• $39.99/month
• 100 cPanel Accounts
• 150GB NVMe SSD Storage

You, as the reseller can charge any price you like to sell your hosting accounts. In this example, we will put a reasonable selling price of $3.99/month for a shared hosting plan.

This means a reseller only needs to sell 10 hosting plans to break even. If the reseller sold 50 at this price, there would be a profit of $159.51. The more you set the more you can earn and this brings us nicely on to the next benefit of reseller hosting:
