Other than hosting resource-demanding websites, there's one more reason to acquire a virtual or a dedicated server of your own - to make your web hosting company. This is an ever expanding business, as an increasing number of people and businesses start their online presence, so that they need hosting space and a domain. If you have a hosting server, you'll be able to create hosting plans and sell them, so 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 great profit by operating a prosperous business. What you need for that is a server, a billing program, that will be the link between the reseller website and your web space, and a business account with a payment processor for instance PayPal or 2CheckOut, so as to be able to receive Internet payments. The benefit from reselling server space over the usage of a regular reseller program is that your customers will have extra resources and you'll be able to install the server-side software which their sites may need in order to function efficiently. The aforementioned is not possible with a shared website hosting reseller program, as you'll have certain restrictions in this regard.
