## Why Reseller Hosting is a Great Business Model
Reseller hosting offers predictable recurring revenue with low overhead. You buy hosting wholesale and sell it at retail under your own brand.
Setting Up Your Hosting Business
**Step 1: Choose your reseller plan** Pick a plan with enough resources to serve your target number of clients. Hostao reseller plans can include WHM access and billing automation software, depending on the active plan and checkout terms.
**Step 2: Brand your hosting** Use WHM's brand editor to add your logo, custom nameservers, and company details. Clients won't see Hostao at all.
**Step 3: Set competitive pricing** Research local competitors. Price 10–20% below the big hosts while offering better support.
**Step 4: Find your first clients** Start with friends, family, and your existing network. Local small businesses are often underserved by big hosting companies.
