What is Standard Reseller Hosting?
Standard reseller hosting lets you buy hosting resources in bulk and sell them to individual clients under your own brand — without managing any server hardware.
White-Label Ready
Your clients only see your brand. Set your own company name, logo, and private nameservers. We stay completely behind the scenes.
Full WHM Control
Create, manage, suspend, and delete client hosting accounts from your WHM dashboard. Define resource quotas and feature sets per package.
Grow at Your Pace
Start with 15 accounts and upgrade to 60 as your client base grows. No downtime, no data loss, no disruption to existing clients.
Enterprise Infrastructure
Your clients get the same LiteSpeed + NVMe SSD + CloudLinux stack used on our direct hosting — fast, secure, and reliable.

How to Start a Web Hosting Business with Standard Reseller
A step-by-step guide to launching your own hosting brand using our reseller platform.
- 1
Choose Your Reseller Plan
Select the Standard S, M, or L plan based on how many client accounts you plan to host. You can always upgrade later with no downtime. Most new resellers start with Standard S (15 accounts) and upgrade as they grow.
- 2
Set Up Private Nameservers
In WHM, create two private nameservers (e.g. ns1.yourdomain.com and ns2.yourdomain.com) pointing to our servers. Register these nameservers at your domain registrar. From this point, all your clients use your nameservers — HostRainbow is never visible.
- 3
Create Hosting Packages
Use WHM's 'Add a Package' feature to define hosting tiers you'll sell to clients — disk space, bandwidth, email account limits, database limits, and features. Create separate packages for Basic, Standard, and Pro tiers to match your pricing model.
- 4
Create Client Accounts
When a client signs up, create their cPanel account in WHM in under 60 seconds. Assign a package, set their domain, and the account is ready. Clients log in directly to cPanel — they'll never see WHM or HostRainbow branding.
- 5
Set Up Billing (Optional)
Integrate WHMCS, Blesta, or HostBill to automate client billing, invoice generation, and account provisioning. Many resellers start with manual invoicing and add billing software as their client base grows.
- 6
Grow Your Client Base
Market your hosting brand through social media, web design portfolios, local business networks, and SEO. Offering website design + hosting bundles is one of the most effective strategies for web developers and agencies.
Who Should Use Standard Reseller Hosting?
Standard reseller is designed for independent professionals who want to add hosting to their service offering.
Web Designers & Developers
Bundle hosting with your web design services. Earn recurring monthly revenue from every client site you build — without any extra infrastructure management.
Digital Marketing Agencies
Offer hosting as part of your agency's service stack. Keep clients under one roof, control their hosting environment, and add a reliable revenue stream.
Freelancers Scaling Up
If you manage 3–5 client websites on separate accounts, moving to a reseller plan centralises management and reduces costs significantly.
Small Hosting Startups
Standard reseller is the lowest-risk way to test the web hosting market before committing to a VPS or dedicated server.
Standard Reseller FAQ
Common questions about our standard reseller hosting.
Standard Reseller Hosting gives you a WHM (Web Host Manager) account that lets you create and manage individual cPanel hosting accounts for your clients. You purchase a block of resources (disk space, bandwidth) from us and divide them among your customers under your own brand.
Depending on your plan, you can host between 15 and 60 cPanel accounts. Each account can host one or multiple websites depending on how you configure the package limits.
No. With full white-label branding you set your own company name, logo, and private nameservers. Clients only see your brand — HostRainbow remains invisible.
WHMCS is included in our Standard L plan. For Starter and Medium plans you can integrate any billing software of your choice, including open-source alternatives.
Yes, you can upgrade seamlessly at any time with zero downtime. All existing client accounts remain active during the upgrade.
Every client account comes with cPanel, the industry-standard control panel, which includes file manager, email, databases, one-click installer, and more.
