Apart from hosting resource-demanding sites, there is another reason to purchase a virtual or a dedicated server of your own - to start your web hosting company. This is a constantly growing business, because a growing number of people and businesses start their web presence, so that they need website hosting space and a domain name. If you have a website hosting server, you will be able to create web hosting deals and sell them, so you can not only cover your expenses when you host your personal websites on the server as well, but you may also make a great profit by running 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, and a business account with a payment processor like PayPal or 2CheckOut, in order to be able to receive web payments. The benefit from reselling server space over the usage of a standard reseller program is the fact that your customers will have much more system resources and you are able to set up the server-side software which their Internet sites may need in order to function efficiently. The latter will not be possible with a shared website hosting reseller program, since you will have specific restrictions in this regard.
