One of the most attractive aspects of reseller web hosting as a means to make a living is the sheer simplicity in which you can begin to offer your services to your customers. It is so easy in fact, that you may be pleasantly surprised upon receiving your first payment check after so little effort on your part.
Of course this is not to say that as a reseller, you can lie back and take it easy just waiting for the checks to come rolling in at the end of every month. However much of your day to day efforts will be focused on attracting--and subsequently building--a healthy client base of hopefully satisfied customers as opposed to any technical support, system upgrade or maintenance tasks.
Why is this so, you may ask? Well, the bulk of all of these tedious-although highly necessary--chores will fall squarely upon the shoulders of the primary host that you will be signing up with. They will in fact be the only entity in this partnership that is in possession of all the various computer servers and networking equipment necessary for the implementation of the various hosting services. They will also be in charge of hiring and employing a staff of highly qualified I.T. personnel to run this vast array of hosting machinery as well as the physical premises (typically an office or a building) that this whole network will be housed in.
If this sounds like a great deal for you--considering that you do not have to spend for any of this at all--well it is! Congratulations, you don't have to break that piggybank and dip into the savings that you have lovingly stashed away from all of those years of babysitting or mowing lawns! The question that crops up now however is "What exactly then is my role as a reseller and how do I start to make the big bucks?"
To answer that, let us compare the reseller to a small-scale grocer or fruit stand proprietor. Chances are, they are not actually involved in the process of planting, raising and harvesting the produce themselves. More likely, they merely purchase these products in large volumes from a much bigger produce supplier. Their primary role is then to make these various products available to the general buying public. The wholesale distributors have no interest in dealing with the end customer on an individual basis; they have instead focused their efforts into providing produce by bulk for these smaller merchants to resell. To go back to web hosting, the primary web hosting service provider is also not interested in selling smaller hosting packages, they would much rather deal in bulk and leave the "retailing" of the smaller accounts in the hands of the resellers. This works out nicely for everyone concerned as the primary web host can then focus on maintaining the hosting servers and the resellers can make a profit from each customer that signs up.
