How to Sell Web Hosting on eBay with Zero Investment
A Step-by-Step Guide
CP Cloud Hosting began its journey in 2014 by selling web hosting on eBay. Over the years, we successfully gained over 5,000 clients through this platform. However, as of August 2024, we’ve shifted focus and no longer sell on eBay. To help others succeed, we’ve put together this comprehensive guide on how to sell web hosting on eBay with zero investment.
In this article, we’ll walk you through the process of listing and selling web hosting on eBay without spending any money upfront, leveraging the power of our Brand Ambassador Program. Let’s explore how you can get started.
The Brand Ambassador Program
At CP Cloud Hosting, our Brand Ambassador Program gives you the flexibility to sell web hosting without upfront costs. Unlike other programs, where you’re limited to fixed commissions, our program lets you purchase a web hosting package for as little as £2.99 for one year and sell it on eBay at any price you choose.
What makes this program stand out is that you don’t need to buy hosting in advance. You only purchase it when you make a sale. We also handle all the customer support, leaving you free to focus on selling. Join Program
Real-Life Example
In this example, a seller is listing StackCP web hosting for £10.00 per package and has sold 13 packages, making £130. This seller may be using a reseller hosting account, paying between £39.99 and £99.99 per month, regardless of sales, and is also providing customer support.
With our Brand Ambassador Program, you can sell the same unlimited StackCP hosting package for £10.00 but only pay £4.99 per package when it’s sold. This gives you a profit of £5.01 per sale without the hassle of monthly fees or customer support obligations.
Please Note: This is just one example. We recommend researching your local eBay market for web hosting to determine competitive pricing.

Why We Stopped Selling on eBay
If the program is so successful, you may wonder why we stopped selling on eBay. The answer is simple: growth. We’ve expanded our customer base to over 8,000 clients, and our focus has shifted toward delivering exceptional service and support to them. By stepping back from eBay, we’re offering others the opportunity to grow their own businesses and succeed, just like we did. Join Program
