i been wanting to get into the web hosting business for quiet some time now. Im on a very tight budget so its been pretty hard to get going.
I recently purchased yourwebhost.us, and got web hosting off ebay for it, the hosting is pretty darn good i have no complaints. I am also offering web hosting services through a 3rd party, and i get comission on each sale. BUT each sale has to be paid yearly, I personally would not want to pay some of the yearly prices they have setup, and that i can setup, would much rather pay monthly as would everyone else as i would think. Plus i dont have nameservers. i dont know if thats a must have, but i think they are one of the basics.
I Like the way everything is setup, and how i can control every aspect of the plans offered EXCEPT monthly payments. So im looking into getting a resellers account, and doing i guess you could say "the real deal!"
But Like i said im on a very tight budget. Also am VERY weiry on the results i could possibly get. I dont want to go out and pay tons of money, and not yeild any kind of results.
Now onto my questions i would really like to have answered.
-What are the costs, and how much should i REALLY spend just starting up with 0 customers?
-Are there any website affilaite or reseller out there that offer a free resellers accounts, where i could possibly control the plan packages, and other aspects you would want for reselling. PLUS monthly billing.
-Since i have so many questions should i really venture in the web hosting business?
Serious replies would be appreciated, any help is also GREATLY appreciated.
thank you,
Jason
