We also provide full assistance as and when required to be able to setup the billing systems, setup the payment gateway and connect them to the control panel to be able to have automated deployment of services to your customers as soon as they make a successfull payment.

Can I pay monthly?

Absolutely. You have the flexibility to pay monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually or triennially.

Due to the way the market dynamics work, the longer that you pre-pay, the sweeter the deal on the web hosting package you choose. A triennially paid package could cost upto 70% lesser than a monthly paid one.

How does the Pay Per Account reseller package work?

We understand that in the webhosting business, hoarding stock till the time the inventory gets sold can get a lot of your capital locked up. In order to fix this problem, our exclusive and popular 'Pay Per Account' based Reseller accounts with cPanel/WHM and Softaculous allows you to buy a account from us only after you already have a customer. This way, you can use your capital for other things like promotions and sales instead of locking it up in unused inventory.

A very special USP of the 'Pay Per Account' package is that you can pool the resources across the number of accounts you buy.

For example, if you buy 4 'Pay Per Account' packages and if each comes with 25GB space and 250GB bandwidth, you effectively have 100GB space and 1TB bandwidth and inventory to create upto 4 accounts. You can effectively go ahead and give a customer 70GB space and the other 3 customers 10GB each.

How you use the pooled resources are your choice.
