Reseller HostingReseller hosting is a service of web hosting where one account owner sells part of his or her disc space to another person who wants his or her website hosted. The account owner shares their bandwidth with the new web owner. It is a cheaper way of hosting your website since you do not have to deal with the company providing the hard drive space as well as the bandwidth. Reseller hosting can be done either by having your website domain hosted under the website of the account holder, which is much cheaper, or by having your website domain on itself. The latter is preferred by many to avoid their websites looking like subsidiary websites of the account owner. Most of the countries in the third world countries rely on reseller hosting for their website hosting solutions. This is because getting a web hosting account with a bandwidth provider is expensive. A hosting reseller applies for a number of hosting accounts from the bandwidth provider company and they the sell the bandwidth and the hard drive space. The costs of web hosting are charged based on the memory space that a website occupies in a hard drive and the amount of bandwidth that the website consumes at a normal usage rate. Most of the hosting resellers prefer selling the bandwidth yearly. This gives them a good earning and it enables them to expand their business easily. An annual hosting subscription costs an average of $10o but depending on the software used in making the website, the charges could increase since some web design applications consume higher bandwidth. A website with video and many photo applications or a database is likely to cost more than a website that has a number of worded documents only. When you are looking for a provider of reseller hosting, the factors that you consider are mostly the company that has leased out their account and the strength of the bandwidth of that company. You should also consider a company that will revise their contract terms when you change the application or the memory of your website. This is because with the continued developments in the IT industry, things are becoming cheaper by the day and websites can now be modified to a number of Megabytes. If the contract with the hosting reseller is fixed, then you will be forced to pay too much for bandwidth that you are not using which is inefficient. Most of the hosting resellers usually send a tracking record of bandwidth and some even go a step ahead and get an analysis of your website like a web traffic report that shows the number of hits your website received and how the bandwidth consumption faired in a certain financial period. Reseller hosting does not limit the bandwidth or the space that they lease out to their customers. This is because an account holder is allowed to increase their bandwidth and space of hard drive as much as they want to cater for the expansion of their websites. |
