Simply put, a reseller buys products (usually at a discounted price) and marks them up by a bit in order to make a profit. VPS resellers are exactly the same, with the only difference being that they focus on selling VPS and cloud-based products.
Becoming a reseller in Nigeria means opening yourself up to many opportunities within the hosting industry. Using VPS hosting reselling as an example, you’ll want to source your products at a discounted price. This goes for any form of reselling.
But it takes more than just acquiring a product and marking it up. You need to add some value to make it worth-while, and describe the value you add creatively. Reselling in the hosting industry is an untapped market in Nigeria, so options like cloud, backups and web hosting reselling are all viable opportunities.
The first thing you'll need to do is find a supplier (we'd choose ourselves if we were you). After that, decide on the sales channel you're going to use and start marketing your offerings. This can be to current customers as a value add to your own offerings, or completely new clients.
Then similarly to the excellent support you receive from us, you'll need to support your clients the same way. We've got your back, you've got theirs.
The main benefits of VPS reselling is not having to run your own VM cluster or maintain infrastructure backups along with other technical admin tasks. Leave that to us while you run the business.
The term VPS encompasses all virtualisation methods. It's been said that "Cloud Hosting" is just someone else's computer. and this is true to some extent. However, the quality of the infrastructure and how reliable it is in the event of failover is what sets one host apart from another.
The fundamental idea of Cloud is reliability and uptime. Having multiple nodes ready to serve data provides redundancy and optimal uptime.
At HOSTAFRICA, we differentiate Cloud and VPS as follows: Cloud servers are virtualized machines that use KVM virtualization, allowing for both Unix and Windows hosts on optimized nodes which allow quick failover in the event of hardware failure.
VPS is a lightweight virtual machine that only runs Unix and shares many base OS functions with the main node. This technique allows more VM's per node compared to KVM and translates into cheaper virtual machines for clients.
