Hosting Resellers can make money, but is the Headache worth it?

On a previous post I exposed Hostgator’s best selling hosting package, and we’ve also talked about how to become a hosting reseller.

But we never talked about the responsibilities that come when you become a fully functional webhosting company.

First off, how much do you know about hosting?

Do you understand DNS? Namerservers? Registrar?

If you’re handling emails, do you know what an MX-Record is or even what your POP3 address looks like?

Second – think about how angry you’d feel if your website went blank for an hour – or a day – or 2 days.

Or if you couldn’t send or receive emails for the same time period – how much money would your company lose?

Before I had signed up for Hostgator, my company experienced some server breakdowns that made me REALLY lose control, to the point that if I was able to get my hands on any of tech support people, I’d be in jail by now.

Can you imagine being in that position?

So, do you really need to be a hosting reseller?

If you want to make money selling hosting packages, your best option is to become an affiliate.

This blog has affiliate links to Hostgator because they offer the best hosting solutions today. But I’d NOT want to be reselling Hostgator packages – because I wouldnt be able to provide the technical excellency I’d expect out of my hosting company.

If you’re a free lance webdesigner, or you handle client’s accounts, you dont need to set up shop as a full hosting server – simply direct them to Hostgator, and collect your commission. Hostgator pays up to $125 per sale, up front!

This way, you save your time and energy by letting their support team take all that heat – after all, they’re more than well trained at it.

Sign up for Hostgator now, forget about hosting headaches, and start making money today!
