Adding resources as a reseller

We give resellers complete control and flexibility over what they include in their subscription plans. To facilitate growth and scalability, we also give resellers the ability to add resources on-the-fly. This means that you don’t have to worry if your customer-base suddenly grows 10 times; you just have to obtain more resources!

For example, we currently offer up to 9 packages for our VPS, cloud, and Windows servers. Depending on the number of virtual CPU cores, RAM, and storage you require, you can choose the appropriate package. However, if no package meets your needs, you can place an order with customised specifications. You can also add more cores, RAM, SSD, and IPs etc. to your server at a later time (e.g. when the number of visitors increase 10x).

Similarly, you can also add resources, or select add-ons for your reseller hosting accounts. You can choose more SSD storage, additional cPanel accounts, custom name-servers, or an SSL certificate.

Lastly, if you want to migrate existing accounts from a different provider, then we have got you covered. Our experienced migration team has helped migrate thousands of sites, for hundreds of clients. It doesn’t matter which control panel is being used; we can handle migrations from cPanel/ DirectAdmin/ Plesk/ CentOS Panel/ Interworx, or any other control panel or hosting company.

  • You are spoilt for choice. HOSTAFRICA offers various pricing tiers and subscription plans, giving you the ultimate freedom of choice.
  • All-inclusive. Our web-hosting reseller programs contain everything you need to get started. From free SSL, to disk space, databases, and more.
  • Personalised, premium support. Our talented support team is available via live chat, and email tickets.
  • Feature-rich offerings. From 1-click WordPress install, to automatically created DNS records; from 99.99% uptime to seamless WHMCS integration; our reseller programs have it all!
  • Fully white-labelled. This means that you have the freedom of selling our offerings, as your own products!

Yes, they are. At HOSTAFRICA, security is our top-most priority. While VPS resellers are responsible for securing their own servers, we provide the following security measures for reseller web hosting servers. Note, that we are not responsible for your client’s website security.

However, we do offer free optional SSL certificates to boost your web hosting reselling. SSL certificates encrypt data, as it flows between servers and client browsers, making it indecipherable for everyone other than the intended receiver. This ensures that all customer information, like payment details, passwords, and account numbers always stay protected.

Moreover, we perform automated incremental backups of all web hosting servers and data. With ransomware attacks on the rise, doing so is imperative. All in all, we guarantee 99.99% uptime for your customers’ websites.

We source our hardware infrastructure from industry-leading providers, which is tried and tested for high availability and reliability. We follow an active patching approach, and regularly scan our entire infrastructure for any vulnerabilities and/or risks.

Last, but not least, we perform active, 24/7 monitoring of all our web servers. This ensures early detection of any potential attacks, which significantly reduces your chances of your web hosting getting compromised.
