Start A Web Hosting Service

White label web hosting or reseller hosting is the ability to re-sell another hosting company’s servers. The hosting service provider allows a white label reseller to take their platform and add their branding to offer the service to their customers.

A white label hosting reseller licenses existing technology, rebrands it to match the company’s logo and colors, and offers the service to their clients.

Here are some real life success stories of starting a web hosting service :
