Best Reseller Hosting in the Philippines: Honest Picks for Web Designers and Agencies

If you’re a web designer or digital agency handling multiple client websites, you’ve probably felt this pain:

Paying full price for separate hosting accounts for every client. It adds up fast. And managing 10 different logins is nobody’s idea of a good time.

Reseller hosting is the cleaner solution. You get one account, you divide it into smaller chunks for each client, and you control it all from one dashboard, or even brand it as your own hosting service.

This guide covers what to actually look for in a reseller host, best reseller hosting in the Philippines, which local and international options make sense for Filipino designers and agencies, and how much you should expect to pay.

Quick Picks (If You’re in a Hurry)

Situation	Best Pick	Why
Starting with the first client	Truehost Silver plan	Cheapest local option, WHMCS included
Growing agency (5–20 clients)	Truehost Gold plan	Private nameservers, more accounts, and space
Container-based isolation is needed	ServerGalactic	Enhance Panel, fully isolated per site
Large-scale reselling (50+ clients)	Truehost Platinum plan	200 cPanel accounts, 1.5TB bandwidth

What Is Reseller Hosting, Exactly?

With regular shared hosting, you get one account for one website. With reseller hosting, you get a large pool of resources, disk space, bandwidth, cPanel accounts, that you carve up and allocate to multiple client websites.

Most reseller plans come with WHM (Web Host Manager), which is the admin layer above cPanel. 

You manage everything through WHM. Your clients get their own cPanel accounts and see nothing of your master login.

Some plans also include WHMCS,  billing automation software that lets you invoice clients, automate plan upgrades, and accept payments. 

If you’re planning to run even a small hosting operation, WHMCS is something you’ll want.

What to Look for Before Buying

The reseller hosting market is full of cheap-looking plans that disappoint once you’re actually running client sites. Here is what matters:

Number of cPanel accounts

This is the hard ceiling on how many clients you can host. A plan with 10 accounts can host 10 clients. Some providers hide this number deep in the features list. Always check before buying.

Private nameservers

If your clients’ DNS says ns1.yourcompany.com instead of ns1.someotherhost.com, you look like a real hosting company. Not all plans include this, especially starter tiers.

WHMCS licensing

This is the billing software most resellers use to automate client invoicing and account creation. Some hosts include it free; some charge separately. 

Free WHMCS setup means they configure it for you, not always that the license is free, confirm this.

Overselling policy 

Some hosts allow you to oversell, allocate more disk or bandwidth to clients than you technically have, banking on not everyone using it entirely. 

This can work, but it can also cause problems. Know your host’s policy.

Local support 

If a client’s website goes down at 11 pm on a Friday, you want someone to answer. Overseas hosts often have good support, but response time to Philippine-specific issues like local payment processors, .ph domain quirks can be slower.

Server location

For clients serving a Philippine audience, a server in Manila or Singapore is meaningfully faster than one in the US or Europe. Load time affects both user experience and local SEO.

Reseller Hosting Options Worth Considering in the Philippines

Provider	Starting Price	Resources	Key Features	PH Support
Truehost	₱1,499/mo	50GB / 50 accounts	WHM + cPanel, WHMCS, private NS	Local PH support
ServerGalactic	₱2,172/mo	250GB / 30 sites	Enhance Panel, isolated containers PH + global servers	No
Reseller Club	₱2,500/mo	Varies by plan	cPanel/WHM, WHMCS optional	Global, no PH servers
SiteGround	₱4,000/mo	Varies by plan cPanel	cPanel, SiteTools dashboard	No PH servers
A2 Hosting	₱3,500/mo	Varies by plan	cPanel/WHM, WHMCS optional	No PH servers

Truehost.ph Reseller Plans: 

Truehost offers three reseller tiers, all running on cPanel/WHM with SSD storage. Here’s what you actually get:

Plan	Price	Disk	Accounts	Bandwidth	Includes	Private NS
Silver	₱1,499.40/mo	50GB SSD	50 cPanel	500GB	Domain reseller, WHMCS setup	No
Gold	₱2,099.40/mo	100GB SSD	75 cPanel	1TB	Domain reseller, WHMCS setup	Yes
Platinum	₱5,999.40/mo	150GB SSD	200 cPanel	1.5TB	Domain reseller, WHMCS setup	Yes

Silver is the right entry point if you are starting to offer hosting to clients. Fifty cPanel accounts are more than enough for most freelancers and small studios.

Gold is where most agencies end up. The jump from Silver to Gold gives you private nameservers so your brand name shows on DNS, not Truehost’s and doubles the disk space.

