Web Hosting Reseller
A Web Hosting Reseller is a person or company that acts as an selling agent for a web hosting company, selling their products to the end customer. The web hosting company may own a data center or have its own servers at the data center.
Since resellers purchase in bulk, they usually get discounts for the hosting accounts they buy from the main hosting company , or they can create their own custom hosting accounts for re-sale to their customers
Some resellers collect all the payment from their customers, while other resellers who do not have sufficient infrastructure, let the web hosting company handle payment processing.
Other resellers act as affiliates, forwarding potential customers to the web hosting company and are paid a commission when the sale is completed.
