With more and more businesses wanting to build an online presence, the business opportunities for web professionals are growing by the day. Starting a Hosting Reseller business is one such opportunity that neither needs much initial investment nor in-depth technical expertise. Reseller Hosting<\/a> makes for an excellent alternate revenue stream and a natural extension of the existing business for smaller web companies, freelance web developers and designers. Unlike a traditional hosting setup, which requires you to develop your own infrastructure from scratch, Reseller Hosting offers a ready-made framework that is ready for deployment from day one onwards.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Reseller Hosting entails providing web hosting services to other businesses or individuals without actually owning any infrastructure of your own. The actual hosting setup is owned and provided by your Reseller Hosting provider. You sell the hosting services as your own, under your own brand name, for a profit. Here, you do not have to make any initial heavy investments to build your own hosting infrastructure. The hosting provider looks after the technical side of hosting, including server maintenance, updates, web hosting solutions, and provision of 24×7 technical support. You, as the Hosting Reseller, simply buy the Reseller Hosting account, and re-package, rebrand and resell the hosting packages to your customers. You are also in charge of marketing your business, onboarding and terminating a customer, managing the pricing and billing, and offering timely redressal of queries to your customers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Reseller Hosting offers a host of benefits to budding entrepreneurs who wish to set up their own web hosting business. Your Reseller Hosting provider also bundles expert-level technical support that can be availed by your customers. So, you do not have to worry about maintaining your own support team. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are two types of Reseller Hosting available based on the operating system used by the hosting server – Linux and Windows.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The debate of choosing between Linux and Windows is an old one, and it continues in the hosting space as well. Choice of one over the other depends on a number of factors such as your requirements, level of technical expertise and your business packages. Their purpose is the same, and their performances are on par, but there are certain differences that set them apart.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Both Linux and Windows are great options to kickstart your Reseller Hosting business. Here\u2019s a closer look at the crucial differentiating factors between the two that will help you to decide between the two Operating Systems.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Linux Reseller Hosting<\/a> uses one of the many distributions of the open-source operating system as its hosting OS. Due to its open-source nature, it is supported by a vibrant community of developers that keep it updated with the latest features and developments. It is cost-effective, easily scalable and offers a deeper level of security, but has a steeper learning curve. A developer can set up Linux to deliver better performance.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Windows Reseller Hosting uses the most popular and the most widely used operating system in the world – Windows by Microsoft. Windows Reseller Hosting has one distinct advantage over Linux, and that is \u2018ease-of-use\u2019. It features a familiar user interface which makes it appear much less daunting than Linux\u2019s user interface which can change according to distributions. This familiarity in design and the consistency in the user interface, as well as user experience, is what makes Windows a popular Reseller Hosting choice.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now that we\u2019ve seen what Reseller Hosting is and also delved into the two types of Reseller Hosting, it is now time to take a closer look at the differences that set these two apart.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n As far as Reseller Hosting is concerned, both Linux and Windows offer almost similar value for money. Both offer multiple pocket-friendly plans that would suit a variety of sites. However, Windows Reseller Hosting costs slightly more than Linux Reseller Hosting, as it adds the cost of Windows licensing fees as well as other proprietary software.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Both operating systems are pretty straight-forward to use. Windows offers the GUI (Graphical User Interface) that is easier to get around because of its familiarity. Linux, on the other hand, offers much more control over your hosting but needs a bit of technical know-how to be able to wield effectively.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Stability is one of the most important features of a hosting platform. While both the operating systems offer a stable hosting platform, Linux receives more frequent updates, thanks to its active developer community. Windows also receives regular updates, but not as frequently as Linux.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The ability to customise your hosting platform offers better performance with more granular fine-tuning. Windows is proprietary software and is somewhat limited in its scope for customisation. Linux features better customisation options with a host of add-ons. This helps to maximise the compatibility of the Linux platform with a larger selection of web applications.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Security is a valid and a prime concern when it comes to online assets. Both these operating systems have a formidable arsenal of security measures that ensure the security of your customers\u2019 data. While they may have different procedures and protocols, both are equally adept at security.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now that you know the major differences between Linux Reseller Hosting and Windows Reseller Hosting, have you made your decision yet? If you\u2019re looking for more customisations and better control over your hosting\u2019s settings, Linux Reseller Hosting will do the job for you. If you do not like to tinker with settings and prefer a ready set of procedures, Windows Reseller Hosting should be your choice.
