How Can I Optimize My Reseller Account

Saving hosting resources and consequently costs requires optimizing the reseller account. Here are a few quick and easy methods to get the most out of your reseller account:

• Use standard HTML pages wherever possible as they do not consume a lot of resources.
• JavaScript is client based application and it does not take a lot of server resources, you can use it freely. Flash is also a client based application; however, you need to be careful with it as it might take up a lot of disk space.
• PHP, CGI (Pearl), SSI, MySQL and SSL are server intensive applications. Ensure that you are not using these applications just for the sake of using them as they take up a lot of resources. SSL is an exception here because you need to use it for enhanced website security.
• Be careful with the use of large images, MPEG files, MP3 files and any other media content. They might consume a lot of disk space.
• Keep a watch on the customers who set up unlimited mailboxes. This can quickly eat their disk space and thereby your disk quota.
• Inform your customers that spam mailboxes need to be checked and emptied at regular time intervals and they should not grow to become huge.

Signing up for a reseller hosting package is one of the most efficient ways of starting a web hosting business.
