Becoming a host: web, VPS or Pterodactyl reseller?

Reselling hosting, in practice

Being a reseller means renting a pool of resources from a host, splitting it for your own customers and setting your own prices. You handle the customer relationship and billing; the infrastructure (servers, network, DDoS protection) stays the host's job.

The real question is: what do you want to sell? Websites, full virtual servers, or game servers? Each one matches a type of reseller plan.

Web reseller: for agencies and freelancers

You host your clients' websites: showcase sites, WordPress, online stores. Each client gets their own space in Plesk, isolated from the others, with their domains, email and SSL certificate.

• Unlimited clients and domains on every plan: only total disk space changes.
• You set each client's disk quota, number of domains and features.
• Automatic Let's Encrypt SSL and DDoS protection for every site.

At VexCloud, the web reseller plan starts at €1.99/month for 50 GB (RVD-01), then 100 GB at €3.99 and 150 GB at €4.99.

Best for: a web agency, a freelancer offering hosting with their websites, an association hosting several organisations.

VPS reseller: to sell full servers

You sell VPS: real KVM virtual machines with root access, on which your clients install whatever they want. You create and manage them from Proxmox VE (snapshots, noVNC console, API).

• A pool of vCores, RAM and NVMe storage that you split freely.
• IPv4 included, 4 to 24 depending on the plan, to assign one per client. Additional IPv4 at €1/month, free IPv6 on request.
• Example split: an RVD-VPS-16 (8 vCores, 16 GB) hosts 4 VPS with 2 vCores and 4 GB.

The VPS reseller plan starts at €12.49/month (RVD-VPS-16: 8 vCores, 16 GB RAM, 250 GB NVMe, 4 IPv4).

Best for: launching a VPS offer under your name, an agency giving each project an isolated server, a SaaS with one instance per customer.

Pterodactyl reseller: for game servers

You sell game servers: Minecraft, Rust, CS2, FiveM, and hundreds more through Pterodactyl "eggs". The Pterodactyl panel is installed and configured for you.

• Each client has a sub-account and only sees their own servers, with the rights you choose.
• Live console, file manager and SFTP access per server.
• The pool's memory is shared freely between servers.

The Pterodactyl reseller plan starts at €10.49/month (RVD-16: 6 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 100 GB NVMe).

Best for: a game host, a community, or a Minecraft or FiveM server network.

How to choose?

• Your clients have a website and don't want to touch a server → web reseller.
• Your clients want their own server with root access → VPS reseller.
• Your clients want a ready-to-use game server → Pterodactyl reseller.

In all three cases the infrastructure is the same: servers at Equinix PA6 in Paris, upstream + XDP DDoS protection, monthly billing with no commitment. Compare every plan on the pricing page.
