Errors youve made in business startup.

What i did wrong when i first opened my web hosting company was buying a dedicated server and then later knowing that i never had enough money to keep up with the next month. I also got no signups and was just shocked with what i did. I wouldnt mind here what mistakes you guys made while starting up your buisnesses.

Regards,
TheCoder

Well if you get hosting you are going to wait a long time intel a person gets you. The best thing you make a GOOD DEAL then put ads on other people's websites.

Hm...
You mean, telling them that there will be no ads and then, after they buy, put ads on their sites?
It's not good....

I can't say I made a error yet that I know of I guess maybe I could have stuck with my old hosting name speedyhosted.com. I moved because speedyhosted.com was just a free reseller I started out with. Now I have my own server etc so I moved to new domain one because I made the mistake of registering speedyhosted.com at a cheap domains site that wouldn't allow custom nameservers. In the end I ended up using one of my other hosting domains dotnamehost.com but it is going ok got more client then I thought we would by now.

Assuming SPAMers were smart enough to go away and not give us more money by trying to sign up again even after a bill for $500 USD that they'd not paid. Truly - that's the biggest. We spent a year and had/have plenty of funding so, well, it was only rational that we miss something.
