Reseller Hosting

Reseller hosting is the fast and easy way to set up a web hosting business. Instead of having to run your own data center, you ‘hire‘ a portion of hosting services from a company like us.

You can then resell that web hosting to businesses and individuals at a profit. It’s the reseller’s responsibility to set the pricing, and support and manage their customers.

It’s a matter of signing up, making the initial payment and you’re ready to go. You can then create and customize your first web hosting packages – and start selling!

We give you a full Getting Started Guide when you sign up, and you’ll have access to an extensive Knowledge Base and our support team to help. You can even book a live one-to-one demo to show you the ropes.

A key feature of 20i Reseller Hosting is the platform that we built ourselves. It uses autoscaling in a different way. In traditional web hosting used elsewhere, if a site becomes busy it will be given extra resources from the server on which it’s based. But those server resources are finite, so there’s always an upper limit to how much a website receives, and a busy site could affect others on the same server.

With 20i, we use ‘true autoscaling’. This means that when a website becomes busy, it gets access to a dedicated backend instantly, which is made up of multiple 40-core servers. These can provide the raw power to cope with any kind of traffic spikes. This kind of hyper elasticity isn’t available anywhere else.

We can provide this unique feature because we don’t rely on ‘off the shelf’ technologies. The same reason makes other key features possible, like our free HostShop ecommerce tool, the StackCP control panel, and our fully-featured 20iCDN. There are many more – please see our Features section for more details.

There are no limitations – beyond using your Reseller Hosting account for any kind of illegal activity.

Our control panel – My20i – is designed for bulk management of multiple hosting accounts. It gives you all the tools you need to look after your customers, including HostShop, which automates hosting provision, ecommerce, billing, marketing and more.

Our support team are available by ticket or live chat, 24x7x365. They’re made up of seasoned web hosting enthusiasts, with many years of experience.

They’re based in our headquarters. So, in the unlikely event they receive a question they can’t answer, they have direct access to our development team: the builders of our hosting platform.

They’re known for their concise, friendly and ‘human’ answers. They don’t rely on standard replies, and they aren’t focused on ‘closing’ your ticket. They’ll only class a ticket as resolved when you’re fully satisfied.

If you want to find answers yourself, we have Getting Started Guides, Product Guides and Data Sheets available in PDF format. To help with your marketing, unbranded copy is included, as well as a selection of royalty-free images and website templates. The 20i Blog includes business tips and reseller guides, too.

It makes becoming a web host cheap and simple. For relatively small payments, you get access to a large, modern hosting platform. Right away, it gives you the chance to sell on web hosting and start making money.

We offer three tiers so you can choose the right plan for you. Easily upgrade any time as your business grows, with no downtime.

We built a bespoke control panel because cPanel doesn’t allow for load-balancing and autoscaling in the way we use it. With 20i, your site isn’t restricted to one single server. It uses the whole data center’s server resources as needed and scales automatically. So, you’re not affected by spikes in traffic, or what other people are doing on the same server.

There are many other advantages. For example, it gives your customers better user experience without being too unfamiliar. Another would be that there are no licensing costs – no matter how many customers you have!

You will be billed monthly, and you can stop at any time. You can also pay for a year in advance and receive one month free.

Whether reseller hosting is profitable depends on several factors, such as the reseller’s pricing strategy, marketing efforts, and ability to manage their hosting environment and customer relationships effectively.

If a reseller can offer competitive prices combined with high-quality hosting services, it is possible to attract a significant number of customers and generate a steady stream of revenue. Reseller hosting can be a particularly effective source of recurring revenue for designers/developers.

The main difference between shared hosting and reseller hosting is that with shared hosting, you are typically provided with a single hosting account and limited resources that you can use to host your website.

With reseller hosting, you can create multiple hosting accounts and sell hosting resources to other customers.

Reseller hosting includes additional features and tools that are not available with shared hosting, such as the ability to create custom hosting packages, set your own pricing, and apply your own branding to your customers’ control panel.

Reseller hosting is used by individuals or businesses who want to offer web hosting services to their clients or customers under their own brand name. Some of the common types of users who use reseller hosting include: web developers, web designers, entrepreneurs, IT professionals, and online marketers.

Key features of a web host include:

Reliability and uptime: Look for a hosting provider that offers reliable hosting resources and a high uptime guarantee to ensure that your websites are available and accessible to visitors.

Scalability and flexibility: Choose a hosting provider that offers scalable and flexible hosting resources, including the ability to add or remove hosting accounts and allocate resources as needed. Our autoscaling cloud hosting is a great example.

White-label: Look for a hosting provider that allows you to white-label your hosting services, so that you can offer hosting services under your own branding and domain name.

Customer support: Choose a hosting provider that offers 24/7 customer support, including technical support, billing support, and other assistance as needed.

Security and backup: Look for a hosting provider that offers robust security features such as SSL certificates, firewalls, and malware scanning, as well as regular backups to protect your websites and data.

Control panel: Choose a hosting provider that offers an intuitive and user-friendly control panel that allows you to manage your hosting environment and your customers’ accounts easily. We have our own, custom made panel, My20i.
