Reseller web hosting or reselling hosting is the process whereby one single reseller account plays host to multiple website accounts. The reseller, which acts as a middle-man acts as a marketer for the web hosting company and sells web space on somebody else’s server. A hosting reseller could be anything from a web developer to a database integrator who offers the web hosting service as an add-on and is not required to have detailed knowledge of the technical aspects of web hosting.

Upon signup, the reseller is given access to a Web Host Manager or a Control Panel. This control panel in turn allows the reseller to provide their customers with their own user control panels (cPanel), which will allow them to manage their own websites and its contents such as: passwords, email addresses and sub domains.

Examples of some notable Control Panels

• Webmin (Linux / Unix)
• WHM/cPanel (Unix)
• Helm (Windows)
• DirectAdmin (Linux / Unix)
• Plesk (Windows & Linux / Unix)
