What is reseller hosting?

Reseller hosting lets you sell web hosting under your own brand. You buy hosting resources in bulk, divide them into plans, and offer those plans to your own customers, while the underlying servers are managed for you. It is a popular way for web designers, developers and agencies to add a recurring income stream.

How it works

You get a reseller account with a pool of storage and bandwidth, plus WHM (Web Host Manager) to create and manage individual cPanel accounts for your clients. Each client gets their own cPanel login and never sees the provider behind it - the branding, plans and pricing are yours. See our cPanel reseller hosting plans.

Who reseller hosting suits

• Web designers and agencies who want to host the sites they build and bill for it monthly.
• Freelancers looking for recurring revenue alongside project work.
• Anyone who wants to start a hosting business without buying and maintaining servers.

What to look for

• White-label control, so your brand is what clients see.
• WHM plus cPanel, the tools most clients already expect.
• Fast NVMe storage, free SSL and reliable backups you can pass on as selling points.
• Room to upgrade as you sign up more clients.

Reseller or your own server?

Reseller hosting is the low-risk way to start: the provider handles server maintenance, so you focus on clients. If you grow large enough to want full control, you can move up to a VPS or a dedicated server later. New to the basics? Read what is web hosting.
