If you're not sure whether you need a reseller
plan or a dedicated server,
or if you think you should upgrade your reseller plan to a dedicated
server, you've come to the right place. This article should help you
decide which solution is best for you.
When a reseller of ours upgrades to a dedicated server, the main
reasons tend to be:
- They need more storage space
- They need more bandwidth
- They want to setup and sell their own reseller plans (instead of
reselling ours)
Existing resellers who need more storage space or bandwidth than their current
reseller hosting plan allows, can easily upgrade to a larger reseller plan. But with continued growth, there will come a point where upgrading to a dedicated server of their own becomes more economical.
