You buy a reseller plan, create a separate cPanel account for each client in WHM and set your own prices, while the provider runs the hardware, server software and security tools. At Tremhost, nine white-label reseller plans run from $7 to $60 a month in US dollars, each with unlimited cPanel accounts, payable by EcoCash, ZimSwitch, card and other local methods.<\/p>\n<h2>How does reseller hosting work?<\/h2>\n<p>A reseller plan gives you a share of a provider&#8217;s servers, measured in storage and bandwidth. There are three layers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The provider<\/strong> runs the hardware, network, operating system, web server and security tools.<\/li>\n<li><strong>You<\/strong> log in to WHM (Web Host Manager), create hosting packages with your own limits, such as 2 GB of storage and 10 mailboxes, and open, suspend, upgrade or remove client accounts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your clients<\/strong> each get their own cPanel login to manage website files, email, databases and SSL. They never see your other clients.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Your clients pay you, and you pay the provider for the plan. What you charge is up to you. With white-label hosting, clients see your company&#8217;s name on the control panel address and nameservers, not the provider&#8217;s. For the background, read <a href=\"https:\/\/tremhost.com\/blog\/what-is-reseller-hosting\/\">what reseller hosting is<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Who is reseller hosting for in Zimbabwe?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Web designers and developers<\/strong> in Harare, Bulawayo or anywhere else who want to host the sites they build and earn monthly income after launch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Digital marketing agencies<\/strong> that manage websites and email for several clients.<\/li>\n<li><strong>IT support companies<\/strong> that already look after a client&#8217;s computers and want to add hosting and email.<\/li>\n<li><strong>New hosting businesses<\/strong> that want to test the market before buying servers and cPanel licences.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Freelancers<\/strong> who want each client site in its own cPanel account, separated from the others.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you only need hosting for your own one or two sites, you do not need a reseller plan. Ordinary web hosting from $30 a year is cheaper and simpler.<\/p>\n<h2>What does Tremhost reseller hosting cost?<\/h2>\n<p>These are the nine plans as listed on the <a href=\"https:\/\/tremhost.com\/reseller\">Tremhost reseller hosting page<\/a> in November 2026, in US dollars per month:<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Plan<\/th>\n<th>Price<\/th>\n<th>NVMe storage<\/th>\n<th>Monthly bandwidth<\/th>\n<th>WHMCS<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Reseller 1<\/td>\n<td>$7<\/td>\n<td>25 GB<\/td>\n<td>250 GB<\/td>\n<td>Paid add-on<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Reseller 2<\/td>\n<td>$9<\/td>\n<td>30 GB<\/td>\n<td>300 GB<\/td>\n<td>Paid add-on<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Reseller 3<\/td>\n<td>$10<\/td>\n<td>50 GB<\/td>\n<td>500 GB<\/td>\n<td>Paid add-on<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Reseller 4<\/td>\n<td>$12, or $108 a year<\/td>\n<td>60 GB<\/td>\n<td>800 GB<\/td>\n<td>Paid add-on<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Reseller 5<\/td>\n<td>$19<\/td>\n<td>100 GB<\/td>\n<td>1 TB<\/td>\n<td>Paid add-on<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Reseller 6<\/td>\n<td>$25<\/td>\n<td>200 GB<\/td>\n<td>2 TB<\/td>\n<td>Included<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Reseller 7<\/td>\n<td>$35<\/td>\n<td>400 GB<\/td>\n<td>5 TB<\/td>\n<td>Included<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Reseller 8<\/td>\n<td>$40<\/td>\n<td>500 GB<\/td>\n<td>10 TB<\/td>\n<td>Included<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Reseller 9<\/td>\n<td>$60<\/td>\n<td>1.2 TB<\/td>\n<td>20 TB<\/td>\n<td>Included<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Tremhost does not use introductory pricing, so plans renew at the sign-up price. Your first reseller order has a 30-day money-back period on the hosting fee; domains, licences, setup fees, paid migrations and renewals are not refundable.<\/p>\n<h2>What does every plan include?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Unlimited cPanel accounts<\/strong>, within your plan&#8217;s storage and bandwidth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>WHM and cPanel<\/strong>, with Softaculous for one-click installs such as WordPress, and the SitePad drag-and-drop site builder.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Full white label<\/strong>, from the control panel address to the nameservers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>LiteSpeed Web Server<\/strong> with LiteSpeed caching for PHP and WordPress sites.<\/li>\n<li><strong>CloudLinux<\/strong>, which puts each account in its own resource limits so one busy client cannot slow the rest.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Imunify360<\/strong> firewall, malware scanning and cleanup across every account.