Powerful multisite reseller hosting for agencies, designers & IT firms.

Reseller hosting offers you the opportunity to set up your own web hosting business, design firm, agency or IT company— all under your own brand name. When you sign up for a reseller hosting account, you purchase an amount of disk space and bandwidth, which you may then divvy up and 'resell' to your own clients. You choose the account limits, space, and price you want to offer your clients – in other words, you're in control!

Reseller hosting offers a number of benefits. If you are a web developer, you can host all of your own websites under one reseller account. You can sell web hosting services to your own client base. You can give web hosting accounts away to friends and family. A reseller account works in a number of different scenarios. With reseller hosting, you really can operate a web hosting business without investing in expensive infrastructure, servers, bandwidth, and IT staff. It's a great way to make a profit with relatively little risk or financial outlay!

While you do not need to be a web hosting expert, having some basic knowledge of terms and procedures will definitely be an asset. Most resellers are web hosting customers first, and that experience generally provides enough knowledge to get started. HostPapa does provide excellent technical support to resellers, and we'll help you get set up.

As a reseller, you will be the first point of contact for your clients and will provide support for them. Make sure you are comfortable with this arrangement. (See question 7 for more on your responsibilities as a reseller.)

After you select and purchase your reseller account, you will have access to Web Host Manager (WHM), which is your centralized reseller control panel. Through this interface, you will be able to easily create and manage packages for your clients.

Your clients will have access to a cPanel user control panel of their own, through which they can create and maintain their own websites and email.

HostPapa provides all resellers with an excellent startup guide, which will walk you through the steps involved in setting up your account. And our PapaSquad support team is here for you 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

All reseller hosting accounts come with two separate control panels:
1. The Reseller’s Web Host Manager (WHM) which allows you to create and manage your client accounts;
2. Your client’s cPanel which allows them to create and/or manage their websites and email with ease.

Through WHM, it is quite simple to manage and create various subaccounts. You'll be able to:

• Setup cPanel for each of your clients
• Limit a client’s disk space and/or bandwidth
• Email all your reseller clients
• Change users' passwords
• Check server statuses
• Access your billing software
• Use domain sub-reseller account

Your clients will be responsible for setting up their websites and email and for managing their own accounts, which they may do through their cPanel control panel. cPanel will let them create and manage their websites and email accounts without needing your assistance.

You can host an unlimited number of domains, for as many clients as you'd like. The only limitation comes from the amount of disk space and bandwidth you have purchased with your reseller account. Individual account sizes and limits will be up to you to manage. If you need more space or bandwidth at any time, simply contact us to upgrade your account.
