for the best reseller hosting packages
available right now
let's find out
[Music]
what's up everybody it's david webster
cravepro.com
so reseller hosting is actually
something i haven't really talked too
much about on this channel
and i want to lead off this topic by
creating a really helpful video on the
best reseller hosting packages that you
can purchase
right now now what reseller hosting is
it's just a form of web hosting that a
lot of different web hosts offer
whereas if you purchase a package then
you get a bunch of resources and then
you're able to resell those resources to
your own clients
under your own brand if that makes sense
so instead of being like an affiliate
for boo hoes and godaddy and getting
that
one-time payment that one-time
commission you're actually able to kind
of functionally build your own little
mini web hosting company
and capture your own clients and get and
build that recursive income over time
for yourself
so reseller hosting does have a few
quirks as a few specific things that you
really need to know and you really need
to pay attention to when making a
purchase
decision and that's what i'm going to
help you with in this video so if you're
ready let's jump into my laptop and
begin number one is namehero.com so
honestly name heroes number one because
i personally think that they have some
of the best reseller hosting packages
around
i appreciate the attention to detail
where they go into like just
a lot of detail about what you
specifically get because later on the
video you're going to see a lot of
reseller hosting packages where
they kind of leave you hanging where
they don't explain things and it feels
like they kind of abandon their
resellers
name hero uh is fantastic because they
really get into the nitty gritty and you
know exactly what you're getting and i
appreciate that
and so i love this right here where we
lead off with 100 white labeled reseller
hosting accounts
what does that mean it means that like
you can create your own brand okay and
then you can resell
web hosting and you can have domain name
registration through your own website
and then you build that passive income
over time and then with free whmcs
automation
if you're like what is that well whmcs
is just a piece of software
that automates the billing for your
clients that register through
your website and so that's incredibly
important because
if you don't have that that means you
either have to a find out another
solution b
do it manually or c get your own whmc as
a license which is quite expensive then
set everything up on the back end
with name hero you get the essential
things that you need to get started
being a successful reseller so anyways
let's take a look at their packages
this is what i mean like i love the
details so uh
their silver package is uh 19
and it renews at 34 that's fine now you
get a bunch of different things so i
like that we have
tells me literally how much storage i
get and there's how much bandwidth i get
and so for this you know when you have
different clients you're going to have
to like divvy out this between the
clients you have
if that makes sense so uh you know right
down here we have 40 client accounts so
these are the things that are really
important the reseller account you want
you want to pay attention to make sure
you have this wh mcs and you want to pay
attention to
how many client accounts can you have
and how much like storage and bandwidth
can you get because uh you know like
if you have like 40 clients you may get
close to using up all this storage and
bandwidth over here if that makes sense
you kind of just need to know that and i
think this is
a fair price for what you get uh 40
client accounts
is a decent amount of clients so that
means like 40 specific accounts
and so that's this looks like a
fantastic way to get started and
uh name hero is not the fanciest looking
of websites but like we come down here i
really like let's get right down
here uh let's come up there
there we go okay that's what i mean they
could really
make this page a little bit better but i
like this so resellers have the ability
to create unlimited cpanel accounts with
our standard account limits
and here you go this is what you get you
get one full core cpu out
disk based allocate from the master plan
virtual memory physical memory
concurrent connections 25. i really
appreciate all this
detail that i get and i can click here
to do it out on even more details
i really like that they treat their
resellers like
uh you know the website professionals
that a reseller
is like someone who's getting to
reseller kind of understands web hosting
understands how to make websites
you know they're not newbies who have
never had a wordpress website ever
so i really like that i can jump in here
it's like ah okay like lightspeed web
server
faster than apache yeah free website
templates like
free scripts uh and then i have all the
other
and i know how much storage i get how
many client accounts they get and so i