That matters when you’re trying to look professional to clients.

Platinum is for volume resellers, 200 cPanel accounts is serious capacity. Most freelancers won’t need this until they’re running a proper hosting side business.

ServerGalactic.ph: The Container Alternative

ServerGalactic takes a different approach. Instead of cPanel/WHM, they use the Enhanced control panel, and every client site runs in its own isolated container.

If one client’s site gets a lot of traffic or a security issue, it can’t affect other sites on the same account.

With traditional cPanel reseller hosting, all accounts share the same server environment, better isolation isn’t guaranteed.

Their Agency-1 plan starts at ₱2,172/month which is billed yearly and supports 30 sites with 250GB storage and unlimited mailboxes. They also have local servers in the Philippines, Thailand, and Hong Kong.

The trade-off is that the Enhance Panel is less familiar than cPanel. 

If your clients are used to cPanel and most are, there’s an adjustment period. And at ₱2,172/month for just 30 sites, the cost-per-client is higher than Truehost’s Silver plan.

What About Global Hosts Like ResellerClub or A2?

Global reseller hosts like ResellerClub, A2 Hosting, SiteGround, and HostGator are legitimate options. 

They have strong infrastructure and mature reseller programs. But there are real trade-offs when you’re serving Philippine clients:

• Servers are typically in the US, UK, or India. That adds latency for Philippine visitors.
• Support is 24/7 but not localized. Billing issues, peso pricing, and local domain quirks may require more back-and-forth.
• Pricing in USD means you’re exposed to exchange rate fluctuations. When the peso weakens, your costs go up.
• No .ph domain integration, you’ll need to manage those through a separate local registrar anyway.

For clients who are specifically targeting a Philippine audience, local hosting usually wins on page speed. For clients with international audiences, global hosts can make more sense.

The Stuff People Actually Ask

Do I need WHMCS?

If you’re hosting more than 3 clients, WHMCS makes your life significantly easier.

It automates billing, sends renewal reminders, handles automatic account provisioning, and lets clients upgrade their own plans. 

Without it, you’re manually chasing invoices and sending email reminders every month. Truehost includes a free WHMCS setup on all three plans.

Can I brand it as my own hosting company?

Yes. With our private nameservers likeGold and Platinum plans, your clients see ns1.youragency.com on their DNS settings, not Truehost. 

You can name your plans anything you want, set your own prices, and white-label the experience. Your clients have no idea who the underlying host is unless they go looking.

What happens when I outgrow my reseller plan?

You upgrade the plan. Going from Silver to Gold to Platinum is a straightforward account upgrade, no migration needed. 

If you eventually outgrow even Platinum with 200 accounts and 150GB, that’s the point to look at a VPS or dedicated server with your own cPanel license.

Is ₱1,499 per month really enough to start?

For a freelancer hosting 5–15 client sites, yes. Fifty cPanel accounts give you room to grow.

Fifty gigabytes of SSD is shared across all accounts, allocated around 2–5GB per client site, and you have headroom for at least 10–25 clients comfortably. 

If any client runs a media-heavy site, allocate more from your pool.

What’s the difference between reseller hosting and a VPS?

Reseller hosting is managed, the host handles server maintenance, security patching, and infrastructure. You manage client accounts. 

A VPS gives you a full virtual server with root access, which means more control but also more responsibility. 

For most web designers and agencies, reseller hosting is the right level of complexity. Move to VPS when you have clients with performance-heavy applications or when you need server-level customization.

Can I host WordPress sites on reseller hosting?

Yes, every cPanel account you create supports WordPress installation. Your clients get the same WordPress experience they would on any shared hosting plan. 

Truehost’s reseller plans run on LiteSpeed and include Imunify security and JetBackup, so performance and backups are handled at the server level.

Do I need technical knowledge to manage a reseller account?

Basic cPanel familiarity helps. WHM, the reseller management layer which is more complex than cPanel but follows the same visual logic.

Most of what you’ll actually do, creating accounts, setting resource limits, resetting passwords, is covered in Truehost’s knowledge base and YouTube tutorials. 

You don’t need to be a server admin. You do need to be comfortable Googling hosting questions.

Which Plan Should You Start With?

Here’s a simple way to think about it:

• You have 1–5 clients now and want to test the reseller model → Silver. Low risk, enough room to grow.
• You have 5–15 clients, and you want to look professional to them → Gold. Private nameservers alone are worth the extra ₱600/month.
• You’re running a proper hosting side business with consistent demand → Platinum. Two hundred accounts give you absolute scale.

If you’re still not sure, start with Silver. You can always upgrade, your accounts and client data move with you.
