I still remember those days when I used a free host and a cheap domain for my website. Not that now I got rich or something but gets enough returns from to pay for domain and hosting. How much was your first investment ? And if you are to start a new project now, what will be your budget ?
My first website cost about $20 a month for hosting. As a developer, it saved me millions upon millions.
freakytube and ghettotube spent like 10,000 to get up and running hosting bill was like 800 a month back then. Script i use could not handle the traffic. Sold for good price
was around $400. But overtime, I added more money. Next project, I think it will cost me around $1.000
The first thing I invested in that made me money(Actual profits) was reseller hosting from hostgator... terrible choice, but I doubled my money(in theory).
