IS there an advantage

[robertwatcher]

I am new to reseller and have used it now for a few months to build a hosting business that hopefully will lead to a fast and smooth running dedicated server at some time in the future (when the income can justify the outgo). Right now I only have around 38 accounts (28 on my reseller with Jag - and the others on a large shared space with Hostgator).

I am however starting to get a few requests from a little heavier a users (using 1 to 2 gig of actual disk space and between 500 to 1000 and more unique visitors a day) to host on my reseller account.

< MY QUESTION IS

Is there a REAL advantage to using a VPS account for hosting all of these accounts - over the Reseller plan that I now have (I have the biggest one). Or should I just wait until I can make the move to Dedicated?


I know that I have access to the root level with VSP and am not sure that that is something that will benefit me. File sizes and bandwidth aside - - - can the VPS handle more cpu processing requests than the Reseller plan - or are they the same. Is a dedicated server going to be the only way that I see any significant difference.

I just noticed the 15% special and figured I'd take advantage of it - - - but only if there is a real and practical difference to me.

Thanks

do a search as this subject has been discussed much around here. It all depends on how much RAM you have with the VPS. RAM is the weak link!

It depends on what you actually need: http://www.jaguarpc.com/support/kbase/702.html
