In short
You rent a share of our servers (disk space, bandwidth and a number of cPanel accounts) and sell it to your own clients under your own brand and prices. Each client gets their own cPanel; you manage them all from WHM, and we look after the servers.
The model in one picture
- You buy a reseller plan from Hostnali: a pool of disk space, bandwidth and cPanel accounts.
- You create hosting packages in WHM (for example Starter, Business, Pro) with your own limits.
- You sell them to clients under your brand, at your prices, and bill them yourself.
- Each client gets a cPanel account with their own website files, email, databases and password.
- We run the servers: hardware, security, updates, daily backups and monitoring.

What makes it white-label
Your clients see your brand, not ours: your own nameservers (ns1.yourbrand.com.ng), your logo in cPanel, and your invoices. See white-label branding.
Who it suits
- Web designers and agencies who want to host the sites they build.
- IT consultants looking after small businesses.
- New hosting brands starting small before buying their own servers.
What you need
- A reseller plan (from ₦31,250 a month): see reseller hosting.

- A way to take payment: card, bank transfer and mobile money through WHMCS payment gateways.
- Basic skills: creating packages and accounts in WHM takes a few clicks.
