There are many ways to make money online, such as blogging, website flipping and affiliate marketing. Web host reselling can also become one of your online businesses and source of passive income, in addition to your blogging, web design, web development and other services on the Internet. This kind of online entrepreneurship can also be started with small capital and can be done at your home. Here are the things and tips you should learn to earn money online by becoming a web hosting reseller:
What is web hosting?
To make a website running online 24/7, it must reside on a server space or web host. Just like when you want to set up an office or a store, you need to rent or have your own space, which can be a commercial building or a room space. A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their own website accessible via the Internet. The host may also provide an interface or control panel for managing the Web server and installing scripts as well as other services like e-mail. Usually web hosting fees are paid on monthly basis, and may be discounted if paid in advance for one year or more. Web hosting packages vary from the sizes of disk space and bandwidth.

How to earn profit from reselling web hosting?
This is the most exciting part, how will you earn as a website reseller? Suppose you have purchased the $24.94 monthly reseller plan package, with 50,000 MB disk space and 500 GB bandwidth. Here, you can divide your acquired package into 50 packages, with 1,000 MB and 10GB bandwidth each. You can sell each package for $5, having a potential $250 bucks if you can sell all the 50 divided packages to clients. That’s a revenue of $250 per month, less your monthly web hosting bill of $24.95 and other expenses, such as maintaining your own webhosting domain portal or website for promoting and accommodating clients online. To maximize your profit, you can integrate web host reselling to your related services, such as website design, web development, domain name registration and other related online services.
Reselling web hosting space and bandwidth can be one of the best online and home-based businesses you can try with a small starting capital. And if you are determined to succeed in this venture, you can always infuse your regular profit into additional investments to purchase more space and bandwidth… until your business expands. So what are you waiting for, why don’t you give it a try?

Thanks for visiting Louie. This blog is also new, though I am not a new blogger. I’ve been blogging for more than 5 years now. BTW, our comment policy doesn’t allow link in the comment, since your page is already linked to your name.
I agree with Louie. your site is indeed worth-learning. I hope you will keep updating this!
Thanks Alleinne. Will surely keep on updating this site.
Hi Vic, I’m planning on putting up a web hosting business but I’m still uncertain about the market here in the Philippines. Do you have any idea how many clients a startup web hosting business gets on its first year of operation? Thanks!
Hi. It will still depend on the size of your company or resources. Currently, I’m only integrating web host reselling on my website development services, and not making it full time. I know a lot of web hosting companies here in the Philippines. Just search it on Google and you will find them. For first year of operations, you’ve got to do extensive marketing to get clients.
