The meaning
Reseller hosting gives an account holder a way to create or manage hosting accounts for their own customers.
Why it matters
Check account limits, control-panel licences, isolation and support boundaries. The reseller creates an additional customer relationship.
The boundary
Upstream capabilities do not automatically become the commitments a reseller can safely make.
Separate customers as well as invoices
An agency manages several client sites under a reseller arrangement. Separate accounts, access credentials, backups and resource limits help prevent one client’s incident from affecting another. Reselling capacity is different from receiving administrative control of the entire physical server, so verify the panel role and the chosen plan’s account limits.
- Document who handles client support, abuse reports and renewal notices.
- Do not advertise unlimited accounts or WHM access on a tier that does not list them.
