What is the main differences between shared and reseller hosting?

[manoharparakh]

Shared Hosting Accounts are meant for one owner and come with one cPanel. You can host unlimited domains on a shared plan by adding domains to the “Addon Domains” section of cPanel. Reselling is not permitted on shared hosting plans.

Reseller Hosting Accounts are meant for one owner who wishes to resell hosting and essentially act as their own hosting company. Depending on which reseller plan you choose, you can have anywhere from 10 to 250 separate cPanel accounts. So, with a reseller account, you can set up each domain name with its own cPanel.

Additional advantages to having a reseller account include:

The ability to have multiple IP addresses or multiple SSL certificates

(SSL certificates and additional IP addresses incur an additional fee).

The ability to control DNS zones.

The ability to use Private name servers.
The ability to use Anonymous name servers.
Brandable Control Panel.
Hosting billing system.
eNom domain account.
Site builder
for your Clients.

A shared hosting plan is intended for a single owner. No reselling is allowed on the shared hosting plans as it may affect other server users adversely. Only one control panel is provided for all the domains. A Reseller Hosting plan is for those who want to resell hosting.
