Introduction

Linux web hosting has many advantages over hosting on a Windows platform as is becomming an increasingly popular option for hosting websites of all sizes.. below we examine the benefits of hosting on a Linux server, then move onto what terminology you may see when looking at Linux hosting company websites, and how to choose a Linux web host.

Benefits of Linux Hosting

1. Security – A well configured Linux web server can be very secure. Firewall, antispam and antivirus services for your email can be deployed with ease by a skilled server administrator. There are patches available for the Linux kernel to increase security as well as configuration tweaks that can be made to Apache and PHP.
2. Price – Linux hosting can be MUCH cheaper than windows hosting because web hosting companies offering linux hosting do not need to pay License fees for the server software they use, hence these savings are often passed onto the customer.
3. Performance – This is where Linux powered hosting can truely excel – because of the configurability of the Linux kernel and core hosting software such as the Apache webserver, a Linux based server can be tuned precisly to meet the needs of the websites it hosts.

There are a few different types of programs that all go by the name of reseller program. Some involve becoming the middle man for a hosting company to actually resell their product. Depending on the program you may or may not be responsible for the needs of the clients (such as; billing, support, etc.) The type of reseller program we advocate is for webmasters who are looking to host a lot of web sites with a single web host.

Many web hosts will give users a significant price break if they are hosting a lot of web sites with them. Essentially this type of reseller program is the webmaster “reselling” the hosting service to him/herself and the webmaster does not have to deal with any billing, support, or hosting issues. The host handles these for this type of reseller program.

Do I need a reseller program?

For the webmaster who is looking to host numerous web sites on a single web host, look for a web host who offers reseller discounts.
