Reseller Hosting for Freelancers and Agencies
If you build websites for clients, you don't want to manage a separate hosting account for each one. With reseller hosting you host all your clients' websites neatly from a single control panel, under your own name. In this article you'll learn what reseller hosting is and whether it fits you.
What is reseller hosting?
With reseller hosting you rent server space that you divide up yourself into separate hosting packages for your clients. You decide how much storage, bandwidth and email addresses each client gets. Your client won't see that it runs on bHosted: the environment is fully white-label.
Who is reseller hosting suited for?
- Web designers and agencies who want to offer hosting as an extra service to clients.
- Freelancers who manage multiple client websites and want to do so neatly from one panel.
- Entrepreneurs who want to resell hosting packages under their own brand name.
Reseller hosting at bHosted: what do you get?
- Your own DirectAdmin environment, fully anonymous: your client never sees that it runs on bHosted anywhere. On request you even get your own IP address, registered in your name at RIPE if you'd like.
- Build your own hosting packages. You decide how much storage, bandwidth, email addresses and FTP accounts each client gets.
- Extensive backups. Every reseller package includes automatic backups: hourly for the last 12 hours, daily for the last week, weekly for the last month, and monthly for the last year. Easy to restore yourself through the control panel.
- Domain registration with volume discounts. Register a lot of domain names for clients, and the discounts add up nicely at larger quantities.
- Let's Encrypt and paid SSL certificates, requested and installed without any hassle.
- Installatron, so you or your client can install WordPress or another application with a single click.
Reseller hosting or a VPS for multiple clients?
Torn between reseller hosting and a VPS to host multiple client websites? The difference mainly comes down to management and flexibility. Reseller hosting gives you a ready-to-use, white-label DirectAdmin environment where you quickly set up packages. A VPS gives you more technical freedom, but then you manage the server software yourself. For most web design agencies and freelancers, reseller hosting is the easiest starting point.
