Reseller Program Domain Hosting Defined

The term Reseller in accordance to the dictionary means to sell again i.e. to sell a product or service to the public or to an end user, especially as an authorized dealer, while making sure that you make a profit on the sale. Reseller hosting is no different either, a reseller buys a web hosting package from a hosting company and tries to sell it by yourself. The earnings for the reseller lies in either the discount or in the commission she/he gets from selling an account. For example: The reseller might acquire a package whose features are valued at $100 for $90. So, the reseller stands to make a $10 gain on selling the package to customers. Usually as the consumers increase, so does the profit margin for the reseller. Or, you can get some money by earning commissions from a hosting company. This happens when you pass on potential customers to the hosting company. If the customer signs up with the business then you earn a small recurring commission until the customer stops using the services.
