Becoming a web hosting reseller can be a profitable way to earn residual income. Owning a hosting business allows you to set up, manage, and operate the backend of websites, emails, and domain management for your company and others as well. Things you will need to start a good hosting company are as follows:
- Reseller Hosting (Or) a VPS server.
- A good website design.
- Billing Software like WHMCS.
- A good payment gateway like Paypal, 2Checkout, etc.
Getting Started with Hosting Business:
First of all, you will need a reseller hosting or VPS to create your hosting products. Our company offers greats plans on SSD reseller hosting and the OpenVZ VPS server to help you run your business smoothly.
Then you will need a good frontend design to attract customers. Make sure, that your website is attractive so that people can trust your hosting. If your website is not up to the mark, then people will think twice times before making an order on your website. The first impression is the last, so make sure you make a good first impression on your visitors.
The second most important thing is Good Billing Software. We, prefer WHMCS, which is an all-in-one client management, billing & support solution for online businesses. Handling everything from signup to termination, WHMCS is a powerful automation & support tool. WHMCS costs around $16 per month.
The third yet most important thing is a Good Payment Gateway. There are many payment gateways like Paypal, 2Checkout, CCAvenue, etc. If a client is unable to complete his transaction he will never return to your website. Hence, it is very important to have a good payment solution. (Read: Review: Indian Payment Gateways (2020))
Last, you need to spend a little on SEO or marketing for your business for an initial period of 6 months. Once your company has a good number of clients, you are all set. You need to provide support to your clients whenever possible through Chat or Email.
Web Hosting Business requires a lot of patience, don’t give up if you don’t receive many clients to start. The longer you stay in business, the more clients you will receive in the future.
