Essentially, it\u2019s a cPanel account that sells other cPanel accounts.

A hosting provider owns a building (server) and he or she uses WebHost Manager (WHM) to rent out space to a site owner who uses cPanel. If this site owner has a reseller account, then they can further rent out the space that they\u2019ve purchased to other people in search of hosting.<\/p>\n<p>This tiered system may sound tricky at first, but its very beneficial. It gives any web tinkerer the ability to also become a web host, at very little cost. However, as their operation grows, resellers may find that they\u2019re in need of virtual private or dedicated hosting. When that day arrives \u2014 cPanel &amp; WHM will still be on their side.<\/p>\n<p>Ask your hosting provider how you can become a reseller or <a title=\"cPanel &amp; WHM reseller account knowledge base.\" href=\"http:\/\/documentation.cpanel.net\/display\/CKB\/Guide+to+Reseller+Accounts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">read more about this unique account type in our Knowledge Base<\/a>:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A reseller account is a special cPanel account that gives unique privileges to its users.
