7 BEST Reseller Hosting Plans! Build Your Passive Income Hosting Business

for the best reseller hosting packages available right now let's find out [Music] what's up everybody it's david webster cravepro.com so reseller hosting is actually something i haven't really talked too much about on this channel and i want to lead off this topic by creating a really helpful video on the best reseller hosting packages that you can purchase right now now what reseller hosting is it's just a form of web hosting that a lot of different web hosts offer whereas if you purchase a package then you get a bunch of resources and then you're able to resell those resources to your own clients under your own brand if that makes sense so instead of being like an affiliate for boo hoes and godaddy and getting that one-time payment that one-time commission you're actually able to kind of functionally build your own little mini web hosting company and capture your own clients and get and build that recursive income over time for yourself so reseller hosting does have a few quirks as a few specific things that you really need to know and you really need to pay attention to when making a purchase decision and that's what i'm going to help you with in this video so if you're ready let's jump into my laptop and begin number one is namehero.com so honestly name heroes number one because i personally think that they have some of the best reseller hosting packages around i appreciate the attention to detail where they go into like just a lot of detail about what you specifically get because later on the video you're going to see a lot of reseller hosting packages where they kind of leave you hanging where they don't explain things and it feels like they kind of abandon their resellers name hero uh is fantastic because they really get into the nitty gritty and you know exactly what you're getting and i appreciate that and so i love this right here where we lead off with 100 white labeled reseller hosting accounts what does that mean it means that like you can create your own brand okay and then you can resell web hosting and you can have domain name registration through your own website and then you build that passive income over time and then with free whmcs automation if you're like what is that well whmcs is just a piece of software that automates the billing for your clients that register through your website and so that's incredibly important because if you don't have that that means you either have to a find out another solution b do it manually or c get your own whmc as a license which is quite expensive then set everything up on the back end with name hero you get the essential things that you need to get started being a successful reseller so anyways let's take a look at their packages this is what i mean like i love the details so uh their silver package is uh 19 and it renews at 34 that's fine now you get a bunch of different things so i like that we have tells me literally how much storage i get and there's how much bandwidth i get and so for this you know when you have different clients you're going to have to like divvy out this between the clients you have if that makes sense so uh you know right down here we have 40 client accounts so these are the things that are really important the reseller account you want you want to pay attention to make sure you have this wh mcs and you want to pay attention to how many client accounts can you have and how much like storage and bandwidth can you get because uh you know like if you have like 40 clients you may get close to using up all this storage and bandwidth over here if that makes sense you kind of just need to know that and i think this is a fair price for what you get uh 40 client accounts is a decent amount of clients so that means like 40 specific accounts and so that's this looks like a fantastic way to get started and uh name hero is not the fanciest looking of websites but like we come down here i really like let's get right down here uh let's come up there there we go okay that's what i mean they could really make this page a little bit better but i like this so resellers have the ability to create unlimited cpanel accounts with our standard account limits and here you go this is what you get you get one full core cpu out disk based allocate from the master plan virtual memory physical memory concurrent connections 25. i really appreciate all this detail that i get and i can click here to do it out on even more details i really like that they treat their resellers like uh you know the website professionals that a reseller is like someone who's getting to reseller kind of understands web hosting understands how to make websites you know they're not newbies who have never had a wordpress website ever so i really like that i can jump in here it's like ah okay like lightspeed web server faster than apache yeah free website templates like free scripts uh and then i have all the other and i know how much storage i get how many client accounts they get and so i just think this is just a fantastic starter plan because you get light speed server you get a good storage good amount of bandwidth you get 40 client accounts you get in whmcs automation it's white labeled i think this is just a fantastic uh a host reseller hosting package on the web anyways that is number one namehero.com number two is a2hosting.com so i would say that a2 hosting is the primary competitor to name namehero.com when it comes to reseller hosting so a2 is number two because they are my second choice they offer a great hosting package i don't like them as much as i like name heroes reseller hosting package but let's just take a look so the first thing i don't kind of like is this like it starts at 18.99 like what do you mean starting at 18.99 then it's like 45 off was 34. so is this an introduction rate and then the renewal rate is this like just tell me just say like just say like introduction raise this renews