Aussies earning hundreds, some thousands, of dollars a month reselling web hosting.

Announcement posted by Digital Pacific 09 Feb 2012

Australian tech savvy people are earning hundreds, some thousands, of dollars per month reselling web hosting.

"Hosting Reseller programs are great because they're flexible, and, unlike other business start-ups, they don't require a huge initial investment," states Andrew Koloadin of Digital Pacific.

With each plan, the reseller receives a set amount of server space and bandwidth per month to resell.

"We give our partners the opportunity to choose their own rates and hosting plan details for their clients. They get to decide how to use the space."

Their Reseller Lite plan, for example, provides 15 Gb of server space, 70 Gb of bandwidth and allows up to 30 domain names, all for only $60 per month. A reseller can create a plan offering each client, up to 30, 500 Mb of server space at $10 per month. This could gain the reseller $240 for the month, making it a great source of extra income or a nice start to a growing business.

The entire setup is tailored to the reseller. They receive an administrator control panel from which to manage all client accounts, and they are able to update all visible information with their own company logo to help build their brand.

"We remain anonymous during the reselling process," explains Koloadin. "This is their business, and we want to protect that image."

The image-protecting anonymity also transfers into the support area. Although the hosting company maintains the physical servers for the reseller, the reseller must handle all billing and support for its own clients.

"We can support the reseller for issues they might have, but we never contact their clients. Support and billing is left completely up to the reseller. We work hard in the background to provide the most reliable service possible by monitoring and maintaining the servers, but the client cannot see we are actually the backbones of the operation."

Individuals that make perfect candidates for the Reseller Program are those looking for greater control over their work lives, work from home opportunities, as well as green business start-up ideas. Web designers and developers often take advantage of this program to offer their current clients reliable web hosting,which provides a repeat income stream for months to come. These two groups in particular are perfect candidates since they are already familiar and comfortable with the web hosting industry.

"Not everyone can do this, unfortunately. There is a certain level of technical knowledge needed to become a reseller."

Koloadin continues, "For those without much technical knowledge, we suggest our affiliate program. It's another great way to partner with Digital Pacific and earn some extra income."
