There comes a time when the internet bug hits us all and we tendto gain a wealth of domain names and web sites to feed ourfrenzy.
We beginning out with the best intentions, set up a personal homepage with a few details about ourselves, then create more for ourfamily, then our business and before we know it we have severaldomain names and web sites spread across several web hostingcompanies.
A more convenient approach would be to set yourself up with areseller account with one hosting company.
Most people assume that to have a reseller account, you need tobe in the business of selling hosting. This is not true. Anyonecan set up a reseller account and enjoy the benefits of savingmoney and also having the convenience of only dealing with onecompany for all your hosting needs.
Ill take my hosting reseller http://www.HostingRevolution.com asan example. They provide a very competitive reseller accountpriced at $35. Their Resellers Package allows you to host 100Domains. You are allowed to give every Domain you host up to20GBs of monthly transfer and up to 2.5GB of storage.
Previously I had over ten domain names and associated web sitesthat were costing me around $5 - $10 a month to host. The averagemonths hosting costs we are
around $50 - $60. Therefore, by settingup a reseller account and transferring my domains and web sitesover to my reseller account I made an measure
saving of $15 amonth.
Now, another extension of this would be to start selling hostingto your friends, after all, you have a reseller account. So ifyou have ten friends, ask them if they would like web hosting onyour server, maybe offer it free of price
to them and inquire of
them torecommend your services to their friends, these may then become"paying" customers. Now YOU can get everybody to pay for hosting andmake back the monthly reseller fee. Just sell ten accounts for $3a month and you have measure
income of $30 to offset the $35reseller fee you are paying. So you get hosting for $5 a monthfor as many domains and sites as you like.
So, with the reseller account you have helped yourself, helpedyour friends, and possibly started building
money as well.
