Best Cheap Web Hosting

By Chris Danks

In the digital era where the internet has revolutionized every industry, it's also created an abundance of job roles and career paths that simply did not exist in years gone by. A perfect example of this is becoming a web hosting reseller, which is a lot less complicated than you might think.

These days, everyone and their dog has a website - and to have your own website, you'll require web hosting services, unless your website is hosted via a blogging site like WordPress. So, with such a high demand for a service that's essential in the modern world, a website hosting reseller business has the potential to be a very lucrative venture.

With a bit of time and effort spent, reseller hosting could prove to be an ideal way of making sure you have a profitable start to the New Year. Here's some pointers to get you started.

Do Some Research

Before you can hope to become successful or even just establish yourself as a web hosting reseller, you'll need to start off by doing some research on website hosting, domain services and email management.

The right amount of research in these areas will not only help you to fully understand web hosting better as an industry, but your new-found knowledge will help you to be a more efficient and helpful business owner.

It's common for people in web-based sectors like web design and blogging to make the transition into reselling because of their previous knowledge and familiarity with the concept of website hosting.

Find a Reliable, Established Web Hosting Provider

Your first task is to find a decent web hosting company to purchase a reseller hosting package from. There are an abundance of website hosting providers to choose from, so it's wise to take your time and find one that will offer you a high-quality service for a fair price.

Finding the best reseller hosting for the job is a vital decision and one that shouldn't be rushed. By purchasing reseller hosting packages from a reliable and experienced company, it means you'll be providing your customers with a service that's of a much higher quality. 

Just as in any other form of business, your company will be judged by the service you provide. By making sure that your reseller hosting package is top notch, it will give potential clients incentive to buy from you, as well as reflect that same level of excellence when they compare your company to your competitors. 

Choose a Reseller Hosting Package to Suit Your Needs

While you're in the process of getting your hosting reseller business off the ground, it's important not to bleed out the funds you've set aside. So before you go gung-ho into purchasing a package that's too expensive and way more advanced than what you require, stop and have a think, then find something more suitable to your needs.

In regards to price, reseller hosting packages vary and will increase in cost, depending on how many domains you need, disk space, and the bandwidth you'll have available to you. Fortunately, the latter is less of an issue these days, because of the how far modern tech has come, so most quality web hosts will offer you unlimited bandwidth across the board.

If you're just getting started and have limited funds to spare, you'll want to start off with a lower price package and get something more advanced when business is booming. Before you buy anything, it's essential to make sure you'll be getting 100% of the sales you make, as some companies will take a percentage, which isn't great for a small business. 

Design an Awesome Website to Sell Your Service

To be a success in the modern business world, you need a website - and with a such a huge amount of small businesses and web-based ventures out there, creating a strong website should be at the top of your priority list.

As a web-based company selling a web-based service, it's a no-brainer that you'll need a website to sell your product. eCommerce is a $1.915 trillion industry that began in the 90s and has since continued to make every-day purchasing nothing more than a click of a button. This popularity for online sales is exactly why you need your website to be of the highest quality.

Your site is much more than a place where customers will buy your service; it's a representation of your brand and a reflection of the quality people can expect from your company. If it's unengaging, unprofessional, or not very user-friendly, you'll be sending potential customers straight to your competitors.

Stand Out from the Crowd

Making your business unique and appealing has always been a crucial element of success. With the introduction of the internet and the sheer number of companies it's created, the need to stand out from the crowd has never been so important.

The way you market yourself as a brand will help to build up a loyal customer base. Whereas in years gone by, when companies would rely on a big marketing budget if they were to have any chance of success, these days, you can use social media to reach out to customers all over the world for free. This is perfect for small businesses who lack the buckets of cash of bigger organisations.

Although it's vital to separate yourself from the pack of other web hosting resellers, it's never a bad idea to see what they're up to. If they are succeeding where you aren't, find out why. A bit of small business espionage is an ideal way to make necessary improvements.

Online ventures such as reseller web hosting can prove to be a lucrative enterprise, especially if you've taken it on as a secondary income to coincide with another form of web-based career, such as web design or blogging. With the right amount of time taken to find the best reseller hosting package possible, the effort to get to know the industry and set up a website, and some starter capital to get the ball rolling, your web hosting reseller business will set you up for a profitable 2017.
