What is reseller hosting?
Reseller hosting is where businesses sell website space to other businesses or individuals. The website reseller will buy a large amount of server storage space and bandwidth from a provider with data centres, like ourselves. This will be at a reduced 'wholesale' rate, so that they're able to make a profit. They will sell this on as a package, including email.
With reseller hosting you become a hosting provider
Effectively, the reseller becomes the hosting provider to the third party. Your customers buy their hosting from you and you are their first point of call.
White-label reseller hosting
The resellers create the hosting packages and set the prices. They use white-label reseller hosting to sell web hosting under their own brand. Companies like 20i offer their Resellers the option of re-branding control panels, URLs, logos and more.
Control panel for your customers
Resellers will often become responsible for much of the administration of the business or individual's website. However, they may provide their customers with a control panel to make changes themselves. For example, our control panel for customers of 20i Resellers is called StackCP. This is its default name; it can be rebranded by the Reseller.
