Apart from hosting resource-demanding sites, there is a further reason to obtain a virtual or a dedicated server of your own - to make your website hosting company. This is a constantly growing business, as a growing number of people and businesses start their online presence, which means that they need website hosting space and a domain. If you have a website hosting server, you can generate hosting package deals and then sell them, so you can not only cover your own expenses if you host your personal websites on the server too, but you will also make a good profit by owning a profitable business. What you need for that is a server, payment software, that will be the connection between the reseller web site and your web space, and a business account with a payment processor for instance PayPal or 2CheckOut, so as to be able to receive web payments. The benefit from reselling server space over the use of a standard reseller program is the fact that your clients will have considerably more resources and you will be able to set up the server-side software that their Internet sites may need to work properly. The aforementioned will not be possible with a shared web hosting reseller program, as you'll have some limitations in this regard.
