Think about the terms. Reseller may be a familiar term. Many people buy a product, take that product, add their name and logo and then sell that product as theirs. Many products that are bought have been resold at some point. Reselling a web hosting company isn't anything different.
In most cases, reselling isn't intended to be a ?get rich quick? scheme. For example, a company might need to host a web site. To get a specific kind of service, that company might buy more bandwidth than is necessary to create the web site. Bandwidth is similar to the amount of space one has to send electronic traffic. Think of it as a hallway. Some businesses would have only a dozen people and those people won't be constantly walking in the hallway. Other companies might have hundreds of employees. The hallways of that company would be very busy most of the time. The larger companies would need a larger hallway than the smaller ones.
Suppose that a company needs to move a lot of equipment through the hallway, but only a few times a week. They need the space when they need the space ? but the rest of the week, the hallway is essentially unused. The company might decide to sell or rent use of its hallway to someone else who can use it.
Granted, this particular scenario is unlikely, but the concept explains why some people might want to enter the hosting reseller market. There are people who actually start businesses to do exactly this. There are also some people who see reselling as an easy way to make a dollar. This last group of people will provide little technical help to the person buying the Denver web host. They may become the electronic version of absentee landlords who take the rent check on time, but are never available if there is a problem with the rental property.
In many cases, someone buying a web site won't know whether the person getting the ?rental money? actually owns the servers and equipment. For this reason, anyone investigating the idea of hosting a web site needs to check out the interesting companies and ask questions. What comes with the purchase of the web site? Does the company provide technical support? When? Is it easily accessible? Does someone have to wait on hold for a long period of time or can only call contact tech support by e-mail? Can you get references?

By definition, web hosting is a system whereby an account holder can use his allocated hard drive space to sell on, or rent in to an end user. Like many other reselling situations, hosting resellers buy a product in bulk, use their skills to create a more viable product and then sell it on to the end users.

Being a web hosting reseller does not mean that you have to be a top end computer programmer and support expert. It is natural that, as part of the reseller plans, technical aspects of web hosting are a function performed by the host themselves allowing the hosting resellers more time to expand the artistic and sales side of the websites rather than the technical side. Hardware, software and technical matters involving connection etc are not usually dealt by a web hosting reseller but are passed on to the host. In this way, both the host and the hosting reseller are able to capitalise on their skills. The host specialises in the technical side, leaving the hosting reseller to concentrate on the selling of spaces.
