A reseller
is a middle-man who sells web space on somebody else's server. Reselling
schemes vary widely. They fall into the following categories:
(a) The reseller
acts as an agent for the web hosting company. The service is advertised
by the reseller as being with the actual web hosting company. People buy
direct from the web hosting company but the reseller gets a cut if customers
mention the reseller's name.
(b) The reseller acts as a marketer for the web hosting company. The service
is advertised by the reseller as being with the actual web hosting company.
People buy the service from the reseller but all further contact they
have is direct wih the web hosting company.
(c) The reseller appears to be a web hosting company in his own right,
handling sales and support but 'rebadges' somebody else's service. A customer
buys web space from the reseller who buys web space (at a lower price)
from the actual web hosting company. Customers contact the reseller for
support.
A variant on this scheme is that customers are invoiced by the web hosting
company in the reseller's name and the reseller gets a cut. Support will
usually be via the reseller in order to keep up the pretence that the
reseller is a web hosting company in his own right.
(d) The reseller purchases a large chunk of web space and bandwidth from
the web hosting company and can then carve that into individual chunks
of space/bandwidth for sale to customers. Customers contact the reseller
for support.
