Are you not sure if you should go with a Virtualizor reseller or a VPS hosting company? Don't worry - you are not alone. Below I will try to clarify the topic at hand in everyday speak and its easy to understand.
What Is A Virtualizor Reseller?
A Virtualizor reseller is someone who sells VPS hosting services without actually having the VPS servers. You are simply buying server space from a VPS hosting provider and then reselling it to your clients as part of your business.
Reasons It's Popular:
• Low Start-Up Cost: You don't purchase servers.
• Easy to Grow: As customers join, you can simply add more resources.
• Easy to Manage: Use the Virtualizor control panel for simple buttons to create or manage VPS accounts.
This alternative will save you a lot of time, assuming that is your intention for starting a small hosting company.
What is a VPS hosting provider?
A VPS hosting provider gives you your own section of a server. It is yours, not for reselling.
Benefits of VPS are:
• Full Control: You can get in there and change the settings and install what you need.
• Reliable Resources: You will know exactly how much CPU and memory you are getting.
• Direct Support: If something goes wrong, the provider fixes it.
If you only have websites or apps to host, then VPS hosting is straightforward and reliable.
Main Differences
Below is a simple difference between the two:
• Purpose: Virtualizor=sell hosting, VPS=host your own projects.
• Cost: Virtualizor is less expensive up front but requires management, VPS could impact your budget more but its predictable.
• Control: VPS allows complete freedom, with Virtualizor, you're limited when reselling.
• Growth: Both have the ability to grow, but reselling is better for clients' businesses while VPS is better for heavy apps.
Which One Should You Choose?
Ask yourself the question, do you want to start a hosting business or do you just want to host your own sites?
• If you want to resell hosting, you would want to use Virtualizor.
• If you would like hosting for your own sites, you would want VPS.
I started out with VPS for my apps and moved to reselling hosting after I acquired customers, and it all worked out.
