One of the best times to move to reseller hosting is when you realise either that you need a lot more space to expand or that it would be best (and cheaper) to consolidate all of your websites into one account. The reason reseller hosting is so perfect for this is that you will be using a cpanel that you are familiar with, without all the overwhelming options you get when you go into VPS hosting. Furthermore, there are also a few tricks you can use with reseller hosting so that you actually make money from upgrading rather than pay out more…

So I’m guessing you want to know what the secret is? Well it’s not really a secret as reseller hosting was made for this sole purpose, to sell space to people for money. However, by using it for your website first you can ensure you have all the space you need before deciding to sell space. What you can then do is split up the remaining space and divide the number of space against the cost of your reseller hosting. Then, as long as the ending amount is not stupidly high or stupidly low, you can then sell that space to friends and family or use forums and a bit of marketing to sell it to other people that need some extra space.

By doing this you will firstly get more space and consolidate your sites to one place, but can also make money back and over the amount your spending on hosting, essentially getting free hosting for just a little bit of work here and there. The best thing about this is that you won’t even have to deal with the customers as the support team from your hosting company will be the ones to work out technical issues for you!
