Other than hosting resource-demanding websites, there's one more reason to acquire a virtual or a dedicated server of your own - to start your hosting company. This is an ever expanding business, due to the fact that more and more people and businesses start their web presence, so that they need web hosting space and a domain. If you have a website hosting server, you can create hosting deals then sell them, so you can not only cover your expenses in case you host your personal Internet sites on the server as well, but you will also make a decent profit by running a lucrative 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, so as to be able to receive Internet payments. The benefit from reselling server space over the use of a regular reseller program is the fact that your clients will have a lot more resources and you can install the server-side software that their websites may need to operate efficiently. The latter isn't possible with a shared web hosting reseller program, since you'll have specific limitations in this regard.
