Hi Ed,

Control is part of the reasoning, but a VPS also gives you guaranteed server resouces, such as CPU and RAM.

How much CPU time and RAM does your reseller account give you? They don't say. And, you have to share those resources with how many other resellers also hosting sites on that same computer (server).

Here's what it really comes down to: A virtual server guarantees a certain minimum CPU power and time, as well as a minimum RAM, all "dedicated" just to you. As a reseller, you have no idea how much CPU time you get, and you have to share it with every other reseller on the server.