that renews after your first year at this just tell me that don't use this confusing language because then i gotta send a message being like i want to confirm is it 34.99 like i'm most likely it is but that's a little bit expensive too for a real beginner reseller hosting package as well i think it could be uh personally like name hero is a little bit cheaper so that's some that's why again i like name here just a little bit more anyways let's come down here we have to click on this the full details to really have a clear understanding and this is something that i love about a2 hosting just like neem hero where they go into detail about what you specifically get you can really get into the nitty gritty real specific details about what each uh hosting package allows you because you're going to be having your own business people are going to be relying on you you need to understand like what resources you're getting because you want to provide a quality hosting experience for your clients as well as domain name registration and so plan resources we'll just take a quick look so we get 60 gigabytes of storage and we get raid 10 ssd storage what raid is is just like when you take two hard drives and then you can connect and have it the computer recognize two hard drives as one and i think raid 10 is like having four hard drives acting as one something like that but that's what raid is anyways we have 60 gigabytes of transfer now what do i want to really know i kind of want to know like how many uh client accounts do i get so let's come down here let's keep keep scrolling uh where is it okay there we go sorry 20 client accounts and so okay so if it renews at 34 and we get 20 client accounts that's not that's a good price it's not bad but like name here was just better and so let's come down here and what's also important that we need to know is we need whmcs that's such a mouthful to say unfortunately with their cheapest package that's an additional 10 dollars a month and so while this says 18.99 a month and like maybe prepay for like the first year it's gonna actually be functionally uh add ten dollars to this because you know you're not gonna wanna have a reseller hosting package that doesn't have that okay let's come back here so with all the other packages it's free and so functionally speaking like what package would you actually want to get you'd want to get their launch package you'd want to get their launch package or their grow package and so this is going to be 50 and it's going to be almost 70 so they offer a lot in the way of storage and resources and that's why i like a2 hosting because you know your clients are going to have a very responsive fast web hosting experience but the downside is that they don't offer a lot of accounts okay so like with name with name here you get more accounts and so this is like 30 50 75 and so you know it's not impossible to get to 40 50 accounts so uh that's just one thing to be aware of and so it's really up to you it's your call that's why i'm kind of trying to educate you and show you like which how to compare these two okay so like a2 hosting they get i think they give you a little bit more in terms of like resources but they give you fewer client accounts you're going to hit that limit where it's name here gives you more client accounts but a little bit less resources i don't like that their free plan doesn't have whmcs you have to pay an additional 10 so it's kind of that's a downside i mean like you're that that for me that makes like ah not even look at this i'm gonna look at this one this one this one but anyways that is number two a2 hosting number three is greengeeks.com so green geeks offers a very good reseller hosting package and so they have three packages right here and so their lowest price is 19.95 which is an introduction rate and it renews at 29.95 a month which i think is a fair price considering what you get and so what you specifically get is you get 60 gigabytes of ssd disk space 60 gigabytes of transfer and you get 25 accounts and of course you get uh free ssl certificates for all your clients now it says free ssl certificate i'm going to assume that they mean like certificates for all web hosts hosted through your reseller hosting account uh so you know if you have a question obviously always contact the web host just to get clear on anything but we still need a little bit more detail before we can make like a purchase decision so i really like this because we can come down here and then it explains what the reseller hosting platform is right there and then it literally gets into nitty gritty details about what clients will specifically get which i really like so we can like host unlimited domains and so that means like you can have you you can offer like unlimited uh like unlimited domains to your within your own hosting packages so as a reseller when you create your own packages to sell your clients you can have that as like hey host with me and you can have unlimited websites because most people aren't going to actually take advantage of that usually that's why web posts say unlimited websites because most people usually end up with like two to six macs and so you know that's really nice to know that like you can offer that type of service uh by going through uh this right here so just pay attention to like this section right here because it explains what you specifically get and so like ecommerce capabilities free let's encrypt wild card which is really important free shopping cart installation premium ssl certificates which you can sell as an upsell for example to people who want to host through us and then right here we get we get specific features that we get which is really important to know so for example free cpanel migration so if you're hosted at like name hero or a2 hosting or host skater and you want to move your reseller account from them to green gigs green geeks will do it completely for free easily deploy wordpress so uh you