Shared Hosting and Reseller Hosting sounds similar and hence causes too much confusion in the website hosting arena. Let’s clear this up.

Shared Hosting

In shared hosting the web hosting company in UAE will host multiple accounts on one server. Hence the name shared. On the contrary, dedicated server hosting in Dubai is –one dedicated computer for one website.

On shared hosting plan, disk space comes cheap and websites usually run on Wordpress.

The benefits of shared hosting

• Inexpensive. Since resources are shared among multiple account holders  
• Maintenance and support
• User friendly etc.

Reseller Hosting

Reseller hosting is a variation of web hosting where the account holder or reseller has the provision to use their allotted disk space and bandwidth to host websites for other third party holders. The reseller acquires the host’s services and them sells them to other potential customers. A regular reseller host is a web developer. A reseller would offer a plan, in which the user would get access to their domain but maintenance is serviced by an external actor. 

Common characteristics that often include in the reseller packages are

Disc space, bandwidth, and domain hosting, exclusive support of hosting provider.

Benefits of reseller hosting includes low cost, increased space, low maintenance, greater control and income generation. A business can either use the full allotted space for itself or sell the unused space. For reseller hosting the unnecessary complications including security aspects can be negated.
