Apart from hosting resource-demanding Internet sites, there is another reason to acquire a virtual or a dedicated server of your own - to start your website hosting company. This is an ever-growing business, due to the fact that a growing number of people and businesses start their online presence, which means that they need web hosting space and a domain name. If you have a hosting server, you'll be able to create hosting offers then sell them, so you can not only cover your own expenses when you host your own Internet sites on the server as well, but you will also make a great profit by operating a flourishing business. What you need for that is a server, billing software, that will be the connection between the reseller site and your web space, as well as a business account with a payment processor like PayPal or 2CheckOut, in order to be able to receive Internet payments. The benefit from reselling server space over the usage of a regular reseller program is that your customers will have extra resources and you will be able to set up the server-side software which their sites may need to operate efficiently. The latter will not be possible with a shared hosting reseller program, since you'll have certain limitations in this regard.
