Reseller hosting is a web hosting service that allows individuals or companies to purchase hosting resources and then resell them to their own clients or customers. Essentially, resellers act as intermediaries between the hosting provider (the company that owns and manages the servers, such as DigitalOcean) and end-users who need web hosting services. Reseller hosting typically includes features like the ability to create and manage multiple hosting accounts, allocate server resources, and often includes a white-label option where resellers can brand the hosting services as their own.
As a DigitalOcean reseller, you create and manage multiple Droplets, each dedicated to a specific client. These Droplets can be customized with different resources and configurations to meet your clients’ hosting needs. DigitalOcean has built-in security features, is easy to scale, and has cost-effective prices that make running your own web hosting service simple and help ensure you can offer competitive costs to your own customers.
The technical requirements for reseller hosting on DigitalOcean vary depending on the plan you choose. However, some common requirements include:
A valid credit card
A legal entity
A website or domain name for your hosting business
A technical understanding of web hosting
The ability to manage hosting accounts and billing
The ability to offer add-on services
