Reseller hosting

"I simply want to start a website for my business. The more and more I dive into it, I become more overwhelmed with the multiple facets. How do I figure it all out what it all means and decide what will truly work for me?"

Does this sound like you? It's very common to become frustrated with all the buzzwords and techie talk. The simple fact is, it doesn't really matter. A web hosting company acting as a sort of middleman defines reseller hosting. It doesn't mean they are going to be more expensive. Nor does it mean they will offer less service to you. It simply means they don't actually own the hardware and technology themselves. Many times a reseller can actually be better for you. They can offer better customer service, simply because they don't need to worry about managing everything under the sun. Additionally, they may even offer better pricing. They can do this because they are a distributor of sorts.

When you buy a T-shirt from Walmart that says Hanes, you're not buying it directly from the manufacturer. Walmart is acting as a reseller. Even if you did try to buy your T-shirt directly from Hanes, you still wouldn't get as good as price as Walmart gives. This is possible because Walmart buys in Bulk. You are only purchasing One Shirt. The same philosophy applies to low-cost reseller domain hosting. They buy in bulk, turn around and sell it to you.
