The term Web Services simply states Web Based Software Application
Services; reseller is a middle-man who sells web services on someone
else’s server. Reselling schemes vary widely. They fall into the
following categories of Resellers:
Reseller acts as an Affiliate: People buy services directly from the web service company but the
reseller gets a cut if customer is routed through his website or
mention his name while placing an order. The service is advertised by
the reseller on his website via Banner, Text Links and word of mouth.
Reseller acts as a Marketer: People buy the services from the reseller but all further contact they
have is direct with the web service company. The service is advertised
by the reseller as being with the actual web service company.
Reseller acts as a Web Services Company: A customer buys web services from the reseller who buys web services
(at a lower price) from the actual web service company. Customers
contact the reseller for support. The reseller appears to be a web
service company in his own right, handling sales and support but
‘rebadged’ somebody else’s service. A variant on this scheme is that customers are invoiced by the web
services company in the reseller’s name and the reseller gets a cut.
Support will usually be via the reseller in order to keep up the
pretence that the reseller is a web service company in his own right.
Bulk Web Services Reseller: The reseller purchases a large chunk of web services and bandwidth from
the web services company and can then carve that into individual chunks
of space/bandwidth for sale to customers. Customers contact the
reseller for support. Reseller web services as a term includes a set of web services required
to run an online business provided by the resellers to clients at
large. The services include domain registration/renewal/transfer,
Windows web hosting, Linux web hosting, Email hosting, Cloud hosting,
SSL certificates, Website builders, Virtual private servers, Dedicated
servers and many more allied web based software application services.
Domain Registration/Renewal/Transfer – Unique name(s) on the World Wide Web providing a separate identity to your brand.
Windows web hosting – Suitable for small to medium size enterprises
looking for basic hosting services supported on windows operating
system. ASP.Net and MS SQL Database based Applications requires Windows
Servers.
Linux / UNIX Web Hosting – Suitable for small to
medium size enterprises looking for basic hosting services supported on
Linux operating system. PHP, Perl and Open source Database like MySQL,
PostGRE SQL based application requires Linux/Unix Servers.
Email Hosting - Suitable for small to medium size
enterprises looking for professional email hosting for themselves or
their company instead of using a free email service provider. One can
even register a domain name and only have email services on registered
domain name.
Cloud Hosting – Cloud Hosting Technology is
advanced new technology adapted by few web hosting providers. The
technology works over the fleet of computers called hosting cloud built
to meet certain goals set by the hosting provider. Upgrades are very
easy to achieve in Cloud Hosting Environment.
SSL Certificates – It is the standard security
technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and
a browser. The SSL protocol is used by millions of e-Business providers
to protect their customers ensuring their online transactions remain
confidential.
Website Builders - It is ready-to-use online tool
which requires NO technical or designing skills with the help of which
one can select a template, customize it and publish the same.
Virtual Private Servers – Suitable for medium to
large size enterprises outgrowing a shared hosting plan, but aren’t
ready for the financial commitment of co-location or Dedicated Server,
a VPS hosting plan could be the ideal middle ground.
Dedicated Servers – A dedicated server is a type of
web hosting system where the client leases a web server for themselves
only, and no-one else shares it. Having a secure private network can
give great peace of mind, particularly for firms who have sensitive
personal and financial information concerning their clients.
To conclude Web services resellers provide web services including
all the services required by individuals for running their online
empires smoothly under one roof. So if you are a newbie or an
established user willing to set up your online empire, the best way
would be to contact a web service reseller for availing the services at
reasonable prices without much technical hassle & pay for the
services that you require.
