Why did you make a hosting company?

[TaiLZ]

because people think it is easy money. buy a $4/mo reseller account and chanrge people $10/mo for 10gb space 800gb bandwidth and become rich in 2 weeks

Those servers suck!

I am interest in creating a web host company, but i dont know if this really will make profit, i see many websites offering hosting for us$8 or us$11 so how much would i make like us$3 for each account, i think this is not a good business, so i decided to create something more interesting, i develop a web hosting directory and i win more money for the advertisement, in case you are interest in trading or exchange link with my web hosting directory.

Its a hobby for me. I had to put up with slow, unreliable free servers and thought, "Wait a minute, maybe i can offer better services to those that need it" and it started from there..

Hi,
All of the above for me.

 

[Starcraftmazter]

Because I want to take over the world......

MUAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHHAHAH

Seriously though, to get serious profit from free hosting, you need to put in a lot of hard work, just like in any other job.

I just like doing this, and also I need a place to host all my stuff

Thats one thing I noticed. I needed a dedi server all to myself. Then I got the bright idea, why pay for it when someone else can for me .

I started a hosting company to broaden the features and influence of my network. i did it to be able to offer more features, and as a hobby i guess.

I also wanted to provide the anime market with easy free hosting, thus encouraging the online anime market even more.

I guess money does come into it, but only to cover costs of other servers and scripts so i can provide an overall better experience for the users of our network.

=)

It was a joke
IE I started something 1000000s of others are doing to be differnt(Excluded from the world)

The last bit means I started hosting to be differnt to other providers(Not saying all are bad but a hell of alot are) and provide good service.
:beer:

But I know you know I know you know what i ment so its ok.

Why did you make a hosting company in the first place?
As a hobby - For Fun, or to to get $$$?

It is to make money, but it's also for fun. I used to run a pretty successful free hosting company in the past (Q151) and now I'm back to do it all over again.

 

[ServerHostPlus]

Hosting is a very interesting industry. We decided to try. I think that we will made right choice.

Lot's of great posts in this thread.

I've always been interested in the web (since I was 11 years old), and I started building/developing/managing websites at an early age. A few years back, I realized that I really wanted to "wet my feet" in the webhosting world, and that's exactly what I did. Did I think I was going to be successful? Nah, not really. Wow, was I wrong.

The webhost that I founded turned out to be one of the most successful free/paid webhosts in the hosting world. This, of course, was partly due to the fantastic start we had (thanks to the traffic from FWS), and from there, it took off. :classic2:

I love the webhosting industry; it's a major passion of mine (along with web development and design). It's a major, major hobby.

Well, i started going on the web at about... when I was probably like in the second or first grade? It was not much of an interest back then. But when more time passed, I was getting more interested about the web and technology (mostly computers) and eventually started a small, hosting site.(even tho it died out after a month but it was free hosting) so I would consider it as a hobby. My thoughts formed at the age of 10, and discovered more and more up until now.
