If you have your own web hosting server, virtual or dedicated, you will be able to launch your own web hosting reseller business and to earn good money in a niche that grows each and every year. With the increasing demand for websites, you will need only three things to start - a server; a billing application, which is the connection between your e-store and the website hosting space; and an account with a billing processor, that will allow you to accept online payments. While there're ready-made reseller applications out there, the usage of your own server will give you further control over the software environment. To be able to install server-side software, for example, will provide you with an advantage over the competition and will mean more pleased clients. Using a standard reseller program, the accounts are created on a shared server, so no software can be installed and, because of this, some sites may not function properly. Running your own reseller business will give you the ability to generate a profit, while you can still use the server for your personal Internet sites as well.
