Apart from hosting resource-demanding sites, there is one more reason to buy a virtual or a dedicated server of your own - to create your hosting company. This is an ever expanding business, because a growing number of people and businesses start their web presence, so that they need hosting space and a domain. If you have a server, you can make hosting packages and then sell them, so that you can not only cover your expenses if you host your personal Internet sites on the server too, but you may also make a very good profit by operating a flourishing business. What you need for that is a server, billing software, that will be the connection between the reseller site and your web space, as well as 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 a regular reseller program is the fact that your customers will have a lot more resources and you can set up the server-side software that their Internet sites may need in order to work efficiently. The aforementioned is not possible with a shared web hosting reseller program, since you'll have certain restrictions in this regard.
