How do I set my reseller web hosting prices and plans?
Reseller web hosting is a competitive business, and it's likely to seem as if there's always another provider out there that charges less for its services than you do. The challenge in setting prices, keeping competitive and staying in business isn't necessarily to always be the cheapest host around, but to provide the best value to your chosen customer base.
Deciding what's of value to your customers first requires, of course, knowing who your customers are, what they need most and how much they are willing to pay for those products and services. You should also make sure your prices are competitive enough to provide a reasonable return for your time and efforts, after your costs. It's also a good idea to research the market and ask questions of other hosts and resellers to learn as much as possible about what does and doesn't work.
Finally, keep in mind that good service - treating your customers well at all times - can often be one of the most valuable things your business can offer, and can help you stand out from a crowded field of competitors.
