Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Reseller Hosting : Reseller plan - With a twist

[R-Anderson]

Hey everyone. I’m going to assume that this is in the correct section and ask my question away, it may take a little time to get my point across, as the idea seems strange to everyone I ask, but hopefully you will understand.

I am looking for a host willing of offer me a reseller plan where I sell YOUR hosting. (I add X amount of money onto the price and keep the profits that I make on your base rates, therefore you get more profits from sales and I get some profits buy helping you out). Is this even possible? I’ve seen the website resellerspanel.com but when you make a plan they are not visible on your main page and they can only be paid for yearly. So really what I’m looking for is a host willing to do this and who also has good prices on there hosting packages and domains.

I hope you understand me

I believe you will be hard pressed to find a host that wouldn't allow this. Contact your prospective reseller providers and ask them, I'm sure you will be in luck.

So you want them to sign up through your website and then you buy a plan at the main host? The only thing I could see going wrong is the verification of orders.

Just wondered if you had thought of an affiliate program?

[Shaw Networks]

Do you want to have your own hosting website that pipes orders through to the main company or do you want to earn money by making referrals?

[HasGreatDane]

This is definitely possible and a lot of companies offer this option. You might want to make sure that you sign up with a reputable one because you'll completely depend on them - if they mess up something, your customers will blame you. One link you could be interested in is allmanaged: http://allmanaged.com/affiliate/

Good luck.

Why don't you log on to cj.com and check out hosting affiliate programmes... You can earn good selling their hosting.. Though you won't have your brand name

Thanks all.

If I get you correctly then I believe that GoDaddy.com and ResellerClub.com will do what you are looking for. ResellerClub is new and not quite started yet. It is a subsidary of DirectI (Name Registrar). Their website will explain how they work.

I hope this helps!
