    Me and my friend were talking and im purchasing a server and to afford that server next month im going to need money obviously and what im doing is thinking about starting an insanely cheap web hosting service this is what im thinking about doing here are my options

    1.) Start a 1 time payment web hosting site:
    Heres what i was thinking make everyone donate $10 and they will get unmetered hosting forever and as we get more and more clients each month we will save so we will always have enoguh for the server or we will upgrade after a few months and every mnoth we will get more and more clients i dont know if thats a good idea

    2.) Start a insanely cheap company whic clients will ahve to pay yearly for like say $24 a year for unmetered hosting then after we have enough for many months ill get it so people start paying monthly or they can pay yearly and i will also make reseller and master reseller very cheap too

    i will be able to afford about 3 months of hosting with the money i have right now but probobly more because me my friend and my other friend will be sharing the server and each paying part of it

    Thanks for your help i really appreciate it

    I'd like to suggest that you start a forum where people will be posting monthly to get hosting. You can also ask them to pay if they don't want to post. This way you'll have an active forum and put some adsense ads over there and you'll be generating a decent amount from ads.

    I can help you to maintain the forum if you require in exchange of a free hosting account.

    I think this is a good idea and I might just do the same.
