While you can make more money with the reseller program because it's your clients and 100% your income it however require some knowledge and much more effort from your side while you only need to refer clients with the partner program.

You get access to two websites with the web hosting partner program.

1) Your own free domain name and business web hosting package where you can setup whatever website you want. It would be an excellent choice to create a MARKETING website because the more visitors you get the more people can you refer to the partner website. (You can check the Website Shop for some low cost marketing websites). This is your own domain and website and you can do whatever you want with it. 

2) A web hosting partner website under our control to where you can send clients and you will earn 50% income from ALL clients that signed up from this website. You can use this partner website for an unlimited period of time untill you decided to cancel your hosting partner program.
