Website Hosting is big business. Are you interested in how to start a website hosting business of your own? If you aren’t familiar with it, it’s basically hosting the files that make up a website. For example, this site is hosted by Hostgator – one of the larger hosting companies.
The large website hosting companies allow anyone to rent some disk space from them and sell it in segments to other website owners. For example, you might be able to rent 20 Gb of disk space of a Hostgator server and sell 2Gb each to 8 other people.
If you charge each one just $10 a month while paying less than $25 for the space you rent, you are both more than tripling your money and getting 4 Gb of disk space free. As a bonus you also have both WHM reseller and cpanel back ends for extra control over your own disk space.
Furthermore, the possibilities are endless. You aren’t tied to your hosting reseller – you own your own business and so can use whoever you like to host everyone’s files. If you grow to over 100 customers you would certainly want to rent a VPS or virtual private server. They can be had for well under $100 a month.
If you grow to over 1000 customers you might look at buying your own server but having it housed and managed by one of the large hosting companies. This arrangement is sometimes called shared location serving.
If you would like to start your own Website Hosting Business, you can start by getting an Aluminium reseller account from Hostgator for less than $25 a month. That gives you plenty of space to start off – and they handle the support so you don’t need to have the technical knowledge.
You can then have them tie the business owner’s back end to your website. It’s called WHM reseller or WHMCS – Website Hosting Management Complete Solution. It has full functionality for billing your customers and assigning them disk space.
If you are just hosting websites for small businesses you will be surprised at how many sites you can host on this package. The markup is very rewarding.
Another advantage to hosting other peoples websites is the opportunity to sell them other services. It’s common to be asked to develop a website for an existing customer or to optimise their site for search engine results. It doesn’t matter if you don’t wish to do the technical work yourself, it can always be outsourced.