just think this is
just a fantastic starter plan because
you get light speed server you get a
good storage good amount of bandwidth
you get 40 client accounts
you get in whmcs automation
it's white labeled i think this is just
a fantastic uh
a host reseller hosting package on the
web anyways that is number one
namehero.com number two is a2hosting.com
so i would say that a2 hosting is the
primary competitor to
name namehero.com when it comes to
reseller hosting so
a2 is number two because they are my
second choice they offer a great hosting
package i
don't like them as much as i like name
heroes reseller hosting package but
let's just take a look so the first
thing i don't kind of like is this like
it starts at 18.99 like what do you mean
starting at 18.99 then it's like
45 off was 34. so is this an
introduction rate and then the renewal
rate is this like just tell me
just say like just say like introduction
raise this renews that
renews after your first year at this
just tell me that don't use this
confusing language because then i gotta
send a message being like i want to
confirm
is it 34.99 like i'm most likely it is
but that's a little bit expensive too
for a
real beginner reseller hosting package
as well i think it could be uh
personally like name hero is a little
bit cheaper so that's some that's why
again i like name here just a little bit
more anyways let's come down here
we have to click on this the full
details to really
have a clear understanding and this is
something that i
love about a2 hosting just like neem
hero where they go into
detail about what you specifically get
you can really get into the nitty gritty
real specific details about what each uh
hosting package
allows you because you're going to be
having your own business people are
going to be relying on you you need to
understand like what resources you're
getting because you want to provide
a quality hosting experience for your
clients as well as domain name
registration
and so plan resources we'll just take a
quick look so we get
60 gigabytes of storage and we get raid
10 ssd storage
what raid is is just like when you take
two hard drives and then you can connect
and have it the computer recognize two
hard drives as one
and i think raid 10 is like having four
hard drives acting as one something like
that but that's what raid is
anyways we have 60 gigabytes of transfer
now
what do i want to really know i kind of
want to know like how many
uh client accounts do i get so let's
come down here
let's keep keep scrolling uh
where is it okay there we go sorry 20
client accounts
and so okay so if it renews at 34 and we
get 20 client accounts
that's not that's a good price it's not
bad but like name here was just better
and so let's come down here and what's
also important that we need to know is
we need
whmcs that's such a mouthful to say
unfortunately with their cheapest
package that's an additional 10 dollars
a month
and so while this says 18.99 a month and
like maybe prepay for like the first
year it's gonna actually be functionally
uh add ten dollars to this because you
know you're not gonna wanna have
a reseller hosting package that doesn't
have that okay let's come back here so
with all the other packages it's free
and so functionally speaking like what
package would you actually want to get
you'd want to get their launch package
you'd want to get their launch package
or their grow package
and so this is going to be 50 and it's
going to be almost 70
so they offer a lot in the way of
storage
and resources and that's why i like a2
hosting because
you know your clients are going to have
a very responsive fast
web hosting experience but the downside
is that they don't offer a lot of
accounts okay so like with name
with name here you get more accounts and
so this is like 30 50
75 and so you know it's not impossible
to get to 40 50 accounts so
uh that's just one thing to be aware of
and so it's really up to you it's your
call that's why i'm kind of trying to
educate you and show you like which
how to compare these two okay so like a2
hosting they get i think they give you a
little bit more in terms of like
resources but they give you fewer
client accounts you're going to hit that
limit where it's name here gives you
more client accounts but a little bit
less resources
i don't like that their free plan
doesn't have whmcs
you have to pay an additional 10 so it's
kind of that's a downside i mean like
you're
that that for me that makes like ah not
even look at this i'm gonna look at this
one this one this one
but anyways that is number two a2
hosting
number three is greengeeks.com so green
geeks
offers a very good reseller hosting
package and so they have three packages
right here and so their lowest price is
19.95 which is an introduction rate and
it renews at 29.95 a month which i think
is a fair
price considering what you get and so
what you specifically get is you get 60
gigabytes of ssd disk space 60 gigabytes
of transfer
