    Hi
    Which is more profitable?
    Reseller Program
    where you join a top webhosting company and add their ecommerce storefront on your site
    OR
    Referral/ Affiliate links
    Where you sign up directly with the webhosting company or affiliate networks like CJ and just put links/ banners on yr site to refer visitors to webhosting site. You can add other content to your site like blogs/articles etc.

    Reseller program is upfront and fewer steps for visitor compared to affiliate links. Reseller program will be single product while affiliate links can be multi-product where you can promote other webhosting companies as well.
    For reseller program, you can create your own affiliate program which will be sub-affiliates to the mother webhosting company.

    Thanks :)

    The reseller version requires time for setting up account and support to your customers but you can get more money in a long period of time if the customer stays with you. In the affiliate version you get more money upfront per conversion. :)
