Reseller Web Hosting - Resell Web Hosting For Profit

Are you a web developer, systems integrator or web design firm that wishes to include web hosting as an additional service for your customers? A reseller web hosting plan could be perfect for you. It is easy for you to represent your web based business with a more personal touch with a great Reseller Hosting account. Tapping into a niche market that can potentially return 1333% profit to your business, that's right it's not a typo, let me explain how.

Firstly with a Reseller Hosting account you don't need any of the out of pocket costs of setting up server equipment, and you don't need to know a hell of a lot about managing hardware, software or trouble shooting connectivity problems. Most Reseller Hosting account provides support to the Resellers directly to you only; however should you need to seek support on behalf of one of your customers they surely will be able to assist you in doing so. Some providers offer white label support services where they act on your company's behalf to your customers, at additional costs.

Purchasing a Reseller Hosting account on a monthly or yearly base charge allows you to easily and centrally manage multiple web hosting accounts and domains via a web interface control panel such as CPanel/WHM or Plesk. CPanel/WHM or Plesk are well known web control panels for Web Hosting services, however some providers may use a custom system or program. If you have never used these programs, your provider will assist with setting up your initial account and there is a wealth of information and tutorials available for you to get up to speed on the basics. Your Reseller Hosting account should include one single account wide license for the use of the control panel interface to support your customers, be sure to check up on that.

Your reseller web hosting account will have a limited quota for disk space and bandwidth sold to you in bulk, which you can divide into smaller Web Hosting Plans with limits more suited for Business and Personal web hosting as a supplementary business product or service.

For example a Reseller Web Hosting Package of 4000mb Disk Space and 200G Bandwidth divided into 40 Blocks of Web Hosting Plans of - 100mb disk space and 5G bandwidth - based on an estimated monthly cost of $20 per plan; Equals a return of $800 net a month before deducting any Reseller Host Provider charges.

The above is just an example, you set your own limits and pricing structure within the means of your business margins and target. Boosting business productivity and increasing your online marketing and advertising presence is simple if your providers supplies white label branding through the use of generic name servers, host names and private IP's effectively making them un unseen presence to your customer base.

However if and when you outgrow the reseller environment, you can simply upgrade to a Virtual Private Server (VPS), Managed Server or Dedicated Server to further expand your Empire.

The Joy and Benefits of Article Writing and Placing on Article Hosting Websites

A great achievement has been coming to EzineArticles and discovering the world of article writing and marketing, it is certainly a great way for expression as well as allowing individuals the opportunity to write about anything and everything in relation to their life or subjects that they may feel are worthy of thorough investigation, writing an article on and sharing their findings with the rest of the World. I often think that not being a professional writer is an asset here and can make the whole article writing process far more enjoyable. For anyone that feels they have something to share that may be of interest to others article writing is an ideal vehicle to project that message across...

One thing that certainly warrants taking into consideration before writing is that whatever gets accepted and published on sites such as EzineArticles will remain viewable by virtually anybody that has a computer and an Internet connection. Not only that, but your articles will remain viewable forever. That means that it is perfectly plausible that whatever you place on an article hosting website could in fact possibly outlive you.

On top of that your articles could end up being published and displayed on other websites where your subject matter has relevance. The owners of these websites scour the article hosting sites looking for worthy material that they think is worth placing on their own websites.

This in itself is a great way of free marketing, not only for your article, but also for you and anything that you may include in a resource box at the bottom of the articles original location such as the EzineArticles website. The reason behind this is that when a publisher places your article on their website they are duty bound to also link it to the original articles location.

That is the marketing side behind the article writing curtain, but there is so much more to it than meets the eye, for instance on a article hosting program such as EzineArticles there is a facility for visitors to the website to view your profile and from there they can subscribe to receive each article that you produce if they like what you are saying or the style in which you portray your articles.

Search engines adore articles, even more so if it is fresh, interesting, and vibrant content. In other words the better the article the better it will do with search engine results. This is predominately keyword based, but a good well thought out title should get the ball rolling.

On top of that are competitions and forums where great prizes and valuable information is exchanged. Plus, and this is a pretty big plus and one of the main factors that got me involved in article writing myself, other peoples articles, they are a wealth of information and knowledge and believe it or not but you can actually pretty much find out about any given subject of choice simply by searching the article hosting site itself.

