Your clients buy from you, see your name on invoices, control panels and nameservers, and pay the prices you set. At Tremhost, white label cPanel reseller hosting starts at $7 a month with unlimited cPanel accounts.<\/p>\n<h2>How white label reseller hosting works<\/h2>\n<p>The hosting company gives you a share of a server and a management panel. On cPanel-based reseller plans, that panel is WHM (Web Host Manager). From WHM you create a separate cPanel account for each client, set their storage and bandwidth limits, and suspend or remove accounts when needed.<\/p>\n<p>Your client logs in to their own cPanel, where they manage files, email accounts, databases and DNS. They do not see the hosting company behind you. You handle sales, pricing, billing and first-line support. The provider handles the hardware, operating system, security patches and server monitoring.<\/p>\n<p>For a broader introduction, see <a href=\"https:\/\/tremhost.com\/blog\/what-is-reseller-hosting\/\">what is reseller hosting<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Who white label hosting suits<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Web designers and developers<\/strong> who already build sites and want the hosting renewal to come to them, not to another company.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Digital agencies<\/strong> that want to bundle hosting, email, maintenance and design into one monthly or yearly fee.<\/li>\n<li><strong>IT support companies<\/strong> whose clients ask for websites and business email.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Entrepreneurs<\/strong> who want to start a hosting brand without buying servers or hiring system administrators.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What you are responsible for, and what the provider does<\/h2>\n<h3>Your side<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Choosing a brand name, domain and prices.<\/li>\n<li>Creating client accounts in WHM.<\/li>\n<li>Billing clients and chasing renewals.<\/li>\n<li>Answering client questions and passing server issues to your provider.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>The provider&#8217;s side<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Servers, storage and network.<\/li>\n<li>Operating system updates and security patching.<\/li>\n<li>The web server, malware protection and server-level backups.<\/li>\n<li>Technical support to you when something on the server goes wrong.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You do not need to know how to run a Linux server for cPanel reseller hosting. You do need to be comfortable creating accounts, setting up DNS and helping clients with email settings.<\/p>\n<h2>The benefits and the trade-offs<\/h2>\n<h3>Benefits<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Recurring income.<\/strong> Each client pays you every month or year, as long as they stay.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your brand, your relationship.<\/strong> Clients come back to you for changes, upgrades and new projects.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Low start-up cost.<\/strong> You avoid buying hardware and software licences up front.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bundling.<\/strong> You can package hosting with design, maintenance and email.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Trade-offs<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>You own the client relationship, including the problems.<\/strong> When a client&#8217;s site goes down, they call you first.<\/li>\n<li><strong>You depend on your provider.<\/strong> Your service can only be as reliable as the servers behind it, so check the provider&#8217;s service level agreement and support hours.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Margins depend on your pricing.<\/strong> If you charge too little, a few support-heavy clients can use up your profit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Working out your margin<\/h2>\n<p>A simple way to check whether reseller hosting will pay: multiply the number of clients by what you charge each one, then subtract your plan cost. That gives you what is left before your own time, domain costs and payment fees.<\/p>\n<p>For example, 15 clients paying $10 a month on a $12 plan would bring in $150 and leave $138 a month. These are example numbers, not a forecast. Use your own prices and client count. The <a href=\"https:\/\/tremhost.com\/whitelabelcloud\">Tremhost white-label hosting page<\/a> has a calculator you can fill in.<\/p>\n<h2>Three types of white label hosting at Tremhost<\/h2>\n<h3>cPanel reseller hosting<\/h3>\n<p>For people who host websites for their own clients. There are nine plans from $7 to $60 a month, from 25 GB to 1.2 TB of NVMe storage. Every plan includes unlimited cPanel accounts, WHM, full white labelling, LiteSpeed, CloudLinux, Imunify360 and free SSL. WHMCS billing software is included free from Reseller 6 at $25 a month. Reseller 1 costs $7 a month with 25 GB of storage and 250 GB of bandwidth.<\/p>\n<h3>Master reseller hosting<\/h3>\n<p>For people who want to sell hosting to other resellers. From $30 a month, you create reseller accounts that can create their own clients. Private nameservers, LiteSpeed and Imunify360 are included, and master reseller plans include WHMCS.<\/p>\n<h3>VPS reseller hosting<\/h3>\n<p>For clients who need their own servers and root access. From $45 a month you get a pool of cores, RAM and NVMe storage to split into virtual machines, a white-label control panel and a WHMCS module that creates VMs automatically. This suits people comfortable managing Linux servers.<\/p>\n<h2>How to start a hosting brand<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Pick your market.<\/strong> Small businesses, schools, churches or a niche you already serve.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Choose a plan<\/strong> that covers the storage your first clients need, with room to grow.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Register your brand domain<\/strong> and set up your own nameservers and support email.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Set your prices and packages.<\/strong> Include email and SSL so clients see clear value.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Set up billing,<\/strong> either with WHMCS or your existing invoicing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Move existing clients.<\/strong> Tremhost migrates cPanel accounts from other cPanel hosts for free.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Why resellers in Zimbabwe use Tremhost<\/h2>\n<p>Tremhost has run hosting from Harare since 2016 and has more than 13,000 domains on its infrastructure, many of them through resellers. You pay in US dollars by EcoCash, InnBucks, ZimSwitch, Omari, Visa, Mastercard, Bitcoin, Tron or Litecoin. Support is by ticket and WhatsApp, Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00 CAT. Reseller hosting is covered by a 99.9% monthly availability target and a 30-day refund on your first order.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Will my clients know Tremhost is behind my hosting?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Reseller plans are fully white labelled. Clients see your brand in their control panel, nameservers and invoices.<\/p>\n<h3>Do I need technical skills to be a hosting reseller?<\/h3>\n<p>For cPanel and master reseller hosting, you mainly need to create and manage accounts in WHM. Tremhost runs and patches the servers. VPS reselling needs more Linux knowledge.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I bill my clients?<\/h3>\n<p>However you like. Many resellers use WHMCS, which is included from Reseller 6 and on master reseller plans. Others send invoices from their accounting software.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I move my existing clients to a Tremhost reseller account?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Migration from another cPanel host is free, and sites stay live at the old host until they are switched over.<\/p>\n<h2>Next step<\/h2>\n<p>Compare the nine plans on the <a href=\"https:\/\/tremhost.com\/reseller\">Tremhost cPanel reseller hosting page<\/a>, starting at $7 a month, and launch your hosting brand under your own name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A white label hosting reseller sells hosting under their own brand while another company runs the servers.
