have several different companies websites on one of their on-premises computers, all running at the same time. But larger companies (with the websites to match), maybe with a forum or need for a lot of storage, are much better off with their own computer from a Web hosting company. This is what a dedicated server is- one computer from a Web hosting company that is dedicated to the needs of one website. Not only does such a server save the client network administration fees and overall costs, client router, Internet connection and security system, but also can usually be fully operated by you, the client.

Once youve decided that the best interest of your business and website includes a dedicated server, you need to decide on a Web host. The computer that holds all of your websites information (the html, graphics, etc.) is your (managed) web host, which may be either dedicated to you or not, as described above). You pay the web hosting company a fee to keep all of your sites information.

Besides the extra storage space that accompanies a dedicated server, there are many other perks that come along with the package because, of course, a dedicated server is more costly than a shared one. For example, if another website on your shared server were to experience an extremely high level of traffic, your website would suffer drastically. If you want to run your own software on your site, a typical shared server wont allow you to. And the security level on a shared server is much lower than that of a dedicated one.

When it comes to the future of your website, both a dedicated and shared server enable you to upgrade your space and service as needed, but a dedicated server doesnt have the restrictions that a shared server will have. After all, when you share a bedroom with your siblings, youre going to have significantly less closet space than when you have your own room.

There is an ongoing features war among hosting websites, hosting companies and individuals who resell hosting space to persons interested in setting up websites, blogs, e-commerce or just your plain simple website.

The war began when someone or some hosting provider decided to lower their prices to lure potential customers; but, have we noticed where this has taken the consumer? Dont bother with the idea that the cost of hard drive storage has gotten cheap. Let me break it to you my readers, infrastructure cost money. Hard drive might be cheap, but servers, server space, establishing lavish data centers, electricity etc. are all very expensive

A few techies have decided they know about features and website needs and have probably contributed to the fact that hosting companies have gotten into the practice of beefing up their packages to undoubtedly some of the most unrealistic and unreachable hosting plans Ive ever seen; unlimited bandwidth, unlimited storage, and unlimited basically everything. But, before you get too excited, please, look at the end of most of these unlimited you will see a seemingly insignificant *. Do not ignore it.

Lots of people or should I say, the majority of seekers for online presence do not and probably never will notice the *, nor do they understand the true meaning of this notation and how it changes the plan. Frankly, there is no such thing as unlimited storage or bandwidth. If someone was cheeky enough they would put this to the test and what would the host get from that? .a lawsuit. Thankfully, what would save the day for them is that * you did not see.

The big question in my mind is Are we asking hosting providers for what we never use? Another question is Are we leading the hosting sites/companies to give us more and more of what we really dont need?

As someone who has a bit of knowledge in the field of technology (mark you, I am not Gods gift to the techie world), my opinion and that of several others, is that these features we so hog are features we really never use. I visited a website a few days ago and examined the hosting plan the owner had purchased. I questioned him as to why he thought he needed such an elaborate package for such a small site. His answer was The package looked good with all the features.

Might I add, this website does not have a database running on it, it doesnt have any server sides loaded or running, it doesnt have any background applications or anything fancy. In fact, the site is simply a twelve page site. However, the hosting package purchased was 5000MB, 1000 POP Email accounts, dream weaver, ASP, unlimited transfer, unlimited bandwidth, PHP, unlimited sub-domain names, you name it, this plan has it only for the price of $9.95 per month.

Now my readers, what would you do with a plan like this knowing the content and projected size of your website? Are customers being misled, or is it that hosting companies are forced or driven by a fake demand for these elaborate packages? Or, is this out-doing the competition? Are customers forced to take features they probably will never ever use?

I long to see a plan that really makes sense, a plan tailored for small owners who really dont need the bells and whistles. What sense does it make to have a bulldozer when all you need is a wheel barrow to do the job right? Is this a waste of money or resources? Frankly, its a waste of precious resources; resources that should be put to better use.

Please, dont get me wrong, Im not saying hosting companies/sites should water-down their products; what I am asking is, Arent the companies/sites the ones who should tailor products to meet the markets needs? If this is the case please dont say the market is demanding it, because in the real world not all website owners are gurus and want a top notch website.

Secondly, do not fool yourselves with the notion that you might need it at a later time; this is not a disaster we are preparing for. If that is the case, why not encourage everyone with a computer or a company to buy Filer Server(s) and Rack Enclosures just in case they buy another five (5) or six (6) Servers, then they can use the space.

What I think we should focus on is service; customer service and account service. Over the years the number one demand from customers has been for better service. Complaints range from I cant get any service from this host to I have a problem with that host; my website has been down for a while now and I cant find anyone at the host to talk to.

In most cases these problems are self inflicted, simply because features are what catch buyers and not the fine print. I have always noticed that shoppers in most cases simply pickup goods without so much as a clue as to what the value added is. However, when we get home we realize we have a half box of what we really dont need and what is really not necessary. By that time we are already stuck with the goods or end up saying we had a bad online shopping experience because money back takes a bit of time to come through.

Overall, in my mind, the ultimate question arises, why does the want always outweigh the need, or should I say what is important?
