Web Hosting Reseller

See how easy it is to start your own web hosting reseller business just like I did here at WebBizDeals.

Secrets to Making Money As a Web Hosting Reseller!

Do you need to make some extra money each month to pay off your bills? How about take that dream vacation you've always wanted.

Maybe you already run a successful business, and you're looking for ways to make additional money with less effort.

Perhaps you're a web designer looking for ways to provide web hosting to your clients while increasing your profits.

It may be that you want to quit your day job, get out of the 9 to 5 rat race, and start working for yourself from the comfort of your own home.

I started my first web hosting business with a $20 investment right here on WebBizDeals. And with just a little bit of know-how and effort you can do the same.

Being a hosting reseller is the ultimate business as it produces residual income from all your customers.

If you're reading this, you're probably interested in making more money, having the freedom to do the things you want, and living life to the fullest.

Do any of these things strike a chord with you?

  • Work at home

  • Run your own business

  • Control your own schedule

  • Spend more time with your family and loved ones

  • Get hosting for your own websites for free

  • Make money while you're sleeping

Did you know that the Internet is a 24/7 money-making machine?

At all times, regardless of what you're doing, money is being made by someone on the Internet. That means that while you're eating, working, playing, sleeping, money is flooding into the pockets of Internet entrepreneurs from all around the world.

The Internet is Huge, and there's piles of money to be made with plenty of room for anyone to join the system and start profiting.

That's one of my reasons for sharing this information with you. The web hosting reseller market is so HUGE there's enough room for many more players.

Imagine owning your own web hosting reseller Internet business. Each time a customer makes a purchase the money is automatically sent to your account, even if you're sleeping!

Trillions, yes trillions, of dollars are being spent on the Internet and thousands of people are enjoying a new lifestyle and fulfilling their goals and dreams each day.

Would you like to be one of them?

I actually stumbled on being a web hosting reseller after spending some time selling products on eBay. Heck, what did I have to lose? In terms of business opportunities, the startup cost was tiny (only $20 in this case).

Besides I needed a web hosting account for my own website. Since I knew I would be expanding into having even more websites, I figured by just reselling a few of those 100 web hosting spots I could break even on the $20 month web hosting fee and get my own web hosting for free!

Needless to say, I have had free web hosting for many years now... plus lot's of extra cash profits.

If your looking to just pay for your cost of hosting and get your own web hosting service for free that is very simple to do. If on the other hand your looking to make the big bucks then you will have to put in a little more effort into this venture.

Why Web Hosting?

Every day there are thousands of new websites added to the world wide web. Today there are millions upon millions of websites, and millions more are being added each year.

Guess what?

EVERY single one of those websites has to have a web host!

If they don't have a web hosting service, then nobody will be able to see their website. That's a fact.

As you can imagine, the web hosting business is a hugely profitable and rapidly growing industry. There are already thousands of web hosting companies in existence.

However, don't think for a moment that there is too much competition for the little guy. There are literally so many websites being added to the web each day that if you could even capture a small fraction of a percent you could be rich!

Think about it... web hosting is one of the most powerful business opportunities you can start without spending a fortune.

Keep this in mind: "Web hosting revenues will reach $19.8 billion by 2004, up from $1.4 billion in 1999" - International Data Corp.
 

What exactly is a web hosting reseller?

Web hosting resellers are people who buy or lease web hosting resources (server space, bandwidth) from an internet service provider and then resells those services to others.

This is very easy to do and most of the business at hand is setting up new accounts in an admin control panel.

A word of caution to web hosting resellers to be...

This information is NOT a get-rich-quick scheme. You will not be able to do nothing and make money. It's not MLM or any of those "bizops" you've tried before. Being a web hosting reseller is a  real opportunity that takes real work.

After you put in some real work you'll see the fruits of your labor as you sign up client after client. At that point you have the option of sitting back, taking a break, and watching the profits roll in on auto-pilot. Or you can become even more successful by surging forward and becoming like a select few out there - true elite web hosting resellers.

It's really up to you how successful you wish to be. Some web hosting resellers are happy with a few hundred or a few thousand extra dollars per month. Others want to go for the gold. It's your business so you get to decide what kind of success you want for yourself.

Becoming a web hosting reseller is not for everyone! I know this sounds cruel, but some people, even armed with the proper information, still fail to run a successful business. Here is a little test to see if you have what it takes:

Web Hosting Resellers Test

1) Do you desire to make money by running a web based business?

2) Do you have a good understanding of the Internet?

3) Are you willing to learn new things?

4) Are you willing to work?

5) Do you know how to use email?

6) Do you know how to use FTP?

If you answered yes to the above questions you are a perfect candidate to become a successful web hosting reseller.

If you were unable to answer yes to any of the above questions I would recommend working on those areas first.

Web Hosting Resellers Opportunities

If you've been researching reseller programs for awhile now, you've probably seen ads that say make $XX or $XXK per year. While it is true that the potential with many reseller programs is virtually unlimited, most examples you see are best case scenarios which in reality rarely happen. Most calculations do not take into consideration clients that quit your service, nor do they take into account any marketing expenses.

To put this in perspective, you must keep in mind that you'll have clients that will drop your service after several months. On the other hand, you'll also have clients that stick with your service for years and years if you give them good service and support.

Of course you are only limited by the amount of time and effort you want to invest in your business. Set reasonable goals of getting X amount of clients each month and then building on this each month. This will result in you creating a residual web hosting income for yourself that get's bigger and bigger each month!

The only catch to the whole business is being sure you deal with a reputable company that provides you with fast servers and good service. There are many fly-by-night companies out there to just make a buck, so be careful and make your decision wisely.

Best Reseller Hosting we have found and continue to use today. They are absolutely wonderful when it comes to speedy customer service, fast servers, and very knowledgeable to boot. We highly recommend that you put them at the top of your list.
