Reseller Hosting has become quite popular with people especially with the increase of technology and improvement of internet accessibility and function throughout the globe. Reseller hosting is defined as a type of web hosting whereby large web hosting companies allow small or middle sized hosting companies to use their hard drive space and bandwidth on behalf of other third party web sites. This enables the middle sized hosting company to host other third party sites by buying the services from the larger web hosting company at a price that is wholesale and then sells the service to the third parties with the purpose of making a small profit.

The large web hosting site will allocate some of its bandwidth and hard drive space to the account of the reseller hosting company. The reseller also has the option of getting a server that is dedicated to his reseller site only or he/she can also share a server with the web hosting site.
