How different is Reseller hosting from Shared one in terms of CPU load?

As wordpress blogs are quite resource intensive,can a reseller account bear the server load if i run lot of wordpress blogs on a reseller account.

No. Reseller accounts are generally no different than shared accounts when it comes to server CPU allocation. If you are running a lot of intensive blogs, it is best to invest in a Virtual Private Server (VPS), which will give you more CPU power, your own dedicated ram and full root access. This is a pricier option though.

Cpu/memory limit applies to each hosting account, not the total usage of all accounts under the reseller package. IMO Reseller option is still good if you run multiple small sites. The limit is usually flexible. Providers may not apply any rules when usage exceeds limit but still at an acceptable level.

In a word, no. And even in the VPS world, not all providers will let you use CPU freely. You have to check in advance.

A VPS would definitely get you more CPU and memory. But I would check with some different reseller hosts first. Tell them the amount of blogs and sites you'll be running and see if they can handle it or not. A VPS requires much more work on your part.

If a provider sees that any of your sites or applications are causing a constant high load or memory usage, they'll likely suspend your account as it may be affecting all the other customers on the same server negatively.

I hold a different few. All things being equal, a VPS will give a user less usable memory than a shared/reseller account, for the same amount of money, as some overhead, and some extra licensing prices are involved. Now, with a reseller hosting, as opposed to shared hosting, you can put each website on a separate end user account, and if one of them gets to busy and the host must suspend it, the other accounts will not be affected. That's the main advantage that I see. Looking at the big picture, reseller accounts tend to be a bit more expensive, and you can reasonably expect that the total CPU/memory usage that the host expects you to use will be similarly larger, but a $25 reseller account will not give you 10 times more than a $10 shared hosting account. Things simply can't work that way.

You don't have any access to cpu resources allocation. unless you go for your own dedi....

I'm agree with you, better you invest in a Virtual Private Server

VPS would be ideal, because its your own share of resources, but a good under-sold reseller account would be enough.
