Reseller Hosting or Multiple CPanel Hosting is a form of shared hosting that helps Web Professionals worldwide offer better management control to their customers. Reseller Hosting also allows webmasters who work as affiliates to make better profit margins. With Reseller Hosting, webmasters can start their own web hosting company which allows them to have complete control over a portion of a server’s resources (Disk Space and Bandwidth) that can be broken up into customized packages and sold to his customers based on their requirement.

Reseller Hosting is adopted more by Web Designers, Web Developers or Systems Integrators since it allows them the flexibility to offer hosting as an add-on service to their primary business model. It’s also an inexpensive way to make a profit as well as provide an additional service to your clients.
Here is an example of what one can earn being an affiliate with ResellerClub:

Reseller Hosting Resources:
* 50 GB WebSpace
* 1000 GB Bandwidth
* Host 30 Domains (Based on Resources Consumed)
* Price – Rs. 1150/month
** Web Masters Cost to Host/Domain: 1150/30 Domains = Rs 40/month per Website
** Minimum Market Charge to Host/Domain/Month = Rs 170/month
*** Profit Potential: 325%
A good hosting provider will offer useful features in addition to a Reseller Hosting package such as Email Hosting, Commercial Control Panels and Support for several different programming languages. It is very important to confirm what companies offer as control panels or language support. Ideally you should look for cPanel or plesk enabled with a WHM control panel since these are the most widely used Hosting Control Panels, and support a ton of plugins. An important feature to look out for is free WHMCS. It is a powerful business automation tool that helps you handle Billing, Support, Domain & Customer Management and more.
Multiple clients globally have set up their own Hosting Business using Reseller Hosting. Billing can also be done under your own brand name since most Reseller Hosting packages are white-labeled. Server administration and management will also be handled by your Reseller Hosting provider, in effect allowing you the time to serve your clients.
The Consolidation advantage of Reseller Hosting also helps ease management related issues since all your clients can be hosted on one package.
However, a Reseller Hosting package may not be the best option for everyone. Picking up a reseller hosting package could also mean pre-purchased inventory that you need to sell off immediately. If you are not able to fill the package quickly, you will be paying for more space and bandwidth than you actually need. A Reseller Hosting Package should be your first choice only if you are expecting enough customers to at least recover your package costs.
Providers such as ResellerClub & Hostgator have been offering such services for the past 10+ years, and we find them reliable enough to recommend. You will also find other unique promotions that can be used in sync with your Hosting. If you have considered buying Hosting, try their services out and tell us what you think.

Are you bothered about your Gmail account and other Google offered accounts like Google+ or YouTube, after your death ? Stop bothering now as Google has found a way to deal with all your accounts.
On Thursday the search engine giant introduced a feature called Inactive Account Manager which allows you to manage all your emails, videos and documents from your Google accounts like Gmail, YouTube, Picasa and Drive if your account is disabled for any unknown reason. This new feature is accessible from your Google account setting page
The “Timeout period” will allow you to set a time duration of your account. If you set a time period of three, six, nine or 12 months, then post that Google will delete or deactivate your account. Google in this new feature also allows you to share the data with an account of your trusted family member or friend.

If you are not accessing any of your Google accounts for couple of months or year, then Google will send an email to your secondary address or text reminder regarding account status before timeout periods are ended. According to Google, this new feature will enable you to protect your data from unauthorized access and plan your digital afterlife.
It’s a great move by Google to have an option to deactivate the account, remove all data from Google services(Youtube, Google+ profiles, Drive and Picasa) or pass it to your trusted friend or a family member, while other online services follow different approach which are a bit complicated to deal with this situation. We believe that this new feature is an easier way for the users to plan their digital life.

WordPress security is really a major concern these days. There is a massive attack going on right now and lot of WordPress blogs are getting hacked. If your site/blog is on a WordPress platform without any security and it is still not hacked, then possibility of getting hacked might occur in the future. Hence it is important to prevent your website from being hacked. There are some methods to secure your WordPress blog, we will show you few of them.

Keep A Strong Password:

If you use easy to guess passwords like “admin” or “123456″ then your site is most likely to get hacked. We recommend you to use strong passwords, which should be a combination of special symbols, numbers and upper/lower case alphabets. Anything like “WordPress!@12″ is a good example of a strong password which are tough to guess for the hackers. You can also check your password strength in the profile section of WordPress admin panel and accordingly set the password.

Change Your User Name:

The default WordPress login name is “admin” which is well known to the hackers, so it is very important to change the login name. Following are the steps to update the login name:
1) Login into the admin panel
2) Go to “Users” and click on “Add New” to set up a new user account
3) Enter the details of the new user and assign administrator role to this newly created user
4) Logout from the current user and login with the new user account
5) Select “All Users” from “Users” menu, check the box adjacent to the previous admin user by the name “admin” and press delete to remove the user.
6) When you are prompted with a message asking for deletion confirmation, select “Attribute all posts and links to” and select your newly added login name from the  drop-down to migrate all your post to your new login name. Press confirm to delete the user.

Upgrade Your WordPress:

The latest version of WordPress will  take care of all the new threats which are unable to fix by its predecessor. Hence it helps you to improve the security in order to prevent it from the hackers.
We suggest you check BlogSecurity and WordPress Development as they will keep you updated whenever any new version of WordPress is released .

Managing Users:

You should not give administrative privileges to all the users, as this will give them full control over your website. Therefore, you need to define the role of the other users with a limited authority to work on the blog.

Database Backup:

You should take the backup of entire database on a daily basis. There are free plugins like BackWPup and BackupBuddy which takes the database backup of your WordPress blog. Otherwise, ask your web hosting provider to backup your blog’s database.

Delete WordPress Version Information:

There are some themes or sites which contains the wordpress version in the meta tag. Hackers can easily retrieve this information and prepare the attack plan aiming the security vulnerability for that version of the blog. To remove the version info, see the below steps:
1) Go to your WordPress dashboard.
2) Select Theme Editor in Design.
3) On the right side of panel, click on Header File
4) On the left side, you see some codes, check for below line:
php bloginfo(’version’); ?>” />
5) Delete it and press update file.

Folder Protection:

The wp-admin folder contains all the website data, so it is very important to protect this folder. Use the plugin AskApache Password Protect to setup password protection to the folder and give access right only to authorized user.

Security Scan:

You can install the plugin WP Security Scan and carry out scan regularly for any security vulnerabilities. This plugin also allows you to change your database prefix from wp_ to any prefix of your choice.

Brute Force Attack:

A brute force attack is a method used to obtain information such as a user name or password by using automated software which generates a large number of consecutive guesses so as to get the desired data. Hackers can easily crack your password by this method. To prevent this from happening, you can install the login lockdown plugin. This plugin keeps the track of IP address and timestamp of every failed login attempt to your blog. Once a certain number of failed attempts are investigated, it will disable the login function for all requests from that IP range.

Hide You Plugins Folder:

Always make sure that you hide the plugin that you are using for your blog by uploading an empty html file to the plugin directory. In order to deploy blank html file, open your text editor and save the blank document as index.html. By using a ftp client, upload the index.html to the wp-content/plugins folder.
By applying all the above methods related to wordpress security, we ensure you that the chances of getting hacked will be very less to your blog.