can easily deploy wordpress woocommerce joomla and other content management systems so you can offer like this one quick uh install which is kind of like expected nowadays it's not for me that's not like a big upsell that's kind of a standard thing to offer people when you're you know people sign up and you know have hosting through your reseller account they're going to expect to have access to cpanel and to quickly and easily uh launch like wordpress for example and then right down here this is really important whmcs hey guys they need to come up with a different name of it it's a long acronym but it's really nice that we get this included within our account okay and so we can start we can have this nice low price starter account in 1995 we can try out reseller hosting for one year with our account we get whmcs included and so that automates the billing and the hosting and all that good stuff that we need to that technical stuff that we need to take care of that's already taken care of because of that software and i think greengeeks is a excellent starter uh reseller hosting account so anyways that's number three greengeeks.com number four is inmotionhosting.com so inmotion hosting offers great reselling hosting packages and they lead off with this strong white label reseller hosting i love that because that means like look it's going to be your their services under your individual brand that you want to create so i really like that so let's take a look so their introduction package is great 1539 that's very cheap and that renews at 29.99 a month with just their intro introduction rate you get 80 gigabytes of sd storage 80 gig 800 gigabytes of bandwidth right that's great and then 25 cpanel accounts that's awesome so you can have 25 client accounts with their beginner hosting package and they offer enough resources with this package to actually have 25 uh accounts with like multiple websites so maybe like like one person has their own cpanel account but then they have two websites on their cpanel account that that makes sense so you can have like you know that's enough resources 80 gigabytes of storage and 800 gigabytes of bandwidth actually uh kind of have enough like fill up the accounts like that because like oftentimes people either you hit the limit as a reseller with your accounts or you hit the limit with your storage that's typically what happens anyways i really like emotion hosting because as again like all the other web posts we've mentioned so far they get into details you get specific details about what you get and so for example we get there there are 100 1000 s and we come down here we have different other option terms we come down here and then we have additional features that they offer like all plans include free ssd storage free billing software so i'm assuming that's the web host management whatever super long acronym it's optimized for wordpress cpanel and whm included if you don't know what whm is that's web host management so like web host management is like the broad software that you use to manage like a vps or a server and through whm you can create individual cpanel accounts it's a little technical most people have no idea about whm have never used it if you've ever managed your own vps or a server you'll have access to whm and it's a little techy uh so you know just know what you're getting into with reso hosting you're going to have to learn a couple of different new technologies anyways what i personally really like is right here we have reseller hosting specifications i love it we get just a broad overview lots of detail gets into the specific things that i kind of need to know like disk space monthly bandwidth ram cpanels included data protection uh dedicated ip address free ssl certificates etc and then last they have this very helpful reseller hosting faq and so for example uh we come down here like how do i like how will i register domain names for my customers can i have custom name servers for example and like this is great for example like you know like all like web hosts like in my long form tutorials when i tell you like sign up through bluehost bluehost has their own dedicated name servers you can have your own name servers with your own reseller hosting account and so that means that's a little technical again but it does it's not too complicated to set up but you could set up like uh you know website creativehosting.com ns1 website creativehosting.com and so you can have your own branded like uh name service to like make make sure everything truly truly truly is white label because you know sometimes it'll say like white label reseller hosting and then people will buy you know their hosting package through your reseller account and then when it comes time to like changing the name servers that say like namecheap or wherever they got their domain name if they didn't get their domain name through your resale hosting account then it'll be like oh ns1 inmotionhosting.com and people like wait a second i thought i was buying website creative hosting and then it's like that's why it's the name server this and so that's why i really like attention to detail like this like answering specific random questions can i have a custom name server yep yep absolutely can this is how you set it up etc so anyways that's number four in motion hosting number five is hostpapa.com so they offer white label reseller hosting so let's go and take a look and so they have different packages right here but uh one thing that you're going to notice is that they don't have any type of like introduction rate they automatically start at the standard renewal rates and so that's a little bit of a downside because other hosting reseller hosting packages they usually have like you know 1999 and 15.99 whatever as a starter plan and then renews that 29.99 and so right down here we get 4 core cpu 2 gigabytes of ram and 50 gigabytes of ssd now one thing that you need to know is that like when you see this