Buying Advice
How to choose: reseller hosting for agencies
A straight answer for web agencies turning client sites into recurring revenue: how to judge the options, what to skip, and the setup we'd recommend.
The short answer
If you only read one paragraph: the right pick is a WHM reseller plan sized to your client count — Reseller 1 carries the first hundred accounts under your own brand.
Everything below unpacks that recommendation — the judging criteria, the classic mistake, and how to verify any of it yourself before spending a pound.

This guide is written for web agencies turning client sites into recurring revenue. If that's you, the decision has a right answer — it just isn't the one the comparison-table industry is paid to give you.
One market fact frames everything here: agency reselling transforms unit economics — a build client worth one invoice becomes a subscriber worth a monthly margin indefinitely, and churn on hosted clients is famously low.
The four tests that matter
Here's the scorecard we'd use — and the one we invite you to hold us to:
WHM control with isolated cPanel accounts per client — one client's mess never touches another.
White-label everything, including private nameservers under your brand.
Overselling flexibility to price plans your way.
Per-client resource controls that make one runaway site a contained event.
Read this before comparing prices
Hosting client sites as addon domains on one shared account — one hack or suspension takes every client down together.
Once you know to look for it, it's visible everywhere in this market — and avoiding it matters more than optimising any other variable on the page.
The verdict
A WHM reseller plan sized to your client count — Reseller 1 carries the first hundred accounts under your own brand.
Concretely, that's our Reseller 1 option — priced flat, stocked with the essentials (SSL, migration, backups, email) that this market loves to sell separately, and upgradeable in place when your needs move.
Business email on your own domain is included, not sold back as an add-on.
The due-diligence checklist
Run the same tests on us as on anyone: message support before paying and see who answers, compare the renewal price to the signup price, read the refund terms end to end, and look the company up — ours is Bohzo Ltd, registered in England and Wales, and the record is public.
The refund window then covers the rest — move a real site (the free migration makes that painless), live with it for a fortnight, and let the daily experience make the decision the marketing pages can't.
Why our advice can afford to be honest
Most 'best hosting' content is paid ranking. Ours has a simpler incentive: we recommend the setup we'd sell you anyway, and we say so — which frees the rest of the page to be actually useful.
Business email on your own domain is included, not sold back as an add-on.
- Criteria you can test yourself
- Renewal prices printed, not footnoted
- Free migration makes trials painless
- A refund policy without traps

NVMe + LiteSpeed standard
The performance stack that premium tiers elsewhere charge for is simply how our plans ship.

- 1
Define the requirement in one sentence
One honest sentence about the workload beats an afternoon of feature-table comparison — write it before shopping.

Price year two, not year one
Teaser rates are this market's favourite trick — compare hosts on what year two costs and the field reorders itself instantly.

FAQ
Your questions, answered
What should an agency charge clients for hosting?
Market rate for managed care, not your cost — £15-30/month bundled with updates and small fixes is standard. Clients pay for accountability, not gigabytes; you're selling 'it's handled'.
What happens when a client leaves the agency?
Their cPanel account transfers cleanly — it's isolated by design. Professional exits protect your reputation, and isolation is what makes them painless.
Do prices go up at renewal?
No — the price you sign up at is the price you renew at. We don't run teaser-rate economics, so there's no year-two ambush to plan around, and your bookkeeping can rely on the number staying put.
What does your 24/7 support actually cover?
Real people at every hour, and a scope that includes the practical questions — email setup, DNS, WordPress issues, restores — not just 'the server is up, ticket closed'. Pre-sales questions are welcome too; ask us something difficult and judge the reply.
How long does it take to get started?
Minutes — hosting activates on payment, the domain (free for year one on annual plans) connects immediately, and one-click installers put WordPress or 400+ other apps live the same sitting. If you have an existing site, our team migrates it free, usually within 24 hours.
Do you include email with hosting?
Yes — mailboxes on your own domain come with every hosting plan, with webmail, IMAP/POP/SMTP access and spam filtering. Standalone email hosting also exists for domains whose websites live elsewhere.
Is SSL really included at no cost?
On every plan, with no exceptions — certificates are issued automatically when your domain points to us and renew themselves before expiry. The encryption is identical to paid DV certificates; paid tiers exist only for wildcard convenience or organisation-level validation.