Article writing in any sense of the word is as I said at the very beginning of this article a great achievement, but so very rewarding.

Reliable Web Hosting is Crucial For eCommerce Success

Many eCommerce site owners underestimate the importance of having reliable hosting. When the server goes down, several things start to happen at the same time.

1) No sales. - The immediate impact is that no sales can be made while the site is offline. Depending on how long the server stays offline, this has serious implications on your bottom line. But it doesn't stop there.

2) Losing customers. - This is even more costly. You have spent money and resources to acquire customers. Now some of them will think that your eCommerce site is unreliable as it goes offline so often. So they stop buying from you. You may have just lost some of your most important customers.

3) Support emails. - Whenever your site goes offline, customers start to feel anxious. So it's normal for some customers to try sending emails, trying to find out what went wrong. When the server goes online again, you will experience a surge in support emails. You have little choice but to respond those emails. In fact, you should do it as soon as possible so that customers know you care about them. This requires time and effort.

As you can see, unreliable hosting can cost you a lot more money than you know. So even though some hosting packages may cost a little more, that's completely fine if the services are reliable. You avoid having to deal with all the above-mentioned issues. When trust is broke, it's very difficult to mend the relationship.

So how do you go about choosing a reliable hosting provider?

The key ingredients I look for are (1) good support, and (2) good reputation.

Having good support is very important because I want someone to be able to respond to me quickly when something goes wrong. For example, the email server stops responding for some reason. There may be a temporary glitch somewhere. But without having someone to talk to, there is no way I can know for sure. Reliable hosting providers try to provide live chat support. This feature is very useful as anyone can get the assistance they need within minutes.

Reputation is influences my buying decision because you shouldn't believe everything that is written on the service provider's website. For example, every hosting provider says that they offer 99.9% up time guarantee. But from personal experiences, this is not always true. Some smaller service providers have trouble keeping the servers online. When sites go offline, haggling over uptime guarantee becomes immaterial. The damage has already been done. So I would rather sign up with a more reputable service provider. Someone who has been in the business for years, and know how to keep servers online. I highly recommend that you do the same.

The Benefits of Using Colocation For Your Web Hosting

Colocation is a great option for web hosting if you are a growing small business facing greater hosting needs. When you host your server at a colocation facility you will be able to run your sites at greater speeds and with more security. It is not a great option if you are not near a metropolitan area because there will likely be few colocation facilities for you to store your servers at. If cost is a huge issue and you cannot afford to pay more to host your websites than it costs for standard web hosting, then colocation is not likely a good fit. Let me talk about some of the benefits so you'll know if colocation is the right fit for your business.

More and better bandwidth for your money.

If you host your server with a colocation provider, you will be able to run your websites with higher bandwidth speeds, which will come in handy if your websites require a lot of processing or if you host a lot of HD video.

More reliable hosting.

Since colocation facilities exist to host servers, they are equipped to handle power outages and other events that can render a server useless for a short time. Colocation providers make sure to have plenty of backup generator power just in case a power outage does happen so that you aren't left with a bunch of websites that won't load because the server can't run.

More security.

Colocation providers offer added security as well. The facilities are dedicated to servers, so the environment is set up for easy maintenance and optimized for security. If you've been having issues with security or other similar problems with your machines, this may be yet another reason to consider colocation.

The ability to have the colocation facility manage your servers.

Your colocation facility may have the ability to manage your servers if you so require. This could add convenience if you do not have anyone with an IT background on staff who is readily available to upgrade or maintain your servers. Of course, this service will come at an extra cost, but this option might add the hassle-free aspect of high bandwidth server hosting that you require in your colocation facility.

You own the server and the software.

You can go into your colocation provider at any time during it's operating hours so that you can upgrade your servers with new software or do anything else that's needed.

Is colocation right for you?

You should pursue colocation as a hosting option for your business if:

1.You need more secure servers.
2.You need to be able to own your own servers and physically access them for upgrades and maintenance, etc.
3.You are looking for more reliability.
4.You are looking for more bandwidth.

When you host your server at a colocation provider, you get most of the features of having a large IT department, but at a fraction of the cost. For small companies that are expanding in their hosting needs but working within a limited budget, using a colocation service may be the best solution.

1and1 Hosting - Raising the Bar!

