    They make money by adsense but thats not the best way

    The best way is to persuade people to upgrade to plans from other supplies and thats where the big money is

    host gator pay the following if you get people to signup with there plans

    1-5 a month $50
    6-10 a month $75
    11-19 a month $100
    20+ a month $125

    so if you get 10 people to go to paid hosting thats $750

    Thanks

    Ipanel is a good one and it has a feature that automates everything and also does paid hosting so you clients can upgrade aswell as places forced ads onto peoples when pages

    ITs about $10 a month lease or $70 to buy it

    You cant have adsense on the top of peoples page thought im affraid as its against the rules as you dont control whats on that page so you can put adsense on it.

    Similar reason to why you can put adsense on proxified pages

    Thanks

    Thanks for the rep

    the site s http://www.ihostdev.com/

    Your not allowed to haev adsense on pages that you dont control or something. Like in proxys you cant place adsense on pages that show the proxified pages because you dont have control

    So in hosting you cant place adsense on the top of other peoples wbe pages

    Plus you could get banned if they have adult material etc

    I can help you set up ipanel if you want and help you with your site. I used to do a free host company

    Thanks

    Hostgator doesn't like Freehosts anymore; don't use them, as they won't pay you if you run a free host.

    Personally I like layeredpanel.com; I tried with different panels, but most are too much work. I run a few profitable freehosts with it; money is made by adsense, adbrite and upgrades.

    Custom 404-pages are one way for income too, I believe.

    Don't look at the big guns like Angelfire or Geocities, they are a different class.

    A lot of the more successful free hosting providers are backed up by the fact that they have more people using their paid hosting plans.

    Also be very careful where you get your reseller hostingfrom, a lot of providers offering them do not allow free sites.

    I found this out when I started East London Hosting, despite the fact that the company I bought the reseller hosting from openingly allow free hosting themselves! :(

    Adsense is a bit tricky since your basically risking your adsense account with little control over what other people post.

    One thing I would avoid at all price is ads on the users web sites. This would be a complete failure. Any other stream of revenue is welcome though, especially paid upgrades, ads on the control panel, on the web site, donations, partnerships with independant software vendors (ISVs), etc...

    You can make good money but selling upgrades (i.e.more space/ads removal), selling by products like domains and by doing smart advertising i.e. put ads on abusers only.

    Other options I see people often use is targeted emails (if you got 10K users it's a very targeted group you can email), offer different upgrades for cheap (really ads-on to big sums when you multiply) and more.
