Reselling on a Dedicated Server

March 26, 2008

Can you resell services to make back a little ‘bit of your money on your dedicated hosting server costs?  Well the terms and conditions may vary from web host to web host, but most will not have a problem with this.  Often, once reseller account clients outgrow their current setups or want to give their own customers more bang for their buck – this is the route they will take.

As long as it is not hurting them and it is not illegal, many web hosts are fine with whatever you need to do on your dedicated server so dividing it up might not be that bad of an idea.  Before doing so, I would make sure that you can get things backed up on your current end before canceling your old web hosting.  You might even wait till after you have everything moved in before flipping the light off with the old web host too.

One concern that might come into play is who is paying the bill?  Make sure only one person is listed as the contact as far as the web host goes, and they are a reliable person who will be paying on time.  Having a confusing paper trail to follow to find out who is actually hosting the account will make many web hosts just a little nervous. 

So is reselling services on a dedicated server ok?  Sure is, you are the one paying for it right?
