In the last few years reselling has become a very popular way for people to get themselves into the Web Hosting Business. Many people use reseller accounts to kickstart their business.

Reselling provides a cost effective way to start your own company without the high cost outlays of doings things yourself. Theres no need for capital expenditure on hardware, software, utilities etc, you simply buy a package from a reseller and can then re-brand their service to make it your own and on-sell to your customers.

Some people also buy reseller plans for the extra disk and traffic they offer and never resell it to other customers, the choice is yours how you decide to use your plan.

If you do decide to resell then you must be prepared to take on the added responsibility that comes with it. This means being able to provide your customers a professional level of support and have sufficient technical knowledge at your disposal to be able to assist your customers. In the reseller relationship Kiwihosting still provides support to the reseller, but not to the resellers customers.

You will also need to consider things like billing & invoicing your customers, you'll need some cost effective way to receive funds. Our reseller control panel HELM provides interfaces to several payment gateways. Two of the more popular ones are PayPal and 2Checkout.com
