The Reseller Hosting Pricing Model
Our pricing is built for maximum simplicity and maximum profit. There are no tiers, no complicated structures, and no hidden costs.
Wholesale Cost
You pay a wholesale price of approximately $2-3 per month per hosting account. This is your only cost. The wholesale price covers the hosting infrastructure, cPanel license, SSD NVMe storage, unlimited bandwidth, free SSL, daily backups, and all server management. There are no additional per-account fees, no bandwidth surcharges, and no feature upsells.
Your Retail Price
You set whatever retail price you want. There are no restrictions or price floors. Most successful resellers charge between $5 and $15 per month per hosting account, depending on their target market and the additional services they bundle. Premium positioning with managed services can command $20-30/mo or more. The retail price is entirely your decision.
Your Profit
Your profit is the difference between your retail price and the wholesale cost. If you charge $9.99/mo and the wholesale cost is $3/mo, your profit is $6.99 per account per month. That profit recurs every month for as long as the customer stays, creating compounding recurring revenue. There is no revenue sharing and no commission deduction.

How Our Pricing Compares to Competitors
Traditional reseller hosting programs charge monthly platform fees, require minimum commitments, and often take a share of your revenue. Here is how we compare.
| Cost Factor | Resell Web Host | GoDaddy Reseller | HostGator Reseller |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly Platform Fee | $0 | $49-149/mo | $19-75/mo |
| Setup Fee | $0 | Varies | $0 |
| cPanel License Fee | Included | Included | Included |
| SSL Certificate Cost | Free | $79.99/yr each | Free |
| Revenue Sharing | 0% | 30-50% | 0% |
| Minimum Commitment | None | Annual | Monthly |
| Bandwidth Overage | None | Metered | Metered |
| White Label | Full | No | Partial |
When you factor in monthly platform fees, the effective per-account cost with competitors is significantly higher. A GoDaddy reseller paying $99/mo in platform fees plus per-account costs needs dozens of customers just to break even on the platform fee. With Resell Web Host, every single sale is profitable from day one.
How to Price Your Hosting Plans
Your pricing strategy depends on your target market and the services you bundle. Here are three proven approaches used by successful resellers.
Budget Hosting ($5-7/mo)
Target price-sensitive customers with competitive rates. At $5-7/mo retail with a $3 wholesale cost, your margin is $2-4/mo per customer. Lower per-account profit but higher volume potential. This works well if you target small businesses, bloggers, or startups who are shopping primarily on price. Volume is your friend with this strategy.
Standard Hosting ($9-12/mo)
The sweet spot for most resellers. At $9-12/mo retail, your profit is $6-9/mo per account, which is a healthy 60-75% margin. This price point attracts small businesses and professionals who want reliable hosting without the premium price tag. You can compete with mainstream hosts while maintaining excellent margins.
Managed Hosting ($15-30/mo)
Bundle hosting with additional services like setup assistance, performance optimization, security monitoring, or WordPress management. At $15-30/mo, your margin is $12-27/mo per account. Higher prices require delivering more value, but the profit per customer is substantially higher. This works especially well for agencies and IT providers who already offer managed services.
Deposit Bonus — Maximize Your Margins
When you fund your reseller balance, deposit bonuses may be available that effectively reduce your per-account wholesale cost even further. A larger deposit means a bigger bonus, which translates directly to higher profit margins on every hosting account you sell.
