Reseller Hosting Tips

[.firebug]

I thought I'd share some tips that helped me become more successful with reseller hosting.

Branch Out
The hosting market is a saturated place. To attract resellers, offer something the others don't. You can offer discount web design, domain names and other related services that they can resell in addition to hosting.

Keep Prices Low
But not too low. You don't want to shoot yourself in the foot. And don't oversell.

Reseller Service Center
Make sure you provide your resellers with plenty of support and educational services. You have to remember they are basically your virtual salesman. If they don't make sales, neither do you. Provide them with forms, reading material, tools, a private community and more.

Niche Your Market
Finding a niche market will be your best route. What market is untapped? For instance: providing reseller account for stay at home moms. You could waive the start up fee and donate points to a baby club each sale they make. Find a demand and fill it with a supply.

Hope this helps.
