Hi there, i am currently looking into making my own hosting business. i have had interest from some friends and businesses to get investments, but wanna know how hard it is to create, get word out and manage a hosting company? anyone who can give advice
Buy a reseller account or get a dedicated server Buy Management services if its dedicated server. You can get it for as low as $22/month(from me) Provide reliable service so that the clients which come to you dont get away after 1 or 2 months etc etc
To be honest, i want to do this really do myself cause it's something i always wanted was to own a hosting business, and i don't need your hosting, i already have investors with everything i need
I dont want to sell you hosting nor I force you. I just suggest that we can manage your server for $22 compared to others like $30-$100
I took a look at the sites in your sig, I think running a hosting service is something you can do. It isn't really that hard. You just need a niche, an angle... Referrals from people in real life is also a good way to grow your hosting business. Though I guess there is the issue of time, it takes a lot of it, so you should outsource wisely..
Yeah, something i wanna do, like a goal in life. I have alot of time, i am very dedicated and worked in hosting companies before as support staff, nothing one, so am interested alot
It depends on whether your aiming to be small or large. Small is easy in my opinion as you can just use Paypal and resell other people's services. With large you are expected to offer real credit card processing and use a dedicated server which is when things get more complicated (if it's the first time of course). But everything in life has a learning curve, so get stuck in!
Yeah, only want small, This something i wanted for ages, lol, not looking to make huge customers or alot of money, just an experience in life because it's a easy way to get into a web business to get me started and on my way