First, I have to admit. I'm a terrible customer. I'm a demanding perfectionist who rarely feels that he is getting his money's worth. This is especially true of hosting providers. In the past four years, I've had to change providers at least six times because I felt that I was not getting what I paid for. This brief commentary is somewhat of a treat for me as I finally get to say something good about a hosting provider!

A little over two years ago I was reading up on the latest technologies in one of my favorite publications, eWeek, when I ran across a nice, full-page ad from 1and1 offering an introductory offer of free hosting for three years. Wait! What! No way! This has got to be too good to be true! Off to the trusty computer I go...

Sure enough, it was the real deal. 1and1 was indeed offering free web hosting for three years to introduce its new public sector hosting service. Well, like any good cash-strapped college student, I stepped right up and got me a piece of the pie. I've got to say, the pie was good too!

After roughly two years of hosting with 1and1, with minimal problems I should say, I started to notice that I was getting dangerously close to the bandwidth allowance my free package had to offer. No big surprise there; these things happen when you're trying to establish an online presence and you offer free downloads. It was time to upgrade my hosting.

At the time, there were no great specials going on at 1and1 so I decided to shop around. That was a tremendous mistake! What I got was a course in how *not* to run a hosting service. I will be polite, this time, and not name and companies, but let's just say stay away from cheap reseller hosting accounts! The uptime is nowhere near what they promise and every time you turn around some idiot is running a script that bogs the server down to a crawl.

After a couple months, a chunk of wasted cash, and several moves back and forth between providers, I finally conceded that 1and1 was indeed the best host I had come across thus far. As luck would have it, I had received an email from 1and1 announcing a great promotion for their free preview package holders (obvious marketing trick, but good timing in my situation). They were offering their top shared Linux package for half the price. Ok, that sounds like a good deal, and it was, but what about next year? Well, this is where it gets even better. Not only did I get the package at half price, but they guaranteed that price for three years with free upgrades!

I might not be the brightest light bulb in the box, but I know a good deal when I see one. So, as I'm sure you've already figured out, I signed up. What I got was a whole lot more than what I bargained for, and honestly, could have hoped for. Almost instantly after upgrading, I noticed that my sites were running faster. I'm assuming that paid customers are placed on less crowded servers.

Then, the first upgrade came. My space and bandwidth were doubled at no extra charge. I thought to myself, cool, I'll take it! A couple weeks later, I was browsing the 1and1 site comparing features for a potential client when I noticed that the package I have had been bumped to ridiculously high levels. Even though I was getting my money's worth at the time, I felt a little bitter that I wasn't getting the full package spec. After all, I was promised that I would get every package upgrade.

Just like any other nightmare client, I promptly dialed billing to give them a piece of my mind. Apparently, the billing agent was no stranger to difficult clients like me. Within a few minutes of talking to me, he got me defused and assured me that my package would be brought up to spec within four weeks. That was two weeks ago. He explained that it was taking more time than expected to upgrade all their current accounts to the new account specs. He really surprised me when he said that I'd actually be getting more than what was currently listed on the site. What?! Ok then! Thank you for your time! Needless to say, I was left feeling very positive about that support call.

Here's where we get into the numbers... When I logged into my account today, I was greeted by some very generous numbers for the package I have. I discovered that I now have 30,000MB of storage and 1,500 GB of transfer on a shared hosting account that normally runs $19.99/mo! Wait! That can't be right! Those are VPS specs! Yup, you read right. 30GB of storage and 1.5TB of transfer for under $20/mo. PLUS, with 1and1, I only pay $5.99 per domain, per year.

Now, let's be real here. Those numbers are great and all, but other providers offer similar specs. What sets 1and1 apart? For starters, uptime! With every other host I've used, uptime was a major issue. This is not so with 1and1. I can count on one hand how many times in the past two years my site was not available and nearly every time it was related to an ISP router, not 1and1! Also, one of the things I've really grown to appreciate is their one-of-a-kind control panel. It's a little slow, but it more than makes up for it in streamlined administration. This is especially true of the domain administration. Even complete n00bs have no problem navigating the 1and1 control panel and managing their package like a pro.

Again, I'm not the easiest person in the world to impress, especially when it comes to hosting providers. Nevertheless, 1and1 has really raised the bar of what a good hosting provider is in my mind. They are now the benchmark by which I will measure all hosting providers. If you are in the market for a good, reliable, affordable hosting provider, I cannot say enough positive about 1and1.

