VPS or Reseller

[emasaa]

When you chose to start your own web hosting business , which path did you take? Did you decide to go the route of leasing a VPS server or try Reseller hosting.

I have seen that reseller seems to be cheaper than vps, but what makes others choose to go the way of vps. I would be greatful for any replies.

Go for reseller first. This is more applicable if you are starting from zero and you are constrained by funds. Most of the VPS offers are unmanaged thus you may need to invest more time in managing the server instead of closing sales.

Reseller its better, but get a good host offering a lot of space and bandwidth, that is reliable (99.9% uptime) , providing 24/7 support and tons of offers and services.

IF you are familiar with some server management then you should consider a VPS. However a reseller is a great starting point.
