Being a web hosting provider is a very competitive business, as many people today are building websites for personal and business use and therefore need reliable web hosting. Once you have decided to become a hosting provider you have to make the choice between reseller hosting or having your own dedicated server. Both owning your own dedicated server and choosing a reseller hosting option have disadvantages and advantages which will vary depending upon your circumstances and requirements.

Opting to have a dedicated server will give you more freedom with your customers’ hosting accounts, allowing you to configure the server any way you wish. You will have total control over the server which will guarantee security and the level of down time. However, a dedicated server is a very expensive option and you would have to be able to guarantee a minimum number of customers to cover the cost of the server. As you are totally in control of the server you will also have total responsibility for its performance and any problems will fall on your shoulders.

Reseller hosting can be completely transparent so that your clients do not realise you even have it. Your reseller package will also be maintained by the hosting company who provide the hosting so that you don’t have to have lots of technical knowledge.
