Reseller Hosting vs Shared Hosting
Among different types of hosting, I've decided to share the difference between the Reseller Hosting and Shared Hosting. This is because these two hosting services are most picked up by startups. Yes, this is true. Both have some specific features that attract beginners to choose one for their startup.
Let us learn the difference between the two and then check it out why these two are best for beginners.
Difference between Reseller and Shared Hosting
There is multiple difference between these two services that can be understood with the given points. Let's know about it in detail.
#1. Intro
Reseller Hosting is a web hosting business model in which service provider provide services to its client to resell their products.
Shared Hosting is a type of hosting services in which resources has been shared with multiple users within the same server.
#2. Services
In reseller hosting, user get unlimited features with limited access authority to manage multiple administrator account.
In shared hosting, user get limited resources and access to manage the website and its data.
#3. Management Tool
WHM is the management tool used by reseller accounts to manage multiple cPanel accounts and their features.
cPanel is the management tool provided by service providers to shared users to manage website and its data.
#4. User
Reseller Hosting is mostly opt by those who want separate management panel for each website or those who wanted to start web hosting business at small scale.
The user of Shared hosting are the one who need limited resources to manage their website and its data.
There are multiple service providers like REDSERVERHOST, GoDaddy, Namecheap etc that provide both these services as per the choice of user.
#5. Pricing Structure
Well, this is the most important factor that is considered to choose best among anything. It is true that, reseller hosting are more expensive than shared one. But it should be noticed that reseller hosting provide more benefits as compared to the shared hosting services. In reseller hosting, user has more resources and administrator access but shared hosting also prefers best if you are beginner and using your website for limited audience and traffic.
Service Provider like REDSERVERHOST not only provide cost-effective plans for both but also you can have features related to backup and restore, free SSL and Malware Detector even in shared hosting plans.
Why Shared Hosting or Reseller Hosting are best for beginners?
As I've already said that shared hosting and reseller hosting are most picked by beginners. With the above difference and explanation it can be understood. If not then let us understand it with an example.
I've a website for which I want space on the internet and it could be possible with hosting services. now, I want hosting services to create online presence. I need limited resources like disk space, limited or no add-on domains, MySQL Database or E-mail accounts. Would it be a good decision to purchase VPS or Dedicated server for this? I think no, it would not be a nice decision to do so. Instead, I can look for a service provider that provide me enough feature to manage my website. So, it would be best if I choose shared hosting services to manage a single website.
Let us check with the other scenario, where I wanted to start a hosting business but I've limited knowledge. In that case, again choosing VPS or Dedicated server would not be a good decision. So, this time it would be better if I opt for Reseller Hosting, in which I get unlimited features to manage multiple cPanel accounts.
Now, it can be understood that why these two are most liked by the beginners.
