What is reseller web hosting?
Reseller hosting is a type of web hosting where you buy server resources from a hosting provider and then sell them to your own customers under your own brand. You act as a hosting company without owning the physical servers.

Overview
Web designers, developers, and digital agencies commonly use reseller hosting to offer hosting as an add-on service to their clients. Instead of sending clients to GoDaddy or another provider, they manage the hosting themselves, charging a markup and keeping the relationship in-house.
With reseller hosting, you typically get a reseller control panel (often WHM, which sits above cPanel) that lets you create and manage individual hosting accounts for each of your clients. Each client account is isolated and has its own cPanel login.
Reseller plans come with a set allocation of disk space, bandwidth, and the number of accounts you can create. You divide these resources among your clients however you choose. Some providers offer unlimited reseller plans.
Starting a hosting business through reseller hosting requires minimal upfront investment compared to leasing dedicated servers. However, you are responsible for first-line customer support for your clients, and your service quality depends on the reliability of your upstream provider.
What is ResellerClub?
ResellerClub is a platform associated with reselling domains, hosting and related products under a reseller business.
A reseller account differs from buying hosting for one website. You may be responsible for customer billing, support, renewals, pricing and upstream account funding.
