If you can't decide, then take a few steps back and figure out the real reasons you want to enter the hosting world. It's not a game. It's a very serious business with other peoples hard work at stake.

I didn't mean it as an insult or anything bud. Chill.
I was merely stating that website hosting is a very serious business.
Ok my serious advice is to go with Paid Hosting. Post2Host does not ALWAYS pay the bills.

Alright, thanks :)
Im sorry, it just seems that there is alot of people (not all though) that have a negative attitude when it comes to other people "joining" the business.
That was exactly the kind of positive advice I was looking for.

Thanks ;)

My advice would be to go for paid hosting. Post2Host is mainly based on having ads on your forums which aren't guaranteed to be clicked.

If you weren't planning on having ads on the forums then you'd make nothing.

Good point, ads dont get clicked often/at all anyways...

I`d add to this, post to host is a lot of work!

wanna make money from it, forget it...

Forum ads are not money earners from google/bidvertiser etc. we get 200,000 + forum page views per month and google revenue is still only $20 - $30 a month.
Try accepting other ad programs such text link ads, their payouts are really good and reliable.

paid hosting is the way to go, but, you need to have a good plan to drive customers

Just a question, how would post2host pay you?
Also, I suggest paid hosting.

Paid Hosting is harder on these times because, you know, some hosts overselling.

Post 2 Host requires a very good plan for it to work.
