Reselling Packages, or just getting your own server?

Which method will bring in the profit?

It all depends. If you have the technical knowledge and you have enough clients, getting your own server is generally going to bring in more profits, since the diskspace and transfer costs at ther server level is much cheaper.

However, time and effort are also costs to consider. If you don't have the time, getting packages and reselling them will be better. Or if your number of clients is small, no reason to get a server just to have it underused.

In the long run your own server will probably bring in the most profit.
However you cant just buy a server and expect the profit to come rolling in, you need customers and lots of them, its probably best to start with a reseller package until you build up your customer base and then move to a server when you need too. Don't forget the market is pretty crowded these days, you need to be competetive to get the customers they wont all just appear.

And dont forget other things, you need to advertise, pay staff etc they all cost money and over spending on things like a half empty server at the beginning may lead to your downfall

Could anyone suggest any good companies that offer competative reselling plans that allow adult content?

Thanks

It is a time scale based on time and volume.

If you are just starting out then reselling packages will bring in the most gross margin (which is different than profit).

When you have enough accounts, presuming you have the skill base or can outsource managed services, then getting your own server can reduce the cost per account and increase your margins.

When you have enough servers, presuming you have the skill base or can outsource the equipment management, then getting a rack to house your servers in a co-located environment can reduce the cost per server and increase your margins.

When you have enough racks, presuming you have the skill base or can outsource the management of a data center, then building your own data center can reduce the cost for racks and servers, and thereby increase your margins.

Thank you.

I would get a reseller package and move to a dedicated server when you have around 30 or so clients.

One thing to consider is that when you have your own server you can design more attractive plans (more space, transfer etc), due to having more resources. Therefor, you will grow much faster likely do to these better offerings.

On the other hand, of course, have a reseller plan allows you to start small with limited resources and slowly grow.

So, I would suggest it depends on your personality, your willingness to take risks, and the amount of energy you wish to put into this now.
