Without investing much, you can simply begin with your web hosting business via reseller hosting.
In reseller hosting, you can use the resources of a parent web hosting provider and resell these resources as if they belong to your own web hosting company. Most of the reseller hosting providers such as MyResellerHome cater with white labeled hosting which means you can sell the web hosting services with your own brand name and logo and none of your clients will ever know about this.
If you ready to set up your reseller hosting business with MyResellerHome, here is a complete startup guide to help kick-start your reseller hosting business with MyResellerHome.
Purchase a suitable plan that will fulfill the need of your clients and is good enough in terms of resources. Choosing a reseller hosting plan will completely depend upon the number of clients you have and the amount of resources their website requires
MyResellerHome provides reseller and shared hosting plans for both – Windows and Linux platforms. You can choose as per your requirement.
You can purchase windows reseller plan and Linux reseller plan from MyResellerhome via PayPal, credit card transaction methods. MyResellerhome offers free WHMCS on most of Reseller Plans.
If you already have a reseller hosting account hosted with some other provider then you need to migrate your account to MyResellerHome server, else you can directly jump to step 3.
To proceed for migration, we will need your cPanel/WHM login details which you can mail at [email protected].
As soon as you make a purchase, your reseller account gets activated. After this, the reseller account login details sent on your registered mail id. This will have cPanel/WHM/Plesk panel details that will be used to- create hosting packages, creating cPanel accounts, change/modify packages and much more.
Once your reseller account is activated, it is required to point the domain name to MyResellerHome server.
By default, you will get nsx1.superdnssite.com , nsx2.superdnssite.com as the nameservers with MyResellerHome hosting. However, you can also register your own nameservers so as to completely rebrand your hosting under your own domain name. For example, your domain name is “resellerxx.com” you can register your own nameserver as- ns1. resellerxx.com and ns2.resellerxx.com.
This will help you to have “private nameservers” without revealing MyResellerHome server names to your clients.
If you want to have private nameservers, you can register it from your domain registrar panel or contact us
Before creating your cPanel account it is suggested to create the hosting packages first.
Creating a hosting package means deciding on a range of plans for your web hosting clients from which they can choose. You will have to specify the amount of resources you wish to allot with each plan.
To create plans follow these steps:
With the help of a cPanel, you will be able to setup individual accounts for each of your client. You can give them privileges/ resources according to the plan they have purchased.
To create cPanel accounts:
Uploading client web contents to your server comes the next step.
Using an FTP you can transfer files between your computer and the web server. For this, you will need an FTP client such as FileZilla, Cyberduck. There are many FTP clients available on the web.
You will then need to connect FTP to MyResellerHome server (use the same login details as your cPanel account). Once the connection is successfully established, the files can be uploaded.
