Apart from hosting resource-demanding sites, there's a further reason to buy a virtual or a dedicated server of your own - to launch your hosting company. This is a constantly growing business, due to the fact that a growing number of people and businesses start their online presence, so that they need website hosting space and a domain name. If you have a server, you can create website hosting plans then sell them, so you can not only cover your expenses if you host your personal websites on the server too, but you may also make a decent profit by having a flourishing business. What you need for that is a server, a billing program, which will be the connection between the reseller website and your web space, and a business account with a payment processor like PayPal or 2CheckOut, in order to be able to receive online payments. The advantage of reselling server space over the usage of a standard reseller program is that your customers will have extra system resources and you'll be able to install the server-side software that their Internet sites may need to operate efficiently. The aforementioned is not possible with a shared website hosting reseller program, as you will have specific limitations in this regard.
