how many shared hosting accounts do you need to have in order to make renting a VPS profitable?

That will have to be worked out based on how much you are selling each shared account for x the amount you have to pay.

Yes I figured as much but I was hoping to know what is typical so I do not cluster too many.

I try not to have too many on one account because then you get complaints but its really not about how many accounts you allow as what each does because one account can bring everyone down.

Well said since tow shared hosting accounts can bring down an entire server where as 100 could not.

Key is to always limit each hosting account with max resources. Anything over that suspend or break.

yes that is true especially if you do not allow changes to the .htaccess sop you control everything.

The key is to put a lot of limits on accounts before they get carried away that way if they overdo they get shut down.

Put what you can afford. If you are planning to be conservative you can disable a few things and allow everyone to surf faster.

I really dislike when I was back in shared hosting and it was fast at the start and then it would get slower as the host started piling on so many accounts.
