There comes a time when the internet bug hits us all and we tend
to gain a wealth of domain names and web sites to feed our
frenzy.
We initial
out with the best intentions, set up a personal home
page with a few details about ourselves, then create more for our
family, then our business and before we understand
it we have several
domain names and web sites spread across several web hosting
businesses
.
A more convenient approach would be to set yourself up with a
reseller account with one hosting business
.
Most everybody assume that to have a reseller account, you positive need
to
be in the business of selling hosting. This is not true. Anyone
may set up a reseller account and enjoy the benefits of saving
funds
and also having the convenience of only dealing with one
company for all your hosting needs.
Previously I had over ten domain names and associated web sites
that we are
costing me around $5 - $10 a month to host. The average
many years hosting costs were around $50 - $60. Therefore, by setting
up a reseller account and transferring my domains and web sites
over to my reseller account I made an measure
saving of $15 a
month.
Now, another extension of this would be to beginning selling hosting
to your friends, after all, you have a reseller account. So if
you have ten friends, inquire of
them if they would like web hosting on
your server, maybe offer it free of cost to them and ask them to
recommend your services to their friends, these may then become
"paying" customers. Now YOU might
get all the people to pay for hosting and
make back the monthly reseller fee. Just sell ten accounts for $3
a month and you have instant income of $30 to offset the $35
reseller fee you are paying. So you get hosting for $5 a month
for as many domains and sites as you like.
So, with the reseller account you have helped yourself, helped
your friends, and possibly started generating money as well.
