Apart from hosting resource-demanding websites, there's another reason to buy a virtual or a dedicated server of your own - to start your website hosting company. This is an ever expanding business, due to the fact that an increasing number of people and businesses start their web presence, so they need web hosting space and a domain name. If you have a hosting server, you can make web hosting plans then sell them, so that you can not only cover your expenses if you host your own websites on the server too, but you will also make a good profit by having a successful business. What you need for that is a server, a billing program, which 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 use of a regular reseller program is that your clients will have more system resources and you can install the server-side software that their Internet sites may need so as to function properly. The aforementioned will not be possible with a shared website hosting reseller program, since you will have certain restrictions in this regard.