and you get 25 accounts and of course
you get uh
free ssl certificates for all your
clients now it says
free ssl certificate i'm going to assume
that they mean
like certificates for all web hosts
hosted through your reseller hosting
account
uh so you know if you have a question
obviously always contact the web host
just to get clear on anything
but we still need a little bit more
detail before we can make like a
purchase decision so
i really like this because we can come
down here and then it explains what the
reseller hosting platform is right there
and then it literally gets into nitty
gritty details about what clients will
specifically
get which i really like so we can like
host unlimited domains
and so that means like you can have you
you can offer like unlimited
uh like unlimited domains to your within
your own hosting packages so
as a reseller when you create your own
packages to sell your clients you can
have that as like hey host with me and
you can have unlimited websites
because most people aren't going to
actually take advantage of that usually
that's why web posts say unlimited
websites because
most people usually end up with like two
to six macs
and so you know that's really nice to
know that like you can offer that type
of service
uh by going through uh this right here
so just pay attention to like
this section right here because it
explains what you specifically get
and so like ecommerce capabilities free
let's encrypt wild card which is really
important free shopping cart
installation premium ssl certificates
which you
can sell as an upsell for example to
people who want to host through us and
then right here we get we get specific
features that we get
which is really important to know so for
example free cpanel migration so
if you're hosted at like name hero or a2
hosting or
host skater and you want to move your
reseller account from them
to green gigs green geeks will do it
completely for
free easily deploy wordpress so uh you
can easily deploy wordpress woocommerce
joomla
and other content management systems so
you can offer like this one quick uh
install which is kind of like expected
nowadays it's not for me that's not like
a big upsell that's kind of a standard
thing to
offer people when you're you know people
sign up and
you know have hosting through your
reseller account they're going to expect
to have access to cpanel
and to quickly and easily uh launch like
wordpress for example
and then right down here this is really
important whmcs
hey guys they need to come up with a
different name of it it's a long acronym
but it's really nice that we get this
included within our account okay
and so we can start we can have this
nice low price
starter account in 1995 we can try out
reseller hosting for one year
with our account we get whmcs included
and so that automates the billing and
the hosting and all that
good stuff that we need to that
technical stuff that we need to take
care of that's already taken care of
because of that software
and i think greengeeks is a excellent
starter
uh reseller hosting account so anyways
that's number three greengeeks.com
number four is inmotionhosting.com so
inmotion hosting offers great reselling
hosting packages and
they lead off with this strong white
label reseller hosting i love that
because that means like look it's going
to be your
their services under your individual
brand that you want to
create so i really like that so let's
take a look so their introduction
package is great
1539 that's very cheap and that renews
at 29.99 a month
with just their intro introduction rate
you get 80 gigabytes of sd storage 80
gig
800 gigabytes of bandwidth right that's
great and then 25 cpanel accounts that's
awesome so you can have 25 client
accounts with their beginner hosting
package
and they offer enough resources
with this package to actually have 25 uh
accounts with like multiple websites so
maybe like like one person has
their own cpanel account but then they
have two websites on their cpanel
account
that that makes sense so you can have
like you know that's enough resources
80 gigabytes of storage and 800
gigabytes of bandwidth actually
uh kind of have enough like fill up the
accounts like that
because like oftentimes people either
you hit the limit as a reseller with
your accounts or you hit the limit with
your storage that's typically what
happens
anyways i really like emotion hosting
because as again like all the other web
posts we've mentioned so far they get
into
details you get specific details about
what you get
and so for example we get there
there are 100 1000 s and we come down
here
we have different other option terms we
come down here
and then we have additional features
that they offer like all
plans include free ssd storage free
billing software so i'm assuming that's
the
web host management whatever super long
acronym
it's optimized for wordpress cpanel and
whm included
if you don't know what whm is that's web
host management so
