Business Reseller Hosting as a Small Enterprise
If you already have experience hosting a large web space, and are comfortable allocating smaller chunks of your web space for different purposes - and to different users, which in fact would make you even more experienced - why not think seriously about going into business reseller hosting?
Business reseller hosting is a promising enterprise. Small entrepreneurs with traditional marketing backgrounds are still learning about the virtues of advertising on the Internet. Steadily, the pervasive power of Internet advertising is making more sense to conventional business owners who offer various services and products, from home crafts to back-office services.
There are different kinds of reseller accounts, and the nature of most of them depends on the covenant you arrive at with your chosen web host. Perhaps you'd simply like to be a web space marketer, in which case you can contact your target webhost and reach an arrangement regarding marketing scope and commission rates. Or perhaps you'd like to become a redistributor of shared space - that is, you buy a large amount of web space from an established web host, then sell off smaller parts of the web space to interested parties.
In fact resellers who opt for the latter method are in demand among small and medium business owners. Resold web space could be much cheaper and more practical than if it was bought directly from a web host.
Another strong point of resellers, ideally, is that they are easy to get to - so that if there are any emergency fixups or upgrades that need to be done, the resellers are always at hand. So if you've had experience as a web developer or network administrator, it would be a great way to make money on the side. Some individuals who resell web space find themselves short-handed when they need to reply to queries and fix massive scripting errors. But if you're already an expert on troubleshooting web accounts, you'll be more ready for anything!
