Reseller hosting for web designers
By Micah Ondiwa, Senior Software Engineer 1 min read
Host client sites under separate accounts you manage — with clear agreements on support, billing and ownership.
Web designers often manage hosting for their clients. Reseller hosting makes that manageable.
Separate accounts
Each client gets their own account, isolating problems.
Plan capacity
Estimate the total storage and traffic of your client sites.
Define support
Agree what you handle and what is escalated.
Billing
Decide how you charge clients.
Ownership
Register client domains in the client's name.
Security and updates
You are responsible for keeping client sites updated and secure. Agree in writing who handles updates, what is included in your fee and how security incidents will be handled.
Backups
Make sure every client account is backed up and that you can restore a single site without affecting others.
Plan for growth
When client sites grow, move them to their own VPS rather than letting one site slow down everyone.
