When starting a web hosting company you will find a lot of options, whether to start with a dedicated server or a reseller package? what kind of operating system and a lot more.

Dedicated server, virtual private server or a Reseller package?

A big delimma is whether to start your hosting company with a Reseller package, VPS or a dedicated server. To answer this problem you must first ask yourself do you possess the required technical knowledge and skills to run a server. If not then I recommend you start with a reseller package.

Another thing you should decide for is operating system, Are you thinking of offering windows hosting? If yes, can you pay for a windows server license? If not then you should go with linux, another question is Can you pay for WHM, Cpanel licenses? If not then I recommend you sign up with Hostgator because they will give you those systems for free if you purchase a reseller package with them.

Should you use either WHMCS or ClientExec as your Billing and support software?

Of Course WHMCS, The back end is very sophisticated and the software is constantly updated. Their technical support is reliable and the WHMCS forums offer a lot of guides and tips for beginners and advanced users.

If you want a separate software for support, then you have to pay for it unless you use an open source software.

Also Clientexec and WHMCS aren’t free software, if you can’t pay for their license then search for a reseller, VPS or a dedicated package that offers you a free license.

Domain Reseller

There is always a catch with free Domain resellers. Most web companies brag about giving out free domain reseller. So you should take maximum care and investigate the matter.

You can’t compete with big web hosting companies If you can’t offer competitive prices, this is where free domain resellers damage your business. Because they sell you domain names on retailer price. So you will find it so hard to make profit out of selling domain names which will make you either sell them for high prices or not sell them at all and lose a lot of potential customers.

Hostgator is said to be the best hosting company in the industry their reseller package contains a free domain reseller, free WHM, Cpanel, WHMCS and ClientExec licenses along with free templates for your website which will save you money which can be used in advertising.
