    I am thinking to buy reseller hosting from justhost and start my own webhosting company with low price like $3-5 monthly with unlimited features ..
    I just want some feedback and suggestions ..
    What you all think? Will I get success in this..:confused:

    I will keep very low rates like $3-5 as I have stated earlier...
    Please leave your feedback whatever you think , suggestions ..

    Thanks You.

    No problem in that. A lot of people are doing it. But you will have to create a very good design to make your hosting website look authentic.

    No problem... Everyday many webhosting company down... for OVERSELLING...! Maybe you raise a number... Never mind ! -I'm just suggesting you If you can pay 20$ - just goto iwebhostu.com and buy a master reseller host. Master Reseller batter than your normal Reseller....
    ;)

    Take a Chance! :D

    But my reseller hosting provide unlimited features in just $89 .. just take a look on justhost.com reseller unlimited plan...
    Includes unlimited cpanel accounts,that means unlimited clients.
    iwebhostu doesn't provide unlimited features for master reseller...
    between justhost is popular specially for reseller hosting..

    Just a few random ideas:

    1. Don't sell unlimited features. There is no such thing and many good potential clients will get a bad impression of any hosting company offering unlimited features.
    2. Create a free plan for your potential clients to try out your service before they buy.
    3. Allow monthly payments. You can also make the first month almost free with a 99% discount.
    4. Add a forum to your website. This is create a community and also will serve as a feedback and support service.

    Hope that is useful.

    Who told you iwebhostu.com not provide you unlimited features click here
    Everything unlimited there.. with batter connectivity and host. Just Host pay for fake reviews and comments so he looks popular. But he doesn't - If you don't know that I can't help you!
    Also Justhost gives you ONSHORE Reseller Hosting for $89 :eek: or IWebhostu gives you OFFSHORE / ONSHORE at same price with Master Reseller Hosting for 20$ maximum!

    Now tell me! <This is a offer don't slip it out - It's not come back again>

    Thank you!

    Really hard to break even.

    You need to buy WHMCS script which cost $159/years

    These are some very good suggestions, especially point 1. Unlimited is a marketting gimik, there's no such thing.

    No offence but that came across a little rude.

    You don't actually need to buy WHMCS, there are other ways but WHMCS would make things a lot easier.

    You can also pay a monthly fee instead of a one off. License Pal will give you WHMCS cheaper than buying direct too.

    Normally every hosting comapny provide "whmcs" and "enom" domain reseller account .. for free which is included in reseller package .
    I will give trial for 7 days for customers before purchasing ... One of the important stuff I want to know "Where I should promote my business" I don't want to promote in forums like webhosting talk or something ...
    Will adwords help me in this ... Or are there any better way to promote webhosting company..
    thanks.

    Buying the reseller hosting and setting up some cool website will not get clients. Main point in hosting industry is how much you work on marketing your product aka hosting.

    Most of the clients know Unlimited is marketing trick but this trick works well bec everyone think 100 GB is greater than unlimited. So they go for unlimited than 100GB

    Start will be very hard to beat top hosting companies but if you still succeed then you will be in list of top 10 hosting. :)

    Top notch support, Good client relation is required.

    In August month more than 5 hosting companies died.

    Good luck with your venture.


    Try to get local clients more bec it will yield profit. No adwords is no use.


    @rohit09

    I think self promoting is not allowed here. If you have any offer contact through Private message.

    Hosting is very complicate business... It has tons of nuances that you should know.
    Many people won't be catched anymore on "unlimited", "unmetered" etc.

    If you are able to properly market your hosting and offer your clients reliable support then you will have no problem being successful.

    honestly, unlimited doesnt exist, and if you are going to offer unlimited, you need to look into vps/dedicated,
    this way you can keep track of server resorces and server loads,
    just with a reseller you have no access to this so its hard to track it,
    also if you have a reseller, and i have one you could offer "proper" plans and i could offer unlimited everything, and your clients would suffer because of my stupidness, just remember this whilst ordering a reseller, maybe look into getting a vps, atleast you would have abit more control...?