like web host management is like the
broad software that you use to manage
like a vps
or a server and through whm you can
create
individual cpanel accounts it's a little
technical
most people have no idea about whm have
never used it if you've ever
managed your own vps or a server you'll
have access to whm
and it's a little techy uh so you know
just know what you're getting into with
reso hosting you're going to have to
learn
a couple of different new technologies
anyways what i personally really like is
right here we have reseller hosting
specifications i love it we get just
a broad overview lots of detail
gets into the specific things that i
kind of need to know like disk space
monthly bandwidth ram cpanels included
data protection
uh dedicated ip address free ssl
certificates etc
and then last they have this very
helpful reseller hosting faq
and so for example uh we come down here
like
how do i like how will i register domain
names for my customers
can i have custom name servers for
example and like this is great
for example like you know like all like
web hosts like in my
long form tutorials when i tell you like
sign up through bluehost bluehost has
their own dedicated name servers
you can have your own name servers with
your own reseller hosting account and so
that means that's a little technical
again but it does it's not too
complicated to set up but you could set
up like uh
you know website creativehosting.com ns1
website creativehosting.com
and so you can have your own branded
like uh name service to like make make
sure everything
truly truly truly is white label because
you know sometimes it'll say like white
label reseller hosting and then people
will buy
you know their hosting package through
your reseller account and then when it
comes time to like changing the name
servers that
say like namecheap or wherever they got
their domain name if they didn't get
their domain name through your resale
hosting account then it'll be like oh
ns1
inmotionhosting.com and people like wait
a second i thought i was buying website
creative hosting and then it's like
that's why it's the
name server this and so that's why i
really like attention to detail like
this like
answering specific random questions can
i have a custom name server yep yep
absolutely can this is how you set it up
etc so anyways that's number four
in motion hosting number five is
hostpapa.com so they offer
white label reseller hosting so let's go
and take a look
and so they have different packages
right here but uh one thing that you're
going to notice is that they don't have
any type of like introduction rate they
automatically start at the standard
renewal rates and so that's a little bit
of a downside because other hosting
reseller hosting packages they usually
have like you know 1999 and 15.99
whatever as a starter plan and then
renews that 29.99 and so right down here
we get 4 core cpu
2 gigabytes of ram and 50 gigabytes of
ssd now one thing that you need to know
is that like when you see this two
gigabytes of ram 50 gigabytes of sd
etc that's going to be spread across the
20 accounts so we can have 20
c panel accounts that means you can have
20 specific clients paying you
monthly for web hosting services and
then you got to divvy up the four core
cpu to
2 gigabytes of ram 50 gigabytes of ssd
etc
and so for this price i think that's a
you know i would i personally would
rather
i'd kind of expect to see maybe 25
cpanel accounts
and the the amount of like resources you
get a little bit on the lower end like i
was
more expecting something like 60
gigabytes in like 600 gigabytes of
bandwidth
25 cpanel accounts for this kind of
price point uh and then there's no
introduction rate on top of that
and so if we come in here to the
essential features uh
this looks really nice where you know
it's white label okay so it's like you
can set up your private name servers
brandable cpanel
uh with your own brand uh unlimited
domain names unlimited databases rate
and redundancy
all that essential stuff that you need
but one thing that is missing that's
really important
is again the free billing and automation
suite
and so right here you have to have their
gold plan in order to have the
free whmcs not free because like you're
paying 64. so it's kind of included
whereas like with these two packages
that's not included so it's on it's your
responsibility to go
get a whm and whmcs
uh please come with a different name
than that
anyways it's your responsibility to get
your own
license if you're going to be using host
papa and you want to be using these two
packages
which is kind of a phantom cost so it
adds a little bit more to this
so that's just something to be aware of
when taking a look at hospital but
otherwise
i like hospital they get into detail
about what you specifically get within
your client
within your account and what your
clients specifically get and i like that
they have this frequently asked question
section right here where they cover all
