How much should you charge people for web hosting? This is a question new reseller hosts ask over and over again. How can I compete with -Insert Company- with that price? Why would anyone buy my hosting when they can get hosting from -Insert Company- for $X? This is how I can quickly spot a […]

How To Resell G Suite To Your Hosting Customers
I love learning about our Resellers and their businesses! Last week I had a conversation with a potential new Reseller and we were talking about Reselling G Suite to his customers. As I’ve posted about before, shared hosting can be quite the challenge sometimes for clients with high email demands. It only makes sense to […]
How To Register A Domain For Your Direct Sales Business
A lot of direct sales companies have blown up in recent years with the rise of social media. Companies such as Scentsy, Lularoe, Lev-Vel, etc. have leveraged these platforms through their armies of independent consultants to do some astronomical revenues (I think Scentsy is doing somewhere north of $400MM a year). I know this first […]
How To Install WHMCS On A Subdomain
I recommend that a lot of “beginner” Reseller web hosts use WordPress to create the “front end” of their hosting website. This makes it especially easy for those that don’t know HTML as you can find thousands of professional looking web hosting templates to have your site online in a short amount of time. While […]
When Is The Best Time To Market Your Reseller Hosting Business?
Prior to starting Name Hero, I spent six years exclusively doing digital marketing. Managing multi-million dollar ad budgets along with developing a patent-pending tracking and analytics platform, it’s safe to say I learned a thing or two about the best times to market to potential customers. One thing every marketer must be aware of and […]
How To Setup A WordPress Staging Environment
I used to joke with my former business partner about making live site edits. When you have a website that your customers depend on logging in/ordering the last thing you want to do is make a live site edit. Based on nearly two decades working online, I always like to plan for the unforeseen. What […]
We Do Not Allow Adult Content (Or Other Online Scams)
If you read our terms of service and acceptable use policy, you already know what I’m about to type. However I recently had a potential customer argue me saying we didn’t have this in our agreements (we do), so I figured I’d make a blog post about it to have everything in one place :). […]
Why You Should Use A Reseller Account When Hosting Multiple Websites
We often get asked about what package potential customers should go with if they need hosting for multiple websites. While our Basic Plus and Basic Business package allow the ability to host unlimited domains, you should only use these for your own internal sites. If you have clients or other websites in multiple niches, the […]
Name Hero Coupons – Our Summer Sizzler Promotion Is Live
Each season we run specials on our hosting packages for new customers. Since I came online in 1998 summer time has been the slowest month for web hosting because a lot of people are enjoying their time outdoors / on vacation hence not working on their website. I can personally vouch for this, the last […]
