Apart from hosting resource-demanding websites, there is one more reason to obtain a virtual or a dedicated server of your own - to create your website hosting company. This is a constantly growing business, as an increasing number of people and businesses start their online presence, so they need web hosting space and a domain name. If you have a server, you will be able to generate website hosting package deals and sell them, so that you can not only cover your expenses when you host your own Internet sites on the server as well, but you can also make a very good profit by having a prosperous business. What you need for that is a server, payment software, which will be the link between the reseller web site and your web space, as well as a business account with a payment processor such as PayPal or 2CheckOut, so as to be able to receive online payments. The advantage of reselling server space over the use of a regular reseller program is the fact that your clients will have much more system resources and you can set up the server-side software which their websites may need so as to function effectively. The aforementioned is not possible with a shared web hosting reseller program, as you'll have some limitations in this regard.