of the essential things that
standard questions you're always going
to have uh for example like how is
billing handled
like you're responsible for collecting
payments for your clients most
host bubble reseller packages include
professional billing software
uh where you get up to 250 clients at no
extra charge
and so i'm assuming that's this right
here with the whmcs which
which means like with this license that
you can have like 250
specific individual accounts are paying
you money
anyways that's number five host papa
number six
is hostgator.com so yeah hostgator still
offers reseller hosting i think a lot of
the big name
brand web hosts are kind of moving away
to focus more on like manage wordpress
hosting
and vps and their affiliate program but
hostgate are still going strong with
their reseller hosting and it's not bad
it's not a bad program so anyways they
have three options so they're aluminum
plan
uh right here you get 60 gigabytes of
disk space
600 gigabytes of bandwidth that's pretty
standard compared to other reseller
hosting accounts you get unlimited
domain names which is fantastic so
for example like you have like three
clients they each have their own cpanel
they can have like
unlimited quote unquote websites through
their cpanel so that's really helpful to
know when creating your own specific
hosting packages through
uh hostgator's reseller hosting uh
program
and so right down here we click on
technical specs so hostgator i
definitely
like in the sense that they don't
overwhelm you with technical information
for me as like a
professional i much more appreciate like
name heroes
really getting into the really nitty
gritty about what you specifically get
but if you don't like understand half
the lingo
like host care is not bad because it
just tells you a little bit more simple
about what it is
now one thing that's missing is like how
many cpanel accounts how many client
accounts can i get with the
this plan and so you know sometimes you
just have to reach out and ask so for
example i
went went ahead and asked that so like
how many cpanel accounts for each
reseller package
it's like uh that's a great question you
can create unlimited cpanel accounts
on your reseller account you just have
to make sure that this big is the
disk space uh it doesn't exceed the
amount of cpanel accounts so
that's good to know so it comes down
here like how much disk space you get
that's something to be
aware of and so this looks that so that
starts looking really nice like that 140
gigabytes of disk space uh
starting at 24.95 a month uh so i would
just be a little bit careful though
because this is like the first month
here and then it's like
all right asterisk okay and so prices
reflect discount on first term
so what do you mean first term or first
month that's what i want to know like
typically web posts offer an
introduction rate for like the first
year
and then it renews at the normal rate so
i'd kind of like
to know a little bit more about that but
in general i think hostgator is not bad
okay so it's like you get free whmc
client management and billing software
that's great and then
you have not quote unquote unlimited
client accounts
you know you're not limits like 20 or 25
like other resellers but
you basically have to just manage your
own specific
disk space and so you know and that's
pretty standard because again like you
know you'll see other resellers like
okay you get 20 client accounts you get
all these resources so what ends up
happening is like you hit the 20 client
account mark so that makes you upgrade
or you see other resellers what they'll
do is you know you'll get
uh a ton of re a ton of accounts like
hey here you go here's 40
here's 40 client accounts you can have
but then they don't provide a lot of way
of resources and then they force you to
upgrade that way
so i like that hostgator is at least a
little bit straight
in the sense that they offer disk space
and bandwidth uh et cetera
and to help you like you know you just
gotta self manage it yourself
and so you know whenever you have
questions again just reach out to the
web post
and you know it's their job so they'll
be more than happy to answer any random
question that you have
but anyways that's number six
hostgator.com number seven
is godaddy.com so godaddy does offer
reseller hosting and they also offer a
very interesting reseller program
and so these two are a little bit
different i want to explain what they
are to help you make a decision
personally i'm not a big fan of
godaddy's reseller program i'll just be
straight with you
i think it's way too expensive it starts
at 39.99 like other reseller programs
where we're starting like the
introduction rate of 15.99 or 16.99 and
then
you get 20 accounts and like you know
this is like
40 dollars just to start it's two cpus
four gigabytes of ram 90 gigabytes of
storage
so you're paying a lot and you're not
getting a lot in the way of resources
then it's
very light on technical details down
here so it's like
