Default What's best for a Hosting Company?

I am looking to get into the hosting industry - and I have been presented with a couple of options...One is to buy a big reseller server, and resell the hosting through that - or, I can buy a dedicated server, and do it through that.

Of course, the difference is...cost - and experience. I am under the impression that owning a dedicated server (either bought or physically owned) takes a lot of maintinence and experience - something I do not have. There are also other costs incurred such as software and 3rd party add ons.

With resellers - all I have to do is simply launch a website, set up accounts through cPanel and off I go.

Which one would you recommend specifically for me? If a dedicated server is definitely better, despite my experience and cost, then I am willing to spend and learn. It isn't a big deal.

What are some specific benefits of a dedicated server that sets itself apart from a reseller?

Thanks!
