Kiddie Host Accusations
- Thread starter AvailNetworks
- Start date
Yes they are, but in most states their Labor Rights drastically change.
No they aren't, they are considered legally responsible for thier actions, and that's what matters, they cannot face the full penalty of the law, but it'll be them facing consequences and not legal guardians.
I can say that i did run a free hosting company back at 15 made few pounds and then read something which pulled me off it before my final exam - i thank god and the guy who wrote that article everyday, passed with good grade to get me in college.
Here is the article and i wish it can help you to get off hosting before its too late. Here is abit off it and the link:

Kids, don't be offended by what I have to sayI have also been what most kids have done and i am sure you know what I'm talking about here. It's all from experience.
Everything is fine at first, when you have no customers, then you get the word out about your new webhost, and people start asking pre-sales questions, and before you know it you have a handful of customers.
This of course doesn�??t go for all kiddy hosts, but most of them will be in similar situations.

They didn't even bother to link to the SOURCE. :tired2:
I wrote that article for younghosts.com. I guess I'll be contacting the site owner. But anyways, I'm glad my article helped you.
EDIT: Whoops, didn't realize the last post was from almost a month ago.

I wouldn't care less how old they are as long as I get what I'm paying for and I get the service I require. You could be a 13 year old kid or a 100 year old man, would not care less! As long as my service is here and there because thats what we really want... not the person behind the other computer
yeah i suppose you are right, however i have been in the hosting game on and off for two years since the age of 16, however as earlier mentioned i was in partnership with a women who was 26. This made the bussiness both fresh, stable and economically viable, in the end i made enough from that and other sources to pay my share of server bills, it pays
i would also like to add that, if someone is open about their age in the legal agreement, then any client who agrees to these terms has no cause for arguement
(though correct me if im wrong)

I was co-admin for a free post to host almost a year back and I was shocked to learn that the owner was a 13 year old kid. I didn't like that, especially since I never got the compensation I was promised and I was doing about 80% of the work, so I resigned. Later on, he sold his site after 1 month on FWS and posted about being too busy at work to cope with the site.
Generalisations, the internet is crippled by them, the partner shouldnt have decieved you but its not always like that.
My Co-admin on my anime site network is 14 and Im recently starting a new project with a 13 year old as a partner, Im 18 which is the legal age for most international laws. The point of what im saying is, these guys have invested as much as they could, they have kept up their side of the bargain, are prepared to work when its needed.
While i understand that this isnt exactly the hosting game it ( the new project especialy) is certainly based around that area and is connected to it.
one more thing, free hosting is always going to be conditional, and so if the hosting is free then i have little problem with a 15 year old + running it solo.
They arent going to make much cash (as a rule) mostly wont own a company, and will word their TOS to properly reflect their support capabilities ( or they should)

Unless legally emancipated.
Not many, as you have to have a good reason to be emancipated. If you were abused, you could be emancipated. But even then it's hard from what i hear. But even if emancipated, you cannot own a company. You just aren't considered a minor anymore, and are considered your own guardian.
Yeah... that's why they are failures at life. Seriously get finished with High School, than either a) do some higher education aka college/university or
b) work at mc donalds :lol:

I totally agree, I knew a guy (age 15) who had $7000 backing his host. He did mighty well, sold for $1500 profit....