There is only one negative I've found with 1and1 and it's not even really a negative. They're a bit restrictive on script execution. If you think about it, in a shared hosting environment, this is a good thing, and this also explains why the only time I've noticed the server actually being down was during a scheduled hardware upgrade. Now, who's going to complain about a free upgrade in performance?

If you would like more information on 1and1 and the packages they offer, I encourage you to visit their site. Just as a point of reference, I'm running on the Developer Package. I think you'll find that it's a more than adequate package for moderate to heavy traffic sites.

What Features Represent a Great Web Hosting Provider?

Don't just think that putting up a website online is easy. You have to find a top web hosting provider that knows this business and can assure you that your up-time will be around 99%. This isn't easy to accomplish, but there are hosting companies online who has proven to be reliable.

If you refer to a web hosts most of the time it will be someone whom you are hosting your websites with. For many newbies this is a daunting task because they are not known online and don't know what it takes to spot a great web hosting provider. The way I began was much easier, because I had a mentor and he guided me and told me exactly which host to go with.

The first thing he told me to look for is: "Customer service" - A web host who has a team available 24 hours a day is one that you can count on. If that wasn't good enough, here is what happened to me. I got my hosting account all set-up. Start building my site, and then needed to create a temporary ftp login. Did all that, got the tech to fix some issues I had and then I went to delete that temp login. I hit the wrong button and my site was wiped out. Gone!

I contacted their 24 hour service, and they told me to send an email explaining what happened, and in no time flat my site was back up.

It pays to go with a more expensive web hosting provider, the cheaper companies don't have this type of service. Cheap affordable hosting isn't always the best way to go.

The next feature that he mentioned is: Reliability - You need a host who you can trust. Don't go with no web host who hasn't been around for more than five years. Many new web hosting providers don't have their own servers. They share a service with other companies. So they rely on that company to restore their problem for the. The longer a company been around the bigger the chance that they have their own servers.

Last but not least: Price - I used this as a motive in the beginning, but I have seen that price should not be the limiting factor. You can get hosting from just $4 up to any limit you wish. Choose wisely, and stick with a host for long term, it is much wiser to pay a little more than to build your business on a penny platform.

Free Website Hosting

With the Internet becoming a tool not only to make business but also to put across a point of view, it is becoming necessary for almost everyone to make their website. While big businesses and institutes will have the wherewithal to make a website and run it, smaller companies and individuals may not have the technical expertise or financial resources to make a website.

The two requirements to make a website are a domain name and website hosting. The more expensive of these two is website hosting, because it is something that you pay every month, while you book the domain name and have to upgrade the subscription every year. Because of the heavy website hosting charges, most individuals like freelancers, consultants, and other people on a tight budget do not create their websites. However, with free website hosting, it is now simple and easy to make your website and that too for free.

What is Free Website Hosting?

As the name suggests, free website hosting is a feature in which you get free webspace and a sub domain on a server. For example, if the main server is 'freewebhosting', and you wish to get free website hosting through the site with the name 'Iwantodance', your website would be iwanttodance.freewebhosting.com.

This is an excellent feature for people who wish to test the waters of the Internet without risking the big bucks that one would have to pay for booking the domain name and ordering for the monthly web hosting plan. Most free web hosting plans offer unlimited bandwidth, which means that you can upload as much data as you want - be it videos, photos, documents, etc. Of course, how accessible your site will be depends on how strong the server on which you have your site is.

Is Free Website Hosting for Me?

Free web hosting is for anyone who wishes to try out making websites and find out whether it is their cup of tea or not. However, free web hosting may not offer the kind of control and administration aspects that one might get if they buy web hosting and domain name. Therefore, you should find out what kind of administration privileges you would want and only then opt in for a free web hosting plan.

Who can benefit from Free Web Hosting?

Nonprofit organizations, charitable institutions, new webmasters, website amateurs, voluntary organizations can benefit from free web hosting, simply because they require a website for connecting and interacting with people, with monetization a secondary aspect of the site. Also, it is not necessary that these institutions and individuals may have the required resources for running a complete website, so there are chances that paying for a domain name or hosting may be a waste. Therefore, these individuals and organizations can benefit from the free web hosting plans.

This is some general information about free webhosting. If you are looking for a free webhost, make sure that you carry out the proper research before signing up with them.
