| What
is a Reseller? A large number of the companies which
"sell" website space are actually selling it after
purchasing it from an original web hosting service. Somewhat like
the numerous phone companies reselling long-distance service using
lines and connections purchased from a larger long-distance carrier.
They purchase space in bulk, receive a discount on the service, and
offer it to their client companies. These are sometimes bundled
together in "complete service" offers, including website
design and/or e-commerce solutions.
What Advantages, Outside Web Hosting? Using a third-party
web hosting services allows any organization or individual to
acquire and maintain a website without having to acquire the actual
hardware required to become part of the World Wide Web. The third
party ideally maintains a staff of techno-wizards to keep the
equipment running in top shape, and deal with the problems which
arise in that particular environment.
