Making Money with Reseller Hosting

Reselling hosting has its perks definitely. It is extremely easy to start and extremely easy to stop. It costs about $20 per month to start a reseller’s account and it is well worth it to say the least. For $20 a month you will get a certain amount of Bandwidth and disk space that you can resell for a profit. Earlier in another post I talked about the break down of the disk space and bandwidth. If you were to get a package with 500GB of bandwidth and 50GB of disk space and break it down into 50 different packages you would make $500 a month if you sold the packages at $10 a piece.
What’s so great about reseller hosting is you can sell it for whatever price you want. So say you resell each of those 50 packages for $20 a piece instead of $10 a piece per month, you make twice as much.
How can you sell for more?
Well a lot of people will pay top dollar if you are willing to do all of the set up for them. So If you go to a local business and tell them you will set up a nice blog for them and do everything for them, they would be willing to pay any where from $20-$100 a month, because they simply do not know how to set up a website and hosting nor do they want to spend the time doing it. Most business are swamped with things to do, and they know that they need to get their business online but they do not want to go through the hassle of all of the learning.
Imagine this…
Instead of selling all 50 of those packages for $10 a month, you went around to businesses and set up websites for them and sold them their package for $50 a month. Now 50 multiplied by 50 are $2,500 a month that you will have of revenue.
Now this isn’t as easy as it sounds but it a whole lot easier than working a 9-5 job. If you want to read more about selling hosting to ***local businesses check out our local business sales entry.
So really there are many different ways to make money with selling hosting but the basic gist of it is that you will be purchasing X amount of space from a hosting company from anywhere from $20-100 a month and you will be re selling that hosting to people. You will need to figure out a price you would like to sell each plan for. One great thing about reselling hosting is that you can have multiple planes. For example you can have a business plan, an economy plan, and a starter plan, all with different prices and all different sizes.
It is key to make a website for your hosting company and make sure that it looks as professional as possible because this is where everyone is going to go when they here about your hosting opportunities. The websites are not hard to come across, there are plenty of free*** hosting templates that you can use for your reseller hosting account.
The money to be made with reseller hosting is limitless but it does take work.
