A web hosting reseller is a person or business entity which chooses to lease server space from a larger Web Hosting company and then resells that space in smaller pieces to his or her clients.Typically web hosting resellers have more control over the accounts than a normal web hosting customer would have. Such as the ability to create multiple domains with separate Cpanel interfaces for each of his/her customers.

How Much Money Can I Make As A Web Hosting Reseller?
This depends on many factors, and we will visit a few of them here. The most important factor is how much money you can charge your customers versus what you pay for your reseller account.

He buys our smallest hosting plan at $30 and sells hosting to his 10 customers for $9.95 per month. Let's do the math!
