If you want to resell web hosting you might choose reseller hosting account for this purpose. As the name suggest, reseller hosting account provides you many features so that you can resell hosting and get some benefit out of it. You can also choose reseller hosting for your personal websites also if the specifications of the reseller hosting account are good for you. However, you can resell hosting with any package or server (except shared hosting account). VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a server which provides the client with almost all the features of a dedicated server. A dedicated server is separated with the help of a  virtualization software and VPS servers are made. VPS also provide the clients with the dedicated environment which is only provided with the dedicated servers. Also, VPS servers are provided with the root access to the server which is not provided with reseller hosting account. This is a very great benefit for the client as the client can make changes to the server according to him and this is not possible with reseller hosting account. If you go for VPS hosting then it is possible for you to resell hosting and you can do this easily. As the client is provided with the root access to the server client is able to manage the resources and hence can create accounts according to him.

VPS Hosting is provided with some resources and these resources can be used by the server itself and no other VPS on the server can use these resources. Reseller hosting accounts are also provided with some resources but in this case these resources can be used by other reseller hosting account on the same server. Also, it might be possible that your reseller account is setup on a shared server and this is the reason that reseller hosting accounts are not considered to be reliable enough as shared servers are not considered to be reliable. On the contrary, VPS is reliable enough as VPS act like a dedicated server for the client and even if there is an issue with any other VPS on the same dedicated server the other VPS are not affected by it. Even if the reseller account is hosted on the server where there are reseller accounts only then to it is not reliable as the reseller hosting providers host many clients under the same account due to which the server gets overloaded and might face downtime. Some of the hosting providers who have a reseller hosting package also oversell resources and this also causes problems to the server on which the reseller hosting account is setup. Some of the web hosting providers do not provide reseller hosting accounts on the servers due to the problems the server and the web hosting providers face if they have reseller hosting accounts on the servers. Also, web hosting providers do not hesitate to suspend the account of a reseller if they face any kind of problem with the account.

So, VPS has many benefits over the reseller hosting account. This is the reason that many of the resellers now prefer VPS over the reseller hosting account as VPS is reliable and also the features which are offered with reseller hosting account are much more in comparison to reseller hosting account.
