Aside from hosting resource-demanding sites, there is a further reason to acquire a virtual or a dedicated server for yourself - to start your website hosting company. This is an ever-growing business, considering that a growing number of people and businesses start their web presence, so that they need web hosting space and a domain. If you have a server, you will be able to create website hosting deals then sell them, so that you can not only cover your own expenses when you host your personal sites on the server as well, but you will also make a decent profit by operating a successful business. What you need for that is a server, a billing program, which will be the link between the reseller website and your web space, as well as a business account with a payment processor for example 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 the fact that your clients will have extra system resources and you're able to install the server-side software that their sites may need so as to work properly. The aforementioned will not be possible with a shared web hosting reseller program, because you'll have some restrictions in this regard.
