Reseller hosting platforms allow organizations to buy or lease hosting resources in bulk from a provider and then repackage and resell those resources to their own clients. The underlying provider delivers the hardware, software, and infrastructure, while the reseller manages customer relationships, billing, and resource allocation.
These platforms often support white-label functionality, enabling resellers, such as web development or design agencies, to brand the hosting as their own. Through dashboards, APIs, or portals, resellers can create and manage client accounts, assign bandwidth and storage quotas, and offer add-ons such as automated updates, SSL certificates, or domain registration.
Reseller hosting platforms are designed for businesses that want to expand their offerings by providing hosting services without investing in their own data center infrastructure.
To qualify for inclusion in the Reseller Hosting category, a product must:
Allow third parties to resell hosting resources purchased or leased in bulk
Provide hosting infrastructure on behalf of resellers, including allocations for bandwidth, storage, and the number of supported websites
Provide management tools (e.g., dashboards, portals, or APIs) that allow resellers to create and manage client accounts, allocate resources, and administer hosting services