two gigabytes of ram 50 gigabytes of sd etc that's going to be spread across the 20 accounts so we can have 20 c panel accounts that means you can have 20 specific clients paying you monthly for web hosting services and then you got to divvy up the four core cpu to 2 gigabytes of ram 50 gigabytes of ssd etc and so for this price i think that's a you know i would i personally would rather i'd kind of expect to see maybe 25 cpanel accounts and the the amount of like resources you get a little bit on the lower end like i was more expecting something like 60 gigabytes in like 600 gigabytes of bandwidth 25 cpanel accounts for this kind of price point uh and then there's no introduction rate on top of that and so if we come in here to the essential features uh this looks really nice where you know it's white label okay so it's like you can set up your private name servers brandable cpanel uh with your own brand uh unlimited domain names unlimited databases rate and redundancy all that essential stuff that you need but one thing that is missing that's really important is again the free billing and automation suite and so right here you have to have their gold plan in order to have the free whmcs not free because like you're paying 64. so it's kind of included whereas like with these two packages that's not included so it's on it's your responsibility to go get a whm and whmcs uh please come with a different name than that anyways it's your responsibility to get your own license if you're going to be using host papa and you want to be using these two packages which is kind of a phantom cost so it adds a little bit more to this so that's just something to be aware of when taking a look at hospital but otherwise i like hospital they get into detail about what you specifically get within your client within your account and what your clients specifically get and i like that they have this frequently asked question section right here where they cover all of the essential things that standard questions you're always going to have uh for example like how is billing handled like you're responsible for collecting payments for your clients most host bubble reseller packages include professional billing software uh where you get up to 250 clients at no extra charge and so i'm assuming that's this right here with the whmcs which which means like with this license that you can have like 250 specific individual accounts are paying you money anyways that's number five host papa number six is hostgator.com so yeah hostgator still offers reseller hosting i think a lot of the big name brand web hosts are kind of moving away to focus more on like manage wordpress hosting and vps and their affiliate program but hostgate are still going strong with their reseller hosting and it's not bad it's not a bad program so anyways they have three options so they're aluminum plan uh right here you get 60 gigabytes of disk space 600 gigabytes of bandwidth that's pretty standard compared to other reseller hosting accounts you get unlimited domain names which is fantastic so for example like you have like three clients they each have their own cpanel they can have like unlimited quote unquote websites through their cpanel so that's really helpful to know when creating your own specific hosting packages through uh hostgator's reseller hosting uh program and so right down here we click on technical specs so hostgator i definitely like in the sense that they don't overwhelm you with technical information for me as like a professional i much more appreciate like name heroes really getting into the really nitty gritty about what you specifically get but if you don't like understand half the lingo like host care is not bad because it just tells you a little bit more simple about what it is now one thing that's missing is like how many cpanel accounts how many client accounts can i get with the this plan and so you know sometimes you just have to reach out and ask so for example i went went ahead and asked that so like how many cpanel accounts for each reseller package it's like uh that's a great question you can create unlimited cpanel accounts on your reseller account you just have to make sure that this big is the disk space uh it doesn't exceed the amount of cpanel accounts so that's good to know so it comes down here like how much disk space you get that's something to be aware of and so this looks that so that starts looking really nice like that 140 gigabytes of disk space uh starting at 24.95 a month uh so i would just be a little bit careful though because this is like the first month here and then it's like all right asterisk okay and so prices reflect discount on first term so what do you mean first term or first month that's what i want to know like typically web posts offer an introduction rate for like the first year and then it renews at the normal rate so i'd kind of like to know a little bit more about that but in general i think hostgator is not bad okay so it's like you get free whmc client management and billing software that's great and then you have not quote unquote unlimited client accounts you know you're not limits like 20 or 25 like other resellers but you basically have to just manage your own specific disk space and so you know and that's pretty standard because again like you know you'll see other resellers like okay you get 20 client accounts you get all these resources so what ends up happening is like you hit the 20 client account mark so that makes you upgrade or you see other resellers what they'll do is you know you'll get uh a ton of re a ton of accounts like hey here you go here's 40 here's 40 client accounts you can have but then they don't provide a lot of way of resources and then they force you to upgrade that way so i like that hostgator is at least a little bit straight in the sense that they offer disk space and bandwidth uh et cetera and to help you like you know you just gotta self manage it yourself and so