Web Hosting Business

Reseller web hosting is an attractive business to get into because it offers the opportunity to generate truly excellent profits and also there are plenty of routes to get into the market which are suitable for all levels of skill and experience. It is also possible to get into this business with any amount of money to invest, including being able to do it all for free with absolutely no capital investment at all. In fact, I would actually advise anyone thinking of doing this who is a complete newbie to making money from reseller hosting to start off small with minimal investment.

Personally I started off by using a white label website solution and a free reseller hosting plan. That meant I paid nothing at all, and even got a website provided for me to make the sales through. It came with a control panel so that I could do a bit of basic editing and customizing my site, as well as putting together the actual hosting packages and setting the prices and so on.

The main way that I started off promoting the products that I put together through this white label venture was to add links and banners which I made to a few other sites which I control. I then also started writing articles about various topics relating to web hosting so that I could build links to my site.

I found that business was very slow to start off with. I was nearly a year after I first started out that I really started to make any significant amount of money. I am now 18 months in though and I am starting to get there with a good income each month. I think this really is something where you have to look at things over the long term and not expect to get quick gains.

You also have to be creative with the way that you market your business as well. This is a very crowded marketplace with lots of strong competition. That means that if you want to get free search engine traffic you have to put in lots of time researching the right niche and aim for smaller niches as well. That doesn't matter, though, because it is worth the effort and with many clients staying with you for years, paying you money each month or each year, there is potential quite a lot of profit from just one new client.
