What is it called when

I have heard some people refer to the following as a form of reseller hosting: when you sell hosting packages for a large company. Wouldn't these be more of an affiliate service?

I know some hosts recommend large companies to use a reseller account so they can add more sites and domain names under one account.

When I just started on the Internet's adventure I commonly found companies offering reseller opportunities that were getting a single package, or a number of them to resell them to customer but backed by the company.

Later I found the other reseller face, that in which you pay for a large hosting account to set your own packages and sell them independently.

What you describe is an affiliate. Reseller hosting si when you have a section of the server's resources and the tools to create individual hosting packages & accounts.
