When Is It Time To Move From A Reseller Account To Your Owned Dedicated Server?
by: Christoph Puetz
Many hosting resellers just think that as soon as they have additional $99.00 (example) of income a month that they should go and get their own dedicated server. But is this the right step at the right time? I am not sure if just the income justifies the purchase of your own dedicated server (or to lease one). A dedicated server comes with much more responsibility for the reseller. Unless a reseller gets a fully managed dedicated server much more work and risk is waiting for him. Can you afford to have your server hacked and do you know what to do?
You should get a dedicated server at least a month or two in advance before moving your own site or even customer sites to it. Maybe even wait a little longer if you do not feel comfortable with the added responsibility. Get the server early enough and play with it. Make sure you understand your new tasks and that you are able to handle them properly. The damage to your business done by a hacked server might break your business into pieces. Hire an administrator and have the server made secure. Don't leave the server unsecured on the Internet for more than a few hours. Even hours can be too long and the server gets attacked.
