Does Reseller Hosting Really Help To Make Money?

I was just going through few hosting sites and reading more about reseller hosting. Reseller hosting has many types like it can be done for Windows, Linux Shared Dedicated etc. To become a Reseller the requirements are like a computer (many people have), internet connection (yes it’s a basic need of all these days), money (small amount) and finally the willingness to do it.
When I went through the requirements I was moved as anyone can afford them!
Further reading more about how to start, what are the factors, tactics to develop this reseller business seriously. Few insights into peoples experiences testimonials I came to know that to make your reseller business a success requires lots of dedication and sound marketing strategies.
Also there are few things to consider before implementing your reseller business:
Hosting Company:   
Research the hosting company as this company will ultimately act as Brand name and also decide the success of your Reseller Hosting Business. The Company should be reputable and also provide fully featured packages.
Reseller Account:
Get your reseller account! You can usually get a basic package which includes disk storage, bandwidth and various other features with some limitations. But usually these features are enough to start with!
Hosting Plans:
Until now all steps were easy but now the real challenge comes, planning the hosting prices. After purchasing a reseller account, you will be provided access to a control panel, where in you can create hosting packages, decide prices etc. Actually this is not the main issue as the package creation is easy but pricing is more tough decision as it is the main factor of attraction for customers.
Promote Your Business:
Once all done setup is finished, you have to promote your hosting business. As this is the only way by which world can know about you as a Reseller! Obvious way of promotion is creating your own website; this is the easiest thing nowadays with so many Content Management Systems to help.

One might be wondering while reading this article where is the money. This was the same question which came in my mind when I was reading about reseller hosting. Reseller accounts allow the space and bandwidth to be bought in smaller ‘chunks’. That way smaller hosts aren’t wasting resources – and subsequently money. This allows new hosts to grow into a dedicated server instead of taking the large initial plunge with the much higher monthly fee. A start up host may now yield a small profit instead of a large loss month after month.
I’ll take http://www.ask4host.com as an example. They provide a very competitive reseller account priced at $39.2.Their Reseller’s Package allows you a Disk Space of 5 GB and monthly Bandwidth of 500GB also provide Unlimited Sub domains, FTP accounts, Email accounts etc.
Also I just went through some testimonials of clients and individuals. And read more about their experiences all were just bubbling with happiness. This was really motivating for me so I end up writing this article. Hope you liked it will I get back to you with more sound research about Reseller Hosting.
