Running a Web Hosting BusinessWeb Hosting Forums - Non-technical aspects of running a web hosting company. Topics include management, accounting, problem customers, taxes, support options etc.
IMO... start with reseller plan, get familiar with the hosting selling business. find the customer group and keep them. once you have the group, move to own server, and you can start profit right the way.
yes, i agree writing a business plan is very important, but before you begin,
probably you need to find out which web hosting packages are you going to provide? I mean there are so many web hosting companies already and what make you special that someone need to sign up with you?
a good way to start is by research. Research what users are actually looking for web hosting. One way to know is go to overture keywords tools to find out the number of keywords people search in particular phrase "web hosting"
the number actually tells you what kind of phrases that people type in the search box in this case yahoo search engine.
the higher the number the more people are looking for that phrase.
this is just a start. I'll talk about it later in part 2 - 3 or 4
If you want to start one, don't rush to buy hosting since the price is cheap or best deal. Just do some plannings and design. When your design and site is ready then you can start find for hosting.
