Virtual ISP : Pro-10 web hosting

The Cozahost Pro virtual web hosting package enables you to become an ISP - immediately and with no capital outlay.  

This means you can provide web and email hosting services directly to your clients - even appoint your own resellers to resell your hosting services. 

You define your own products, at your own price and under your own brand.

In a nutshell, it works like this:

* Cozahost supply technology, services, capacity and resources to you in bulk - at much reduced prices.

* You bundle these services into your own product offerings and sell your own products to your clients / resellers under your brand.

The advantage of this approach is that you build your own business (your own brand) -  your clients need not even be aware of Cozahost's involvement. 

Because you buy in bulk you get very significant discounts which you can pass on to your clients...or not.  It's your business.

For example, you are provided with 3Gb disk space, 10 domains, 500 POP3 accounts and 81 GB of bandwidth in your pro hosting package.  Using your own control panel (you can brand the control panel with your own logo and company name) you can create your own products, user accounts and policies.

Let's say you create a "Lite" hosting product where you charge your clients R 95.00 per month for 20 Mb of hosting space, 10 POP3 accounts and 300 Mb of bandwidth.  You have now "sub-divided" the resources at your disposal into packages that suit your target market's needs. 

It is much the same as a wholesaler purchasing a ton of apples and re-packaging the fruit into thousands of smaller packages that can be re-sold individually.

(In this example you can resell your resources to 10 domains and generate R 950 in turnover, ie R 591.00 profit.)

The resources provided in the pro hosting package can be increased in small increments so that you have the power to tailor-make your own unique products.  All the essential hosting resources (like POP3 accounts, disk space, bandwidth, etc) can be individually incremented at low cost.  Your particular target market may use more disk space than POP3 accounts, so you would buy more space and less email accounts...giving you the power and flexibility to build your own hosting business that is profitable and successful from the word go.

Part of our success at Cozahost stems from the fact that we do not offer sub-standard products or gimmicks to make a quick buck.  Everything we sell to our own clients are available to you:  The same facilities. The same technology.  The same state of the art products. 

The same resources we used to build Cozahost into a multi-million rand company.

We are in it for the long haul (since 1999!) and we value long term partnerships with our clients. We expect that our resellers have the same values, therefore the reseller product is in all ways equal to the best you can find on the market.  As normal, our service are backed by an unconditional life time quality guarantee.

We are able to deliver at a large discount to our resellers because a) we do not directly support their end users and b) our resellers build a long term and mutually profitable relationship with us.

Here follows a summary of the most important features:


 
Features in basic Pro-10 virtual ISP hosting package
 
Your Pro hosting virtual ISP account allows you to resell services immediately because it includes more than enough resources to make a profit from the word go.

It is your decision to sell services yourself, appoint resellers to resell your services or a combination of both.  The packages you design and the prices you charge are entirely up to you and what you think will fit your target market.
 

 * Windows 2003 Server
  Hosting is provided on a Windows 2003 server platform.  
 * Integrated billing and payment system
  Use your control panel for billing, invoicing, client statements and payments - or switch it off completely.  
 * 3072 Mb web hosting space  
  The initial 3 Gb of disk space provided allows you to provide your clients with a generous amount of disk space.  Our research shows that the average web site use less than 40Mb of disk space, so there is plenty of room to grow.  
 * 81 Gb free traffic
  Your clients can generate 81 Gb of traffic per month, and in the event that you need more, you can add to your quota, and charge your clients accordingly.  The average web site generates about 300 Mb of traffic per month, so you should have more than enough to get started.

We know lots of providers offer 'unlimited' bandwidth.  You understand computer technology and you know there is no such thing as 'unlimited' anything, so we don't insult your intelligence.  The bandwidth we allocate is provided for - we do not over subscribe.

 
* Helm control panel
  You have your own control panel which you can brand with your own logo.  The control panel gives you and your clients full control over all aspects of your web server, email and ftp accounts.  You can create control panel ID's for your clients and/or appoint your own resellers.   
* Detailed Web Stats
  Give you clients access to detailed statistics reports that shows exactly what was viewed when, where their visitors came from, and more... so they can optimize their site to generate more business.  
* ASP, ASP.NET, PERL and PHP support
  You decide whether or not to make scripting language support available to your clients / resellers or a particular hosting plan.  Support for ASP, ASP.NET, PHP and PERL can be added with a click of a button to any domain or client account of your choice.  
* FrontPage server extensions
  You can install (or remove) FrontPage server extensions with a click of a button - include it in your hosting plans or sell it as an optional extra.  
* Custom error messages
  You can allow your clients to install their own error handler pages for file not found, server script errors and so on.  
* 10 domains
  The basic package includes 10 domains, and you can add more as your business grows.  Since the control panel includes a DNS administration tool, you register and manage the domains yourself.  
* 40 domain name aliases
  Each server (for a domain) may have aliases: for instance, cozahost.co.za would be an alias for cozahost.com.  You have 40 aliases initially to assign as you like to your customers / hosting plans.  
* 40 ODBC DNS
  Allow your clients to create 40 ODBC data source names  
* 8 Secure folders
  Design packages allowing your clients to create secure folders (requiring a logon) for their web sites.  
* 500 POP3 email accounts with 2000 forwarders
  With 500 POP3 accounts for you to resell, you can give your clients all the email accounts they need - including web access to their email.  The 2000 "forwarders" allows you to set up multiple email addresses and forwarding accounts for sophisticated email services.  Included are 40 MRAs (multi recipient address lists, ie email distribution lists) with a maximum of 2000 members per MRA.  You can include MRAs as a part of your product or sell them as optional services.  We intercept upwards of 99% of spam and 100% of known viruses.  
* 30 FTP accounts
  Re-package 20 FTP accounts as either optional services or as a built-in part of your hosting service.  
* 3 MySQL DB's
  3 MySQL databases to help you get off to a flying start  
 

Additional services
 
As your virtual web hosting business grow you will add more services to resell to your clients.  We designed the Pro Hosting product in such a way that you can add small increments of services in cost effective bundles to suit your market. 

For instance, you might require more POP3 accounts and fewer FTP accounts; or more disk space but less bandwidth...you decide and trim your package accordingly.

  Purchase more POP3 accounts for reselling to your clients  
 * 10 MRA - R 5.00 (Ex VAT)  PM
