In addition to hosting resource-demanding websites, there's a further reason to buy a virtual or a dedicated server of your own - to create your web hosting company. This is a constantly growing business, due to the fact that a growing number of people and businesses start their online presence, so they need hosting space and a domain name. If you have a hosting server, you'll be able to generate website hosting deals then sell them, so that you can not only cover your expenses when you host your personal Internet sites on the server as well, but you can also make a very good profit by having a successful business. What you need for that is a server, a billing program, that will be the link between the reseller site and your web space, plus a business account with a payment processor such as PayPal or 2CheckOut, in order to be able to receive online payments. The benefit from reselling server space over the use of a standard reseller program is the fact that your customers will have much more system resources and you're able to set up the server-side software that their Internet sites may need so as to operate properly. The aforementioned is not possible with a shared hosting reseller program, as you will have some limitations in this regard.