you know whenever you have questions again just reach out to the web post and you know it's their job so they'll be more than happy to answer any random question that you have but anyways that's number six hostgator.com number seven is godaddy.com so godaddy does offer reseller hosting and they also offer a very interesting reseller program and so these two are a little bit different i want to explain what they are to help you make a decision personally i'm not a big fan of godaddy's reseller program i'll just be straight with you i think it's way too expensive it starts at 39.99 like other reseller programs where we're starting like the introduction rate of 15.99 or 16.99 and then you get 20 accounts and like you know this is like 40 dollars just to start it's two cpus four gigabytes of ram 90 gigabytes of storage so you're paying a lot and you're not getting a lot in the way of resources then it's very light on technical details down here so it's like we get free integrated whms license and up to 250 white label ready accounts and so it's probably 250 white label ready accounts because that is the limit of the how many accounts you can have with whmcs and so like that means like you can have 250 paying clients and and under a w standard w a w h m c s license and so that's why it probably says that and so it's probably like unlimited it doesn't even say this that's why it's very frustrating because it doesn't give me the technical details i really want to know so like if we come down here like how many accounts do i get et cetera i'm assuming that this is just going to be similar to like hostgator where uh you just got to manage it yourself so you can have like unlimited cpanel accounts for example but you just got to manage uh based on the bandwidth and storage and so as you have more accounts you probably have to increase your account to increase the storage et cetera and so personally the recently programmed program is okay but again i think there's much better options out there now the reseller program in general this one is very interesting so what this is is you resell godaddy products all go daddy's products with your own brand and so what it means is like you take godaddy's products and then you have to add your own specific margin on top of it okay so like for example like if you we wanted to you know charge up for our own hosting so let's come over here let's open up hosting and like we could just come down here and so these are their hosting packages so for example i could pay uh right down here i would probably go with this one the pro reseller because it's unlimited customers and so pay this you know you pay this pro reseller then you can go and create your own wordpress website okay once you you once you've done that then you can just start selling godaddy services under your own brand and they provide support which is fantastic because with reseller hosting the support is on you and so that's a downside of reseller hosting a little bit because like most people don't really need that much support but again support is on you but when you do the reseller program when any client ever has a support they open want to open up a ticket godaddy takes care of it with your specific branding but the way that this makes money is that you have to resell their services and then you have to increase the prices so like if i was a if i was under the reseller program i would have to charge for like web hosting i would charge like 7.99 for that and then like my margin would be two dollars okay so if i had someone who signed up through my specific storefront and i'm a godaddy reseller then i would make two dollars a month from that person who bought a web hosting package through my account that makes sense so that sounds very small but like since it's unlimited the more customers you get it kind of really stacks over time so like you can get to a point where you have like you know a thousand customers and every thousand customers paying like two dollar like a little two dollar margin on web hosting and then you're collecting that two thousand dollars then you can really build a nice passive income it's a very slow burn process whereas compared to the reseller hosting the way that this works is that you pay one fee but instead like i'm paying 40 a month for the enhance and then maybe i have like 20 clients and all my 20 clients each are paying like 10 10 10 i'm collecting that entire 10 so like which one is better per se in general i think their broad reseller program is better because while the margins are going to be a lot smaller you know you can just have unlimited customers and they provide this support and then it's like all you have to do is develop a website and create the branding and then you just take all of godaddy's services uh you know let's come down here there are different services right here so it's like web hosting domain names sso certificates website builder and then you get a piece of that you get a piece of that money like you just take the different accounts you just add add to a little bit and that's your margin and that's how it works so again like i said so like if i was able to get again like a thousand people maybe that would take me a few years okay maybe if i had two dollars okay my margin is two dollars i have a thousand people i'm making two thousand dollars in passive income because i'm a i'm a godaddy program reseller and i'm all i'm doing is paying one flat rate enough with unlimited customers whereas reseller hosting is better uh if you're going to if you want to have like fewer clients but make a higher margin a little bit faster if that makes sense i hope i explained that really well but in general for like reseller hosting i think there's a lot better options than godaddy i think godaddy though really shines with this unique uh reseller program but anyways that's number seven godaddy all right everybody that is it for this video on the best reseller hosting packages available
