Reseller hosting is a form of web hosting wherein the account owner may split up their alloted hard drive space and bandwidth and resell web hosting.

Reseller hosting generally requires little knowledge of web hosting services in order to get started. Reseller hosts are generally not responsible for maintaining web server services, or other maintenance related tasks. This job is held by the owner of the dedicated server in which the reseller host is hosted. Through GUI control panels (as listed below), reseller hosting is made simple and straight forward.

Popular commercial control panels that allow the setup of web hosting resellers are:

cPanel

Plesk

Direct Admin

Ensim

H-Sphere.

Popular Open Source control panels that allow the setup of web hosting resellers are:

Webmin (GPL) with Virtualmin addon

web-cp (GPL)
