Ahem - are you sitting comfy. Then I'll begin.
1. giving advice should be looked on as a freebie.
2. advice should be taken.
3. What the hell is a 13 year old doing offering services that could control a business offered by an adult - you have no way of offering any compensation to your clients, so stop moaning.
Sorry to quote this post, but i feel that number 3 is an unfair point.
I am 15, and i have just started creating my own hosting company and making around $40 a month which i will put towards a vB owned.
Firstly, i am a trustworthy host, since i know the ins and outs of unix-based servers and fedora. I know basic shell so i can access the backend if something bad happens to the server.
I totally disagree with those points and age is not an issue when it comes to starting a host, what is important is that people like me do things correctly and follow the examples of our older peers, hosts which have been there longer than us and learn from forums like this to do the right things about hosting.
I feel pointless starting a business because are too biased towards age and they base people upon age and age has nothing to do with hosting, as long as they provide a good service and support when it is important, there is nothing wrong in someone 13 or even 12 in some cases to start there own hosts as long as they have the basic knowledge of servers, which i clearly have.
I hope i do not sound too evil in saying this, but i believe that you were well out of order at the start of the thread and you said things which should not be said. You are generally a nice person (by looking at your post count and how long you have been here), but this is not the case. I am offended by the way you reacted to this thread, and i believe that you are in the wrong and everyone else in this thread are doing things correct. You are well out of order.
ok from this point on enough with any comments you may have, i AM going to open a webhosting company and I NEED a NEW reseller. That is what the point of this topic is anyway, so can anyone give me what i asked for, for the price i requested?
