As the title says, I’m about to dive into the reseller hosting business. I run a small agency and want to offer hosting to my clients, both current and future, to generate some extra revenue without having to spend much time on managing it. Can anyone suggest the best Managed Reseller Hosting providers? I’m looking for a solution that’s as hands-off as possible, as I don’t want to focus too much on managing the hosting myself.
One thing to consider: with ‘reseller’ hosting, you’re responsible for billing and support for your clients directly. You buy a larger server slice, divide it up for your customers, and manage everything.
If you don’t want to handle support or billing, you might want to consider joining an affiliate program with a hosting provider instead. That way, when you land a client, you just refer them to sign up for a specific hosting package. They’ll handle their own account, and you’ll get paid a commission for the referral. This could save you a lot of time and headaches.
I agree with EOL. An affiliate program might be a better option if you don’t want to manage the hosting or support at all.
If you want to go the affiliate route, check out the directory site ‘TapRefer.com.’ They list tons of hosting affiliate programs. You can focus on referring customers to the hosting company, and they’ll handle all the support and management.
