The Difference Between a VPS and a Reseller Account

As people and businesses find that they need more resources than a typical shared account, but less than a full dedicated server, many hosts have rushed in to fill the void with VPS (Virtual Private Server) and Reseller Account solution? But what does that mean? What's the difference?

Well, for starters, they both might mean the exact same thing. The term 'reseller account' only means that you are given the ability to act as a 'middleman' between those that need a shared hosting account, and those that own a dedicated server. In fact, a VPS is usually also a reseller account.

A VSP account is a virtual server. It acts just as a dedicated server does. On a Linux VSP, you're usually given access to a program such as WHM that allows you to control all aspects of the server, including creating several different cpanel account, and what IPs point to where.

If you are looking for more stability than a shared hosting account provides, and you need more than a couple of cpanel accounts and IP addresses, then you probably need a VPS (if not a full blown dedicated server). Make sure you ask how many VPS accounts are allocated for each server, and that you have a dedicated portion of the CPU. You'll also want to make sure you have ample dedicated RAM. I find that I need around 128meg of dedicated ram per cpanel account on my VPS, and I like to have that burstable to at least a gig.
