When it comes to UK web hosting a reseller can be defined as an individual who sells web hosting accounts. A whm reseller hosting in the UK for example will likely obtain a reseller account from a UK web host. It is important to choose a reliable and efficient UK web host as it is the host who takes care of network and server maintenance and can provide technical support for the accounts managed by the reseller account. Some basic technical knowledge is required by the reseller, for example the ability to administer POP accounts, register domain names for customers, edit domain records, as well as knowing the basics of HTML and script languages. With a dedicated server however the list of knowledge required increases dramatically as you will be required to manage and maintain the server unless you choose the rather more expensive option of a managed dedicated server. This means that the individual or someone within the company needs to have a large amount of administrator knowledge. The cost of a reseller account is often cheaper than the cost of a dedicated server. With UK reseller hosting the reseller has full control of the packages they offer in terms of price, content and features. The customer accounts are administered via a control panel. Control panels vary in their complexity from basic to very advanced. Basic panels are able to offer a more reliable service to users with less chance of technical difficulties but are not able to match their features or versatility. A UK web host provider should be able to provide account upgrades to the reseller allowing the reseller to have greater flexibility over the size of their business and the amount they want to invest into it. A reseller account is a great way to start and run a hosting business without having large start-up costs or the hassle that comes with setting up a hosting facility. The UK web host who is providing the reseller account remains anonymous to the reseller's customers so reseller customers believe the hosting they are receiving comes from the reseller. Because of this the reseller is able to charge profitable prices without losing customers to the cheaper UK web host. In addition they can provide further services to their customers, for example website design services if they have the technical know-how. Dedicated servers do not provide the advantages that come with having a reseller web host. A great advantage having UK reseller hosting is that if an individual or company owns multiple websites under a single reseller account they have the ability to assign and alter how much bandwidth each website is able to use. As a reseller you are able to resell VPS's to other individuals. If your UK VPS reseller package is fully redundant and comes with a automatic failover you are able to offer more dedicated uptime than a dedicated server. In short a reseller accounts offers huge advantages over a dedicated server in that you are able to be a UK VPS reseller and have the ability to start up a business as a reseller with minimal investment.