we get free integrated whms license and
up to 250 white label ready accounts
and so it's probably 250 white label
ready accounts because
that is the limit of the how many
accounts you can have with whmcs
and so like that means like you can have
250 paying clients and and
under a w standard w a w h m c s license
and so that's why it probably says that
and so it's probably like unlimited it
doesn't even say this that's why it's
very frustrating because it doesn't
give me the technical details i really
want to know so like if we come down
here like how many accounts do i get et
cetera i'm assuming that this is just
going to be similar to like hostgator
where
uh you just got to manage it yourself so
you can have like unlimited cpanel
accounts for example but
you just got to manage uh based on the
bandwidth and storage
and so as you have more accounts you
probably have to increase your
account to increase the storage et
cetera and so personally
the recently programmed program is okay
but
again i think there's much better
options out there now the reseller
program in general this one is
very interesting so what this is is you
resell
godaddy products all go daddy's products
with your own brand
and so what it means is like you take
godaddy's products and then you have to
add your own specific margin on top of
it
okay so like for example like if you we
wanted to
you know charge up for our own hosting
so let's come over here let's open up
hosting
and like we could just come down here
and so these are their hosting packages
so for example i could pay
uh right down here i would probably go
with this one the pro reseller because
it's unlimited customers
and so pay this you know you pay this
pro reseller
then you can go and create your own
wordpress website
okay once you you once you've done that
then you can just
start selling godaddy services under
your own brand and
they provide support which is fantastic
because
with reseller hosting the support is on
you and so that's a downside of reseller
hosting a little bit because like most
people don't really need that much
support but
again support is on you but when you do
the reseller program when any client
ever has a support they open want to
open up a ticket
godaddy takes care of it with your
specific branding
but the way that this makes money is
that you have to resell their services
and then you have to increase the prices
so like if i was a if i was under the
reseller program
i would have to charge for like web
hosting i would charge like 7.99 for
that and then like my margin would be
two dollars okay so
if i had someone who signed up through
my specific storefront
and i'm a godaddy reseller then i would
make two dollars a month from that
person who bought
a web hosting package through my account
that makes sense so that sounds very
small but like since it's unlimited
the more customers you get it kind of
really stacks over time so like
you can get to a point where you have
like you know a thousand customers and
every thousand customers paying like two
dollar
like a little two dollar margin on web
hosting and then you're collecting that
two thousand dollars then you can really
build a nice passive income it's a very
slow
burn process whereas compared to the
reseller hosting the way that this works
is that you pay one fee
but instead like i'm paying 40 a month
for the enhance and then
maybe i have like 20 clients and all my
20 clients each are paying like 10
10 10 i'm collecting that entire 10
so like which one is better per se in
general i think their
broad reseller program is better because
while the margins are going to be a lot
smaller you know you can just have
unlimited customers and they provide
this support
and then it's like all you have to do is
develop a website and create the
branding
and then you just take all of godaddy's
services uh
you know let's come down here there are
different services right here so it's
like
web hosting domain names sso
certificates website builder
and then you get a piece of that you get
a piece of that
money like you just take the different
accounts you just add add to a little
bit and that's your margin
and that's how it works so again like i
said so like if i was able to
get again like a thousand people maybe
that would take me a few years
okay maybe if i had two dollars okay my
margin is two dollars i have a thousand
people i'm making two thousand dollars
in passive income because i'm a
i'm a godaddy program reseller and i'm
all i'm doing is paying
one flat rate enough with unlimited
customers whereas
reseller hosting is better uh if you're
going to if you want to have like fewer
clients but make a higher
margin a little bit faster if that makes
sense i hope i explained that really
well
but in general for like reseller hosting
i think there's a lot better options
than godaddy i think godaddy though
really shines with this unique uh
reseller program but anyways that's
number seven
godaddy all right everybody that is it
