Reseller hosting allows you to purchase server resources from a hosting company and resell them to your own customers as a hosting provider. It's the foundation of many successful web hosting businesses.
How Reseller Hosting Works
You purchase a reseller hosting account from a provider. This gives you a large allocation of disk space, bandwidth, and the ability to create individual hosting accounts. You then sell these accounts to your customers under your own brand name.
