Reseller Web Hosting - A Cheaper Alternative

There comes a time when the internet bug hits us all and we tend

to acquire a wealth of domain names and web sites to feed our

frenzy.



We start out with the best intentions, set up a personal home

page with a few details about ourselves, then create more for our

family, then our business and before we know it we have several

domain names and web sites spread across several web hosting

companies.



A more convenient approach would be to set yourself up with a

reseller account with one hosting company.



Most people assume that to have a reseller account, you need to

be in the business of selling hosting. This is not true. Anyone

can set up a reseller account and enjoy the benefits of saving

money and also having the convenience of only dealing with one

company for all your hosting needs.



I'll take my hosting reseller http://www.HostingRevolution.com as

an example. They provide a very competitive reseller account

priced at $35. Their Reseller's Package allows you to host 100

Domains. You are allowed to give every Domain you host up to

20GB's of monthly transfer and up to 2.5GB of storage.



Previously I had over ten domain names and associated web sites

that were costing me around $5 - $10 a month to host. The average

months hosting costs were around $50 - $60. Therefore, by setting

up a reseller account and transferring my domains and web sites

over to my reseller account I made an instant saving of $15 a

month.



Now, another extension of this would be to start selling hosting

to your friends, after all, you have a reseller account. So if

you have ten friends, ask them if they would like web hosting on

your server, maybe offer it free to them and ask them to

recommend your services to their friends, these can then become

"paying" customers. Now YOU can get people to pay for hosting and

make back the monthly reseller fee. Just sell ten accounts for $3

a month and you have instant income of $30 to offset the $35

reseller fee you are paying. So you get hosting for $5 a month

for as many domains and sites as you like.



So, with the reseller account you have helped yourself, helped

your friends, and possibly started making money as well.
