Reseller hosting allows you to purchase server 'real estate' and sell it to other people. The best way to look at good resellers is as though you were hosting your website with them yourself.
- Reputation - A well established company
- Reliability - Servers rarely, if ever go down
- Security - Keeps websites safe, inside and out
- Price - Good amount of storage, bandwidth and features for the price
- Tech Support - Helpful, friendly and responsive

Top 5 Tips for picking the best reseller hosting
-
Reputation
When you get reseller hosting it is helpful to go with a company who is large, have a high quality service and will get you what you need. It's also helpful if you ever have to explain to someone how the reselling process works, that you use a good company. -
Reliability
The reason reliability is important in a reselling situation, is because if something goes wrong with the hosting provider you are the one who is responsible. Make sure the company is known for their speed, uptime and stability. -
Security
Keeping the webspace safe is the job of the hosting provider. They should have strong security. Making sure the servers are safe from internal problems like hackers as well as external problems like physical damage. -
Price
Price is important because the less expensive it is, the more you are able to make a profit on reselling it. -
Tech Support
