Hosting reseller: how to find a reliable one and why is it more profitable for a user?

The view from the client

The reseller business is simple and complex at the same time. It does not require serious investments, even a schoolboy or student, having borrowed $ 10-20 from his dad, can open a reseller account with the server owner or a large hosting company and the next day (if he is lucky) sell 2-3 client accounts to his classmates. A week later - a few more, and already return your money, and if you try and earn a few bucks.

The above picture is not always so smooth and cloudless, for:

A schoolchild (of which there are many among beginner resellers) does not always have a minimum of knowledge to provide at least some support to his clients, and if more complex questions arise, the client has to wait for days until this unfortunate reseller finds out the answer somewhere and will answer you.

With such an organization of business, it is difficult to expect that a person is at the computer inextricably, and that the solution to your questions is the # 1 priority of your reseller. The degree of responsibility is appropriate. And it’s just that this activity may bother your reseller ...

So, despite the benefits of the usual low cost of such accounts, often the problems outweigh the benefits.

Buying a domain and creating a site according to the template does not require much time and cost, and simpletons willing to immediately pay in advance for six months or a year for a very cheap hosting are still enough on the Internet. Yes, and it seems that their number is not going to decrease, and given the mass of hosting as a type of service and the simplicity of creating accounts on Webmoney, fraud will live a long time!

While there are people who do not want to at least check the time of initial registration of the domain of their future hoster and collect reviews about it on online forums and reviews before paying.

For you as a customer, such a reseller is always preferable.

Why? Everything is very simple:

1. Having several sites for quite some time, the future reseller has accumulated quite a lot of experience with hosters, knows how to host, and tried at least a few of them.

2. When choosing a hosting, the emphasis was not only on the minimum price (do not forget - the reseller has its own sites), which means that a better hosting was chosen for the reseller account, most often from the ones already used and verified in their own hard way ..

3. Having experience makes it possible to answer customer questions much faster and in more detail, dramatically improves the quality of support, the attitude of the reseller towards customers is more like relations with younger colleagues, which makes your existence more comfortable, because large companies with thousands of customers are not able to provide this .

4. Problems with the disappearance of your reseller with all the ensuing consequences for the finances and data of your site are much less likely - do not forget that the reseller hosting has its own sites, often more significant and serious than your own.
