So would I be able to change my billing choice? Example, let's say starting out I choose the option that's the amount for a monthly billing, can I later change that to a 6 month, 12 month, etc billing/pricing?
Before starting hosting biz, learning to do it for myself first... should I use word press or other for website creation and design? Also should I start with regular hosting while learning to create websites then upgrade to reseller plan when ready?
Hey Bryce!!! I just bought a server and I can't figure out how to add a theme package to my web hosting manager. If anyone could help that'd be amazing!
Thanks for this video, I want to ask. Is it possible when a client orders, the system will automatically create a client cpanel account, without creating it manually as you show on video? and a2hosting have automatic billing? Thanks buddy!
I know this is late, but do you also have a business name/website for your hosting company. What would that branding look like, seeing as it's mirrored off of A2?
Once you add a new client under your list of accounts, is that considered you hosting for them? Are they then able to stop paying companies like godaddy every month?
Nice Video! Thanks Bryce, really appreciate. Regarding the location of the server, you should consider also the legal issues. For example, since I do work sometimes with German insitutional clients, they won't allow to host their webpage outside Germany. Kind of makes sense.
You did help me a lot, Bryce. But I do have a doubt, what if my clients have a basic website? Will I have to help them set up a better website? Cause I don't really see how me hosting their sites affects the overall outlook of it. If you could please clarify it for me I would be really grateful.
The reason you would get someone to switch hosting over to you is because you would offer something they aren't getting . Like a better price. obviously building a website for someone would be for those who know how do build websites.
If you can’t sell your company to a customer then you don’t need to be in sales. I tell every sales person that. You have to sell your company. And I would start with customer service.
Thank you for the video! How do you approach the client about being their host? How do you sell them on using you vs one of the big guys (Bluehost, HG, etc.)?
I have a question, really hope you or someone can get back to me on this.. Why would a client choose you for a web hosting service instead of going to a prominent web hosting service provider?
Personalized service. They can call me up directly rather than being directed to a call center in India. Lots of times, customers don't even know what they need or the terminology. I can help decipher that much easier.
Easy. They send me an email, and then I fix it? How else would I go about it? That’s my target clientele - completely non-technical people. I get paid to manage everything from start to finish, because they don’t know how to (nor do they want to.)
@@BryceMatheson it doesn't make sense, how in the world do you have enough time to reply to all 50-100 or whatever clients you host, and fix their WordPress\drupal\whatever issues? It'll be a full time job..I don't get it.. is the support you provide them limited in scope, do they understand what you can and what you cannot do for them?
@@babyfox205 Sounds to me like you’ve had a terrible experience in the past. Never ever have I had all 100 clients reach out to me at once. Very rarely does even one client reach out. Once the website is finished, it’s smooth sailing. As long as websites don’t go down, clients are happy. And I’ve never had a website go down.
@@Coolguy-do9dw I’ve had a lot of students have success with advertising. For your first clients I recommend starting small, and using family and friends. Get the hang of it first before you start hosting websites for actual clients.
Not just a few months. Several years. And if you do it right, it’s incredibly simple. I feel like I could easily take on 500-1000 clients part time. And I mean, that. I rarely spend more than 30 minutes per month managing it all. Very passive.
Is this business model for web developers only, or can I get customers just with hosting company? I am working in some other field, please give your advise
In depth inquiry: Do I need any permit or license to run web hosting company of my own, since it is a form of business too? Currently, I reside at United Arab Emirates and my wife resides at Michigan. Unfortunately, here in UAE, I have to get a business/professional license to do an online startup. I would like to know what are the legal restrictions or regulations from your perspective at US?
Yes I totally agree. After lots of frustration with cloudways, I moved to bluehost and I have never looked back ever since. At least in my opinion, they are really customer friendly and do everything to keep their customers happy. From my experience, their $3.95/month plan is more than enough to start with www.bluehost.com/track/discountvd/
I don't know what u call this like acting like a second third party web host. Please share how I can build my own without using a third party web hosting service and passing it off as my own. I just want to know this because I have big plans for my company in the web 3 space
They have access to Cpanel, they could setup their own SSL. Or you could always offer a "premium" SSL. I would do a one-time fee, people like convenience but not enough for a subscription.
"Cut out the middle man". Isn't a hosting reseller the perfect example of "the middle man"? Not that I'm knocking it, but that's funny. We most certainly are middle men (and women)!

Is there a way to wait to get the first order before buying reseller hosting
Hey Bryce!!! I just bought a server and I can't figure out how to add a theme package to my web hosting manager. If anyone could help that'd be amazing!
Thanks for this video, I want to ask. Is it possible when a client orders, the system will automatically create a client cpanel account, without creating it manually as you show on video? and a2hosting have automatic billing? Thanks buddy!
You can. You get WHMCS with it, which is for managing clients and hosting accounts. Your clients can login and manage their services using it.
You can also get clientexec which is cheaper and does same thing.
How can you buy the reseller again after the period of the hosting end as a seller?
i live in australia was wondering if i should use a2hosting still even though id be working with clients primarily in australia
great video, do you have any recommendations on how to get domain names in a similar way?
Thank you so much 💯

Thank you so much for the info..really means alot..

Make your price cheaper
For the initial stage inform everyone in your circle. Then the paid social media campaigns will give you more clients.
I legitimately would like to know this as well ..
Thanks! How you get pay from your clients?
bryce how to start your course how web desing on word pres tank let me kwon
Bryce how are you.. If i may ask.. What of domain registration..do they offer that service as well.. If not how do i go about it.. REGARDS...
How about Philippines is this useful
Whats the incentive for clients to get hosting from resellers instead of directly from the host? Are there additional services?
Not necessarily. It’s more for the customer service. And my server is infinitely more quick than BlueHost or Hostgator.
I have a question, really hope you or someone can get back to me on this.. Why would a client choose you for a web hosting service instead of going to a prominent web hosting service provider?
Personalized service. They can call me up directly rather than being directed to a call center in India. Lots of times, customers don't even know what they need or the terminology. I can help decipher that much easier.
How much do you charge for the hosting?
How do the clients pay you?
cool mat how are you getting customers?
well well well….what do we have here den, This is Goooood. 😀

is it possible to be A2 hosting yourself? if so can you make a video on that
Where is the contract between the client and yo I r company? Also if the server goes down, who is responsible for it getting back up and running????
The contracts are in my full course. And the company that I buy hosting through takes care of the downed server.
Hey Bryce Matheson,
You did such a great job describing the entire process in one video for all new bees. Amazing content is ever seen.
Thank you!
Will I be able to host Magento 2.4 website.
In A2 who will take care of the customer support
Yes you can host magneto, but I don’t believe A2 can offer support for that.
@@BryceMatheson Thanks for the update and the guidance... I am just seeing the message you sent me ... sorry for the delayed reply
He fails to mention a2 hosting plans dramatically increase after a year they are far from cheap. £373 for 12 months after your discounted year LOL
You've had this income stream for several months? Where is the scalability of this? I don't think I'd be able to handle more than 80 clients myself.

At least here in the US, we don’t have to have any sort of formal licensure. I’m not so sure how it works where you live though, unfortunately.
Can you also just use it to host your own site too?
Of course! I do this all the time.
