We own a business that, for whatever reason, needs more than one domain name. Or, instead of owning the business, we’re the webmaster of the company, and need to handle those domain names.

Like the person who has innovated the Internet and found himself more involved with it than he might have originally intended, we would like to cut our expenses not to mention the hassle of dealing with more than one web hosting company.

Whether we are an owner of multiple domain names for business purposes, an Internet hobbyist whose domain name collection is now a little out of hand, or the owner of a business with a natural tie in to the Internet, we might find that becoming a reseller of web hosting services solves many of our problems.

We don’t need to be in the business of web hosting to be a web hosting reseller. Many web hosting companies offer reseller accounts for a price that suits the budget of a serious hobbyist, while providing professional service.

There are a lot of reasons to consider becoming a reseller of web hosting services. First of all, if we have more than one website and the total disk space we need is 500 MB or more, many web hosting providers have reseller programs that will offer us a significant discount on that amount of space.

Much space together under one host will cost less than the combined price of keeping several accounts with different hosts, even if those other hosts seem less expensive for single accounts.