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Free SSL<\/strong> for every client domain, on NVMe storage.<\/li>\n<li>A <strong>99.9% monthly availability target<\/strong> in the written service level agreement, with service credits if it is missed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why does WHMCS matter?<\/h2>\n<p>WHMCS is billing and client management software for hosting businesses. It creates invoices, takes payments, sends reminders and can open a new cPanel account automatically when a client pays. With a handful of clients you can invoice by hand. Once you have dozens, automation saves time and reduces mistakes. Tremhost&#8217;s reseller page lists WHMCS as free on Reseller 6 and above and as a paid add-on on smaller plans.<\/p>\n<h2>How much can you earn? A worked example<\/h2>\n<p>Your gross profit is the number of clients times what you charge each one, minus the plan price. As an example only: you host 10 small business sites at $10 a month each, so you take in $100 a month. If they need 20 GB of storage in total, Reseller 1 at $7 a month has room, leaving $93 a month, or $1,116 a year, before your own time, domain costs and any add-ons.<\/p>\n<p>Check bandwidth too, and leave headroom for growth. Email often uses more space than websites. Your real numbers depend on your prices, your clients&#8217; needs and how much support you give.<\/p>\n<h2>How do you choose a plan?<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Estimate storage.<\/strong> Add up your clients&#8217; sites and mailboxes, then leave room to grow.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check bandwidth.<\/strong> Busy sites and large downloads use more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Decide on billing.<\/strong> If you want automated invoicing and account creation, choose Reseller 6 or above.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Start small.<\/strong> Reseller 1 or 4 suits a first handful of clients, and you can upgrade as you add more.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Reseller plan or your own server?<\/h2>\n<p>Running your own hosting server means renting a VPS or dedicated server, paying for a cPanel licence, setting up billing and keeping the server patched and secure. That gives you full control, but problems at night are yours to fix.<\/p>\n<p>A reseller plan removes those jobs. You lose root access and some control over server settings, but you can start with a few clients for a small monthly cost. Many hosting businesses start as resellers and move to their own servers once they have enough clients to justify it. When that time comes, a <a href=\"https:\/\/tremhost.com\/cpanelvps\">managed cPanel VPS<\/a> starts at $80 a month. If you want to sell reseller accounts to other resellers, Tremhost&#8217;s reseller page points to <a href=\"https:\/\/tremhost.com\/masterreseller\">master reseller hosting<\/a>, with WHM, cPanel and unlimited reseller accounts.<\/p>\n<h2>Who does what?<\/h2>\n<p>Tremhost handles the servers, network, server software and security tools, and supports you by ticket, WhatsApp and booked call, Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00 CAT. You handle your clients: sales, billing, onboarding and first-line questions such as how to set up email. Good habits help:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Register each client&#8217;s domain in the client&#8217;s name.<\/li>\n<li>Set clear package limits so one client cannot use all your storage.<\/li>\n<li>Tell clients what support you offer, when, and how to reach you.<\/li>\n<li>Price for your time, not just the plan cost.<\/li>\n<li>Explain how backups and restores work on your service.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Do I need technical skills to be a reseller?<\/h3>\n<p>You need to be comfortable with WHM and cPanel and able to answer basic client questions about email, domains and WordPress. You do not need to manage a server.<\/p>\n<h3>Will my clients know I use Tremhost?<\/h3>\n<p>No. The service is white label, so clients see your brand on the control panel address and nameservers.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I move existing clients to a reseller plan?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Tremhost offers free cPanel-to-cPanel migration, typically within 24 hours, and sites stay live on the old host until you switch. See <a href=\"https:\/\/tremhost.com\/migrate\">free website migration<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I pay?<\/h3>\n<p>Monthly or yearly, in US dollars, by EcoCash, InnBucks, ZimSwitch, Omari, Visa, Mastercard, Bitcoin, Tron or Litecoin. That matters for Zimbabwean businesses that cannot easily pay overseas providers by card.<\/p>\n<h3>What happens when I outgrow my plan?<\/h3>\n<p>Move up to a larger reseller plan. The features stay the same, so nothing changes for your clients.<\/p>\n<h2>Next step<\/h2>\n<p>Compare the nine plans on the reseller hosting page, or message Tremhost on WhatsApp (+263 73 563 9917) with how many clients you have and how much storage they use, and ask which plan fits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reseller hosting lets you sell web hosting under your own brand without running a server: you create a cPanel account for each client in WHM and set your own prices.
