14 FebWhy do some affiliates use reseller web hosting instead of shared?

confused|multi domain hosting A frequently-asked query:

” My question has to do with affiliate internet marketing. For years I’ve used one shared web hosting account and I create multiple add-on domains on it for all my various sites. I know it’s not a good idea to have all of your domains on one server because search engines can see they all come from the same IP address if you link the sites and if you’re server goes down, all of your sites are down. No site access = no money coming in.

I see that several of the top power affiliates get themselves a reseller hosting account so they can create individual websites rather than add-on domains, but they’re still all on the same IP address and if the server goes down, all the sites will be down.

Reseller hosting is considerably more expensive than shared hosting and I know you can offset the cost by selling accounts and domain names from it, but let’s say you don’t sell to other people.

So what’s the advantage of using reseller hosting instead of shared hosting for affiliate marketing?

Also, yesterday I was looking at some reseller hosting. I need to do some more research, but tell me if something like this is in the ballpark or too expensive. These are just the high level features, but bascially, anything you can do on a shared hosting account, you can do on this so I certainly wouldn’t be losing anything.

.95/mo
cPanel
25 GB diskspace
250 GB data transfer (both of those are far more than I currently use for my 40ish domains)
free eNom to sell domain names

So, why would I want to use a reseller account instead of shared hosting? “

Answer:
In shared hosting, some web hosts like Hostgator allows you to host multiples domains. however, this domains, are ‘addon domains’ which means they are redirected to sub domain folders, and not easy to move around. On the other hand, a reseller’s account allows you to create multiple shared hosting accounts with different domains. Thus gives you more power to control over your websites.

This fact has been tested using Hostgator over 3 months period. You may not get to use new IPs immediately but they will let you get on a different IP after a few weeks, probably once the one server has been too crowded.

    When looking at a shared account..You can find some providers that will offer the ability to host multiple domains.

    one that comes to mind is: hostgator.com they provide the ability to host multiple domains on one shared account.

    Now a disadvantage to this is that all of your domains are "add on" domains. They redirect to sub domain folders, and aren’t as easy to move around etc.

    Now a re-seller plan, allows you to setup your own shared accounts. Some as mentioned are unlimited, some are limited to a number of domains. They’re still on the same IP address, and potentially still on the same server as multiple shared hosting accounts that other people have but it gives you a lot more control over you websites (nameservers, etc….) Especially if you’re using any form of CMS (content management system). Another benefit of reseller hosting is its durability. You will have less problems when hosting a lot of domains.

    I’d recommend getting a re-seller plan if you have more than 5 websites. A couple that come to mind to check out are.

    hostgator.com
    resellerzoom.com
