Need your advise, What does hosting involve?

Hello Everyone,

I am thinking about setting up a paid hosting website, I have run a free hosting website and have 50,000+ members who are looking to upgrade to paid hosting, and many of them have suggested I try and set up a paid hosting website for them to use.

But I want to know how hard it is to set up and run?

What do I have to do if someone decides to host with our company? Do I have to set up there account? What does it involve?

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Jonathan

 

You can use any of the popular billing script like:

clientexec or whmcs

 

People who think they can make a quick buck offering some web hosting typically get quickly overwhelmed by the customer service required to keep the clients happy,

It's true. A lot more is expected from a paid host - mainly as they're paying for it

It can be as simple or as complex as you like. Like a few posts above, get a good billing system and a nice site - along with a good support system, as this is critical to your business running smoothly. Don't rely on single mailboxes to track all requests.

You can cutdown support tickets by having a good knowledge base and FAQS section.

 

Thanks for all the feedback, how much work is involved? Would I be expected to set up all the accounts or can I get a script that does it for me?

Thanks
