The scale of how big the company is will determine which program is best for them. Let’s first try to understand what each program is all about.

What Is Affiliate Program?

Affiliate programs are when a company pays you a commission for any sales they make through your recommendations (usually tracked via a URL). Mostly used by Bloggers and Social Media Influencers. We have also seen that a lot of Freelancers and small business use this method to get the extra income per clients and per sale.

• Support / On-Boarding (like Migration etc) is handled by TD Web Services.

• Usually used by Bloggers and Social Media Influencers to market it to their follower in order to monetize their efforts.
• A passive source of incomes; you are paid commission on each renewal. It’s like reseller hosting without additional efforts.

As an affiliate marketer, you’ll include one or more links to the hosting provider on your website, or offer them directly to clients. Every time someone uses one of your links to purchase a hosting plan, you’ll receive a commission. The amount can vary, depending on the individual hosting provider.

What Is Reseller Hosting?

Reseller hosting, refers to the selling of hosting plans alongside your current services. Deciding whether to pursue one or both of these avenues depends on the needs of you and your clients. There is a lot more flexibility with reseller hosting in terms of pricing as you are free to price the hosting service that you provide. Give more freedom in terms of pricing and profits.

Reseller Hosting is the first step towards starting a successful Hosting Company.

Advantages of Reseller Hosting

• You control the pricing and thus your profits not at mercy of commission.
• White Labeled; your clients will never know who is the actual provider.
• Makes your clients sticky, with recurring income and on-going dialogue keeps you in touch with clients and enables you to cross-sell a lot more.
• Additional Revenue; Hosting being of the most predictable revenue business. Gives you a clear foresight of your revenues.
• You additional work is limited only for the first contact; if the Hosting provider is good, rest if handled by them.

However, it’s important to remember that with reseller hosting, you’ll need to offer continued support to your clients. Web hosting can be a demanding line of work, which is why TD Web Services will be your backbone and will provide all L2 and L3 Support to ensure that your clients get 100% uptime.

Additionally, the quality of the service you provide will only be as good as the hosting provider you work can be. Therefore, you’ll want to take your time and find the best available option.

Who Are Channel Partners?
