Two ways to host clients.

INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS

You buy a separate hosting account for each client, in their name or yours.

Simple, and it becomes expensive and unmanageable past a handful.

Each has its own billing, its own login, and no central view.

RESELLER HOSTING

One account with an allocation you divide into cPanel accounts for clients.

WHM gives you central management: creating accounts, setting packages, suspending, and seeing everything in one place.

WHAT RESELLING GIVES YOU

A lower cost per client Central management Your own branding The ability to set your own packages and prices Control over the whole set

WHEN INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS ARE BETTER

Two or three clients, where the reseller plan's cost is not justified Clients who want to hold their own hosting relationship A client whose requirements differ substantially from the rest

THE CROSSOVER

Usually around five clients. Below that, individual accounts are simpler. Above, reselling pays.
