Directory Marketing: Dec 8, 2007

If it seems that there are almost an endless amount of opportunities to be had in making money on the internet, you would not be very far off in thinking so. Web hosting has traditionally been one of the very first areas that aspiring entrepreneurs explore in this regard. This is quite understandable given the fact that web hosting is the very foundation upon which most of the internet is built and as such the potential for future growth and expansion - not to mention significant profits - are considerable.

Of course the financial costs involved in starting up your very own web hosting company can be somewhat steep. A healthy part of your budget will in all likelihood be swallowed up by the cost of the computer equipment alone. Add to that the cost of the networking equipment, software and a team of highly qualified I.T. personnel (this last one being of utmost importance in ensuring that you are able to deliver the quality of service that your customers will have come to expect) and you can see how the costs can quickly spiral out of control, beyond the reach of the typically cash strapped startup entrepreneur.

In light of the challenges that typically meet the aspiring web host, a veritable host of support industries have cropped up in its wake in order to accommodate those who may wish to enter the web hosting arena but unfortunately do not have the financial means to do so. Affiliate domain name reselling is one such industry and it is tailor made for those who do not wish to get as deeply involved in the intricacies of web hosting as fully fledged web hosts and web masters. Many primary web - hosts offer such programs and they are the ideal way for 3rd parties to sell the services of the parent web hosting company without having to deal with technical issues. The arrangements will vary from company to company but as an affiliate, you can expect to be generally free from tasks such as system updates and maintenance and customer support for the end users. In many cases the parent web-host even handles the billing as well. In general, it is safe to say that your only role as an affiliate domain name reseller is to sell the parent web hosting company's services to your clients after which you are basically out of the picture. Surely this is the most pain free and hassle free way of breaking into this lucrative web hosting industry!

Again the arrangements between primary web host and affiliates will differ from case to case but as an affiliate you can typically expect to receive a commission with every successful referral or end user that signs up for the primary web hosting company's services.

An increasingly popular arrangement is hosting a banner ad on your web site that directs traffic to the primary web host's site. For each web user that browses to the web host's site from yours you will receive a commission.
