Aside from hosting resource-demanding sites, there's another reason to obtain a virtual or a dedicated server of your own - to launch your web hosting company. This is an ever expanding business, considering 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 generate web hosting packages and sell them, so you can not only cover your own expenses when you host your own sites on the server too, but you will also make a good profit by operating a flourishing business. What you need for that is a server, billing software, which will be the link between the reseller web site and your web space, and a business account with a payment processor such as PayPal or 2CheckOut, in order to be able to receive Internet payments. The benefit from reselling server space over the usage of an ordinary reseller program is the fact that your customers will have extra system resources and you can install the server-side software which their sites may need so as to operate effectively. The aforementioned will not be possible with a shared hosting reseller program, because you'll have specific restrictions in this regard.
