Other than hosting resource-demanding sites, there is one more reason to purchase a virtual or a dedicated server of your own - to create your hosting company. This is a constantly growing business, due to the fact that a growing number of people and businesses start their online presence, so they need hosting space and a domain name. If you have a hosting server, you'll be able to create web hosting offers and sell them, so you can not only cover your own expenses if you host your personal websites on the server as well, but you may also make a great profit by operating a profitable business. What you need for that is a server, a billing program, which will be the connection between the reseller web site and your web space, as well as a business account with a payment processor such as PayPal or 2CheckOut, so as to be able to receive Internet payments. The advantage of reselling server space over the use of a standard reseller program is that your customers will have additional system resources and you can set up the server-side software that their sites may need in order to work properly. The latter isn't possible with a shared hosting reseller program, as you'll have specific limitations in this regard.

Reselling Options in VPS Web Hosting

The VPS web hosting that we supply feature several website hosting Control Panels to choose from and two of them are designed for starting your own hosting business, due to the fact that they have a client as well as a reseller side. DirectAdmin and cPanel are among the most well-liked Control Panels available and they'll allow you to set up everything almost immediately. All cPanel-equipped servers include two extra bonuses for free - a domain name reseller account with eNom - one of the biggest registrars, which doesn't include the deposit which is normally needed if you register directly with them, plus a billing/support solution named ClientExec, which will connect your site to the cPanel reseller account and which will make it easier to charge your customers and to offer them support through an integrated ticketing system. The full root-level access to the virtual server will enable you to do practically anything you would like, so starting and managing a prosperous hosting business of your own is a fast and simple project.
