How to maximize your profits with any Hosting Company

Posted by Luis Posselt in Learn Joomla

As a Joomla Web Designer or any other type, it is essential that you know Hosting Companies offer a lot of promotions to build your brand and get more revenue directly to you. Now, probably what I’m going to be talking in here is very simple and some people will already know about it, but for new entry gamers on Web Design, this will be a Gold Mine on their hands to get more money.

Affiliates and resellers programs are a great way to expand your business brand. They not only will help you maximize your revenue but to present your customers a better and more professional hosting support of your own.

Let me start talking about Hosting Affiliates. These small programs are incentives that Hosting companies give you every time you sign up a new customer. The payment range from $50 to $120 per customer, although there are a lot of hosting companies, I’m going to show you some of the best Hosting Affiliates out there that will help you in your Joomla designs.

You will have the option to sign up and recommend the hosting company you want to use. But if you are developing Joomla websites, I will recommend you use Linux servers with a C-Panel utility. Use Godaddy.com as your last resource while working with Joomla. Have in mind that choosing a Hosting company that offers you unlimited features will open the door to host more than 5 Joomla websites in one account. In that case, you can offer your clients the first year for Free on Hosting without expending any extra money. After the year you can decide if your charge them for the next year or make them sign up for an affiliate.

I personally host my sites with Fastdomain.com and I have been with them for over 2 years.

They have a great customer service, great price, and great features.

Now, what about Reseller Programs? The good thing about resellers is that you are going to be your own hosting company. You will be able to pay a big hosting company a monthly fee so you can create your own hosting services. Moreover, you will offer all of your clients a personal Hosting Account with a C-Panel integrated, as well as several other features to work with. In other words this gives the impression that you you’re your own hosting company, which in fact you do, but most of the heat is going to be taken by the Hosting Company you are working with. (I am referring to the technical issues and billing.)

Here a few companies with Reseller Programs. Again always go with the ones that work under Linux servers and come with the C-Panel utility.
