Reseller hosting is a business model where you buy hosting resources wholesale from a provider like Hostiko and repackage them into your own branded hosting plans. Your customers sign up, pay, and manage their sites — all under your company name. We handle the servers, security, and backend; you focus on sales and customer relationships.
In Kenya, reseller hosting is one of the easiest digital businesses to start. There's strong demand from SMEs, freelance web designers, digital agencies, and IT consultants who want to offer hosting to their clients without running their own servers.
A Nairobi-based web designer buys a Hostiko reseller plan for KSh 1,500/month. They host 20 client websites on it and charge each client KSh 500/month.
Monthly revenue: 20 × 500 = KSh 10,000
Profit: KSh 10,000 − KSh 1,500 = KSh 8,500 recurring
Hostiko reseller plans are a natural fit if you already have — or plan to have — multiple websites to manage.
Deliver a complete package: design + hosting under your own brand. Charge a monthly retainer instead of one-off project fees.
Consolidate all client websites on one account. Easier billing, centralised backups, and a strong recurring revenue stream.
Bundle hosting with the IT services you already sell to SME clients. Retain them for longer with a sticky monthly contract.
Host multiple internal sites — staff portals, project pages, alumni sites — on one managed plan with a single invoice.
Start a standalone hosting brand in Kenya with zero server infrastructure. We handle the hard stuff; you build the business.
Run multiple sites — chapters, ministries, events — from one dashboard with shared logins for admins.
Four steps from sign-up to selling hosting under your own brand.
Choose the plan sized for the number of client accounts and total disk space you expect to need in the first year.
Point your own nameservers, set up your logo in DirectAdmin, and create your hosting packages with your own prices.
Create accounts in DirectAdmin WHM, send your clients their login details, and bill them via your preferred method (M-Pesa, card, bank).
Upgrade to a bigger plan — or a VPS — whenever you outgrow your current resources. Zero migration effort; we handle it.
Common questions from Kenyan resellers.
Yes. You run your own branded nameservers (e.g. ns1.yourbrand.com), a branded DirectAdmin login skin, and set your own prices. Your clients never interact with Hostiko.
No. You bill your clients however you like — M-Pesa Till/Paybill, bank transfer, direct debit, card. Hostiko only bills you, the reseller.
Your clients contact you (the brand they see). If the issue is server-side — disk full, mail blocked, PHP version — you escalate to Hostiko's support on their behalf.
Yes. Move between reseller plans anytime, with no migration. When you outgrow reseller, upgrade to a managed VPS and keep the same DirectAdmin setup.
No. Reseller hosting is a managed, shared environment where you create accounts via DirectAdmin WHM. A VPS gives you full root access but no WHM unless you install it yourself.
Register it under your account via our domain search and assign it to the client's DirectAdmin user. You can also use your reseller panel to register domains on their behalf.
