At ICDSoft, we've been running a web hosting business since 2001<\/strong>, and instead of investing heavily into marketing, we have decided to build tools to help others get involved while sharing the profit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike similar \"How to Start a web hosting business from home\" guides you can find online, the one we give you here takes a much more detailed approach, with real and working <\/strong>examples. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will show you how to create a real-life fully working webhosting company website <\/strong>(called HectoHost.com<\/strong><\/a>). Step by step, page by page with detailed instructions and video walkthroughs. Better yet, we will show you how to do it using nothing but free tools<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will only need a hosting account, but you don't even have to buy it from us. Else, you can go for our hosted version<\/strong>, which is absolutely free<\/strong>, with no hosting purchase required<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can check out the finished product <\/strong>at HectoHost.com.<\/a> The website is built with WordPress <\/strong>and Elementor<\/strong>. The reseller program is integrated into the website by means of our WordPress plugin<\/a> allowing you (the reseller) to accept real orders and payments online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tutorial builds on our previous post named \"How to Build a WordPress Website in 10 Steps<\/a>\", so it's a good idea to keep that post open in a tab for reference, if you are not familiar with WordPress\/Elementor. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
