Review: Reseller Hosting Guide

Reseller Hosting Guide (resellerguide.com) is a website with information about setting up a web hosting company by buying a dedicated server or a reseller hosting plan. This is a good online business because of the recurring monthly income.

First Impressions

The site design is clean. It doesn’t look bad but it is a little boring. There are not many colors, images, pictures, or icons so it doesn’t stand out from other sites. However, the site loads quickly.

The biggest problem I had with the design is the front page is too cluttered. Here is what I see on my screen.

Because of the clutter, I wondered which parts of the site were the most important. Was it the newest blog entries? Our should I click on the tabs? Then, there are the links on the top right. And what about the text on the yellow box? Is that important too? Basically, the front page has too many things going on.

I think the blog should go on a subfolder rather than the home page. And the owners don’t have to call it a blog if they don’t want to. They could call it the newest articles.

The front page could then highlight the steps to starting a web host company, which is found in the tabs and the category sidebar. That would be a front page that could help the reader who doesn’t know much about web hosting. This information on the front page would be better than the newest blog entries. And as people read the flagship articles in the proper order, then they would interested in the blog.

The tabs could then be the home page, the blog, and the top right links. Also, they could put a tab linking to the about page instead of leaving it on the footer. Also, the about page doesn’t have enough information. I think the owners could give more details about their experience in web hosting. Internet users expect more personal information from bloggers.

Content

The content is comprehensive. There are a lot of pages and informative articles. Reseller Hosting Guide also links out to useful resources like forum threads from a popular web hosting forum.

The blog is updated a couple times a month. The most important content is found by going to the posts in the categories. These posts form a comprehensive body over work on how to get started in reselling hosting.

The sitemap is a great place to see how the posts relate to each other. You can go through the sitemap and see the proper order of starting a web hosting company. Also, you can see the order by looking at the tabs and the categories sidebar. Here are the categories in the proper order.

As you can see, it’s organized and the categories are arranged in a step-by-step logical manner. Each of the categories has at least 15 articles, so you’ll be sure to learn a lot about running a web hosting company.

Reseller Hosting Guide covers everything from reseller host recommendations and marketing your company to naming your domain and tech support. Also, they have free hosting templates, which you can customize.

I learned a lot from reading a couple articles. If I wasn’t so technologically inept, I might start my own web hosting company using the Reseller Hosting Guide tips.

Conclusion

If you’re looking to start an online business and have an interest in web hosting, check our Reseller Hosting Guide for help, guidance, and advice. The navigation of the layout is not very intuitive especially for someone like me who doesn’t know much about web hosting. However, if you take your time and read through the posts based on the order of the categories, you’ll learn a lot.

    compliant with the law?…

    Take a serious look, and see if your website is breaking the law without you even knowing it. As far as the law is concerned…ignorance is no excuse. Avoid trouble…just take a minute and look!…
