Reselling To What Platform

I have learned that reselling is a good idea to get traffic to your website as well as cover some of the cost of the hosting package.

My question is, which platform (Linux or Windows) is the best if I'm planning to resell my server?

I would recommend offering both. Linux does everything that many users want it to, but some people have tasks that require Windows applications.

Will it not make any conflicts with the server having 2 platforms in it?

I haven't experienced having a server that is why I have no idea about having different platforms in one server.

You will have separate servers for each OS.

Could it be possible that I could have 2 servers in one hosting package?

I look at the VPS packages of Bodhost and all servers are dedicated to only one platform. So that means I have to buy 2 different servers having Linux on one server and Windows on the other. Is this what you mean?

Yeah. You'll have to buy two different packages like in Linux VPS Starter and Windows VPS Starter if you wish to use Linux Hosting as well as Windows Hosting. You can have both hosting accounts added under one billing account though.

In my PC, I partitioned the hard drive to several virtual drives (say A, B, C). I know most of you do the same

I just wonder if we can also partition the VPS or dedicated server to some virtual servers and install different OS in different servers.
