What's the defferences between reseller and affiliate pro.?

[peteralex1211]

I think that the difference is that you will be able to earn much more money if you start reselling instead of joining an affiliate program. If you are not experienced enough in online business, an affiliate program will be a good option for you. Moreover, there are many companies out there and it is difficult to find reliable and honest one. On the account of the fact, I highly recommend you to have a look at apthost.com as it offers both nice terms in their affiliate program and attractive reseller plans.

In reseller account, you can host more than one domain in your account and it depends upon the hosting plans. The reseller purchases the host's services and sells them to customers for a profit. Some portion of hard drive and bandwidth is allocated to the reseller account from the shared server. Moreover, By signing up the affiliate program of the hosting companies, user can earn money as per their provided offer.

Let me give an example with Hostgator

Reseller Account


With a reseller account, you can set up your own own web hosting business, with your own branding, support and billing. HostGator becomes your supplier behind the scenes, and from your customers' perspective, you are their hosting company, not HostGator.


You would want this approach if:


You want to promote your own brand.
You prefer receiving ongoing income from your customers.
You sell other related services, such as web design, and want your customers to come to you for support issues.
You want to bundle hosting with other services you offer.
You want to offer methods of payment that HostGator does not provide.
For international resellers, you want to bill your customers in a currency other than U.S. dollars.
You want to earn money selling domains in addition to web hosting, through a domain registrar such as eNom.


You can promote your web hosting business by:


Creating your own website selling web hosting under your own brand and domain.
Setting up a billing and support system such as WHMCS (provided free with our reseller and Linux dedicated server accounts).
Setting up payment methods, such as PayPal, Google Checkout, a merchant account, and/or others.
You may sign up to be a web hosting reseller on our website.


Affiliate Program


With our affiliate program, however, you are essentially referring business to HostGator in exchange for a commission. People sign up for web hosting with HostGator, and they become HostGator customers who in turn utilize HostGator support.


You would want to use this approach if:


You simply want to send us referrals and not have to interact with the customer on an ongoing basis.
You want HostGator to support the customer.
You prefer a one-time lump sum commission rather than smaller ongoing payments from your customers.


You can promote HostGator by:


Using the promotional materials we provide in your Affiliate Center.
