When you have your own hosting server, virtual or dedicated, you will be able to launch your own website hosting reseller business and to earn good money in a niche that continues to grow each and every year. With the increasing necessity for sites, you will need only three things to start - a server; a billing application, that will be the connection between your electronic store and the web hosting space; and an account with a billing processor, which will enable you to accept online payments. While there are ready-made reseller programs out there, the usage of your own server will give you additional control over the software environment. To be able to install server-side software, for instance, will provide you with an advantage over rivals and means many more satisfied clients. Using a standard reseller program, the accounts are made on a shared server, which means that no software can be installed and, because of this, some websites may not function properly. Having your own reseller business provides you with the option to generate a profit, while you can still use the server for hosting your own websites as well.
