When you have your own hosting server, virtual or dedicated, you will be able to launch your own web hosting reseller business and to make good money in a niche that is maintaining growth every year. With the increasing necessity for sites, you will need just three things to start - a server; a billing app, which will be the connection between your online store and the web hosting space; and an account with a billing processor, which will help you accept web financial transactions. Since there are ready-made reseller applications available, the usage of your own server gives you additional control over the software environment. To be able to install server-side software, for example, provides you with a benefit over the competition and will mean even more satisfied clients. With a standard reseller program, the accounts are created on a shared server, so no software can be installed and, for that reason, some Internet sites may not function properly. Having your own reseller business will provide you with the opportunity to generate income, while you can still use the server for your personal websites too.
