if someone could clarify a point for me?

what is the difference between a "virtual dedicated server" and a simple reseller account?

they look pretty simmilar in concept to me.

concept is very similar, but with a vds/vps you are allowed root access, where as with a reseller account you are not, and are therefore limited in what you can do...

with both types of accounts, you don't have to worry about any hardware, but with a vps/vds, some providers may not offer free tech support if you screw something up. :)
