Apart from hosting resource-demanding websites, there's a further reason to purchase a virtual or a dedicated server of your own - to make your hosting company. This is an ever expanding business, due to the fact that more and more people and businesses start their world wide web presence, so that they need web hosting space and a domain name. If you have a hosting server, you can make hosting plans and then sell them, so that you can not only cover your expenses if you host your personal Internet sites on the server too, but you may also make a great profit by running a profitable 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 for example PayPal or 2CheckOut, so as to be able to receive Internet payments. The benefit from reselling server space over the use of an ordinary reseller program is the fact that your customers will have considerably more resources and you are able to install the server-side software which their sites may need to operate effectively. The aforementioned isn't possible with a shared web hosting reseller program, because you'll have specific limitations in this regard.
