| Three Common Misconceptions About Reselling |
|
Reseller web hosts buy online space from another dedicated server, then sell it to their own clients. Many believe that reseller web hosting is easy money. But it’s not as easy as it looks. Here are three misconceptions about reseller web hosting.
|
|
- It’s cheap: The amount of space and hardware you’ll need doesn’t come cheaply. Your business also depends on the host you choose—pinching pennies could lead to your business’s failure.
- You don’t need technical knowledge: Would you set up your website with a reseller with no technical knowledge? Even with graphic interfaces, you need to troubleshoot, answer client questions, and know enough about the technical side to convince people to choose your business—not the other guy’s.
- It’s easy: Easy money is a myth. You’ll be competing not only with thousands of other legit web hosting businesses, but also with those free or bargain-basement web hosting offers that sound so tempting to your customers. You’ll have to advertise and educate better than your competitors.

Reseller web hosting can be rewarding, but just like any other business, it requires time, effort and money. If you have realistic expectations, you’re much more likely to succeed.
