    Hi,
    I'm planning to start Free Cpanel 11 Hosting in a day or two..
    Now,
    What I wanna know is.. Are there any profits if I place a small 15x90 Google ad at the very bottom?
    Any chances of running in profits?

    IMO - My hosting charges wouldn't be over $5/month for the 1st 2 months atleast.. And I have a very nice Auto Cpanel 11 Script which has Ticket System,Credits System, etc (Its not WHMCS)
    Ive tested it and it works great!! :D
    Domain wouldn't cost more than $6(or $3 if I take .info)
    So.. Is it worth starting my own Free Web Hosting company for $8 ?

    Well.. The hosting cost can be zeroed if a company sponsors me =D
    They get clients, I make money via ads.. Its a very clear ratio :D

    So now,
    I have 3 plans in front of me..
    A) Buy a .info domain.. Buy a $5 UnLimited Reseller(Or atleast 100 GB Bandwidth) and start for $8

    B) Buy a .com domain.. Search for a sponsor,Or I might get it right now if he is reading this :p and start my Free Web Hosting in $6?

    C) Stay away from this wonderful idea..

    Well, For the start.. I'm not looking to buy a dedicated server for "FREE" Hosting.. Which doesn't even make huge bucks until you have 10k+ Members..

    Any suggestions,tips or ideas?
    Yeah.. You can also suggest me a nice Hosting Company which will last long and allows Cheap Reseller(WHM with License Key,Coz it would be needed)

    Thanks..

    Free web hosting means full satisfaction, you must look that the person who is hosting with u gets full support and doesn't say your site/support sucks.

    Also, free web hosting is more profitable than paid ones if used in small scale..

    Thanks Esidyo..
    Everyone likes Cpanel 11 hosting.. Don't they?
    And when its 100% FREE! Why wouldn't they like it?

    Any suggestions for starting space and bandwidth?

    500 mb free space and 5 gb free bandwidth should be good for a start.

    You can also add premium/paid deals for the members

    Also, talking about the liking, there are others too giving free hosts, but they might not be cpanel 11, but yes they got another CP while other might like, performance is not the only thing, we have to look at the support too, so make sure you have good support along with performance

    I personally do not want it if you put a banner on my site.

    Nobody does, but then the owner will not be profited..

    Well,
    No "banners"..
    Just Link Ads :)

    Its not about profits.. Its about running it cost free!
    If its costing me $10/month.. and if I cover this cost in 5 days.. I will disable the ads for the next 25 days on all the sites :D

    Yeah.. Profits are IMPORTANT! And I guess only Google Adsense offers 15x90 size banners.. If I'm banned from Google Ads the only way would be selling "links" on site which would result in lesser revenue.

    ----
    As far as premium/paid users are concerned.. They would be directed to the sponsors page(lets say CJ affiliate of HostMonster or Hostgator ;)) or the Company who is sponsoring this service :D

    Thanks for your time!
