If you are trying to decide which website hosting company to use you know how difficult it is to do. One of the options that keeps popping up is Reseller Hosting.

Reseller hosting plans offer clients the possibility of cutting up their bandwidth and storage space into smaller chunks and selling it to their own clients. These type of hosting plans have extra bandwidth and storage to make reselling possible. In some cases the storage and bandwidth is actually advertised as unlimited.

This is actually the main feature that makes these plans attractive, having such large amounts of available bandwidth, storage and website addresses linked to your hosting plan. With these plans you can have hundreds of websites linked to your main account from which you can manage your website empire.

The main features these plans offer that normal shared hosting plans don't are a) a larger bandwidth, b) more space on the server, and c) unlimited web addresses linked to the hosting plan. In fact in some cases you can get unlimited bandwidth and storage space. This means you could sell unlimited hosting plans to other which could be end up becoming a business for you. Of course, this is easier said than done, and hosting companies know this. They know that reselling hosting plans is difficult and that most people don't sell more than a few hosting plans, if any at all.

The best features of reseller hosting accounts are the huge bandwidth and storage space they come with. This allows you to cut it up into smaller chunks and sell it as needed to your clients. This is particularly good for web developers of self contained smaller websites that are not going to grow, and only require a small amount of space. You will probably be surprised about how cheap these programs are. This is because hosting companies don't actually expect you to sell that many so they are not worried about the effect it will have on their resources.

There are however some points to keep in mind when buying these plans. The first is that not all hosting provides give you a dedicated server. In fact none of them will provide you with a dedicated server unless you specifically ask for it and pay for it. This means that if you are very successful you could easily overload the hosting servers. If you are seriously considering reselling as a business it would be a good idea to make sure your requirements are met by the server's capabilities.

A second issue is the meaning of unlimited, some companies use the rather loose definition of "very large" when they say "unlimited". This comes as a surprise to resellers that realize their servers are overloaded and their unlimited space was not even a few Gigabytes. Again, the best option of you are considering Reseller Hosting, which can be a great option for serious users, is to have an honest communication with your hosting provider.
