Hi, I want to start my own web hosting business. Do you think this is a good offer? Please give me your thoughts. 1 GB Disk space 10 GB Bandwidth Host 1 domain Host unlimited subdomains Unlimited FTP accounts, email accounts and MySQL DB's PHP, CGI, Perl, Python, SSI, Cron, Curl cPanel Free Setup! Monthly Billing! Proxies, adult content, torrent, warez and image hosting scripts are allowed 14-day money back guarantee PayPal only Price: $2,99/m My questions are - Would you buy this package from me? - Is is necessary to have a website? Can I just promote the web hosting offer(s) to forums?
That's a good starting plan but you will want to offer 4 or 5 other plans that offer more disk space and bandwidth. Yes you need a website. It's hard enough being a web host with a website. People need somewhere to go when they need support. Trying to track you down by email or on forums wont do. Your website should use a billing/support software like WHMCS or WHM autopilot. If your allowing proxy, warez, and porn customers I sure hope you have the best of best server security. Better hope that server is located somewhere overseas. Best of luck
Website would really help alot. So they creating one.. Btw, I just found this kidlatz.com, they also offer a great packages... I will inquire from them later today so that I could transfer here and just cut off my previous server.
On top of the information regarding the packages you are offering you could also give more details regarding the way the service is setup. Are you reselling? Do you know how many people are hosted on the server already? Are you setting up a dedicated server or VPS and using that to start your hosting service? Specs to the machine you are using might be helpful as well. Anyhow, good luck!
I dont understand why still plans like this evolves , while hosters like bluehost, hostgator offer so much space and BW compared to this. can you tell me is there anything you offer to your customers what those hosters dont offer ? Im also having a web hosting but really confused about how to setup plans whenever i say by word of mouth that i offer 30GB space, 300GB bandwidth with cpanel ,fantastico bla bla for $3 per month or 50GB Space, 500GB bandwidth for $4.5 , some says many other host provides unlimited host for just $3 to $4 . How can i tackle them Im ready to do seo and customization works on their cms for free if they purchase my hosting will this scheme work ?
Thanks for the comments. It's a reseller package which includes cPanel and WHM so yes you have right, I need a domain name. But is it necessary to have a professional homepage. Can I just host WHM for my clients as well? The server is located in Yes I can. You may host proxies and adult content.
No I don't want to with hostgator. They start from $24.95, to expensive for me. I want to start with a cheaper reseller plan which bills monthly.
Pretty decent hosting plan, free set-up etc. But be sure to add some more expensive hosting as well, makes it more attractive to members.
Seems a good plan but I agree with JFwebJustin, make sure the security of the server is tip-top. Chris
Thanks for the advice. But it's a reseller package. I can't take the responsibility for the security.
1. You have to allow more domains to be hosted on the same hosting account. There are very few peoples owning just one domain. 2. "14 days money back" sounds like... I don't know... Make it at least 30 days to look professional. 3. Yes, you need an website. You can promote your offer on forums, but you may want to also be included on hosting reviews websites, hosting directories etc. and also to be reachable by search engines. Tip: Buy a startup hosting company for cheap that has all the site design and setup already done and just start promoting it.
No cause for one, proxies = high load, two torrent, warez, and image hosting are extreme risk and warez / torrents are ILLEGAL in the US. And not to mention the price is a bit high. most are offering that similar specs for $1 a month if that.
