Other than hosting resource-demanding Internet sites, there is one more reason to purchase a virtual or a dedicated server for yourself - to launch your website hosting company. This is a constantly growing business, considering that an increasing number of people and businesses start their world wide web presence, so that they need hosting space and a domain. If you have a website hosting server, you can make web hosting package deals and then sell them, so you can not only cover your expenses in case you host your personal websites on the server as well, but you can also make a decent profit by having a flourishing business. What you need for that is a server, a billing program, that will be the connection between the reseller website and your web space, plus a business account with a payment processor for instance PayPal or 2CheckOut, in order to be able to receive web payments. The benefit from reselling server space over the usage of a regular reseller program is the fact that your customers will have a lot more system resources and you're able to set up the server-side software that their Internet sites may need in order to operate properly. The aforementioned is not possible with a shared website hosting reseller program, since you'll have some restrictions in this regard.
