How to choose reseller web hosting providers?

Reseller web hosting is the type of web hosting wherein a person/firm buys hosting service from a big web hosting service provider, and sells a portion of the bandwidth and hard drive space, allotted to it, to various other individuals or small business owners. The principle account holder has the right to host third party websites on this space.

The reseller purchases the reseller hosting from any service provider and then sells the allotted space to its own customers, possibly for a profit. The reseller allows third party websites to get hosted on its reseller hosting, by levying only a fraction of charges per third party buyer. Thus, the reseller gets its profit, meanwhile the third party vendors get their websites hosted at a marginal rate, as compared to buying the hosting service first hand.

Since the profits are quite sure, reseller hosting is mainly used by small medium business enterprises who want to make money by selling hosting to other small website owners and keeping the price much lesser than the existing big hosting companies. Thus, enabling the people, who cannot afford to form a big hosting company, get their websites hosted in the form of reseller hosting.
