Other than hosting resource-demanding Internet sites, there is another reason to buy a virtual or a dedicated server for yourself - to make your website hosting company. This is an ever expanding business, due to the fact that a growing number of people and businesses start their world wide web presence, so that they need website hosting space and a domain name. If you have a hosting server, you can create web hosting deals and then sell them, so you can not only cover your own expenses in case you host your personal Internet sites on the server as well, but you will also make a good profit by owning a prosperous business. What you need for that is a server, payment software, which will be the connection between the reseller site and your web space, plus a business account with a payment processor such as PayPal or 2CheckOut, in order to be able to receive online payments. The benefit from reselling server space over the usage of an ordinary reseller program is that your clients will have considerably more resources and you are able to set up the server-side software that their sites may need in order to operate efficiently. The latter will not be possible with a shared web hosting reseller program, since you will have specific limitations in this regard.
