When you compare Hostinger and Tremhost for reselling hosting, the useful question is not which brand is bigger but which setup lets you run a hosting business: separate client accounts, your own branding, billing tools, predictable renewal costs, payment methods you can use and support during your working day. This guide lists the points to check, gives Tremhost’s verified answers, and tells you what to look up on Hostinger’s own site. It does not declare a winner.
A note on fairness: Tremhost publishes this guide. We do not quote Hostinger’s prices, features or support hours here, because they change and vary by country. Check Hostinger’s current product and pricing pages on the day you compare, including whether it currently sells a dedicated reseller plan or a multi-site or agency plan, and how that plan is structured.
What a reseller plan needs to do
Reseller hosting lets you sell hosting under your own brand without running a server. A traditional cPanel reseller plan gives you WHM (Web Host Manager), where you create hosting packages and open a separate cPanel account for each client. Clients log in to their own panel and never see each other. If the model is new to you, read what reseller hosting is.
Some providers instead sell plans that host many websites in one account. That can suit a freelancer managing sites, but it is not the same as giving each client an isolated account with its own login and limits. Be clear which model you are buying.
Eight points to compare
1. Separate client accounts
Tremhost: unlimited cPanel accounts on every plan, created in WHM, within the plan’s storage and bandwidth.
Check on Hostinger: whether each client gets a separate account and control panel login, and whether there is a cap on the number of sites or accounts.
2. White label
Tremhost: full white label, with your brand on the control panel address and nameservers.
Check: whether clients would see the provider’s name anywhere, including nameservers and panel login pages.
3. Billing and automation
Tremhost: WHMCS is included from Reseller 6 ($25 a month) and is a paid add-on on smaller plans.
Check: what billing or client-management tool is included, if any, and its cost.
4. Server software and isolation
Tremhost: LiteSpeed Web Server, CloudLinux (per-account resource limits), Imunify360 security, free SSL for every client domain, NVMe storage, Softaculous and SitePad.
Check: the web server, how one client’s load is isolated from another’s, and which security tools run on the server.
5. Price and renewal
Tremhost: nine plans from $7 to $60 a month. Reseller 1 is $7 (25 GB NVMe, 250 GB bandwidth); Reseller 4 is $12 a month or $108 a year (60 GB, 800 GB); Reseller 9 is $60 (1.2 TB, 20 TB). No introductory pricing, so plans renew at the sign-up price.
Check: the renewal price, the term needed for the advertised price, and what is extra.
6. Payment methods
Tremhost: US dollars by EcoCash, InnBucks, ZimSwitch, Omari, Visa, Mastercard, Bitcoin, Tron or Litecoin.
Check: which methods work in your country. A failed renewal on a reseller account affects every client at once.
7. Uptime and support
Tremhost: a 99.9% monthly availability target in the written service level agreement. Support from Harare by ticket, WhatsApp and booked call, Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00 CAT.
Check: the provider’s SLA, support channels and hours in your time zone.
8. Migration and refunds
Tremhost: free cPanel-to-cPanel migration, typically within 24 hours, and a 30-day refund on the first reseller order.
Check: whether moving your existing clients is free, and the refund window.
Work out your margin before you choose
Your gross profit is clients times your price, minus the plan cost. As an example only: 10 small business sites at $10 a month each bring in $100 a month. If they need 20 GB in total, Reseller 1 at $7 a month has room, leaving $93 before your time, domains and add-ons. Run the same sum for every provider you consider, using renewal prices, not first-term discounts.
Who does what on a reseller plan
On Tremhost, the provider runs the servers, network, server software and security tools. You handle your clients: sales, billing, onboarding and first-line questions. Whatever provider you choose, confirm this split in writing so you know what you can promise your clients.
Test before you commit your clients
Whichever provider you lean towards, test it with one or two of your own sites before moving paying clients. Create a package in the control panel, open a test account, install WordPress, set up a mailbox and send mail to an outside address, restore a file from backup and raise a support ticket during your working hours. Note how long each step takes and how clear the answers are. Those results tell you more about running a reseller business on the platform than any feature list, and a refund period gives you time to do it without risk.
Frequently asked questions
Can I move my clients from another host to Tremhost?
Yes. Sites on cPanel can usually be moved with a full cPanel backup, and Tremhost migrates them free, with sites live on the old host until you switch.
Which Tremhost reseller plan should I start with?
Reseller 1 or 4 suits a first handful of clients. Choose Reseller 6 or above when you want WHMCS included.
Why not just compare the cheapest monthly prices?
Because renewal prices, included tools and payment reliability affect your margin for years. A slightly higher price that stays steady can cost less over three years.
