Quality Hosting?

[Krun!x]

The hosting industry is saturated nowadays. In order to be a successful hosting provider you will need a lot of money to invest, a lot of knowledge about hosting, linux, marketing, running a business etc

It's not a good idea to buy such an expensive server for the beginning. How will you make a profit with that? Do you have a business plan? If you are not experienced in Linux I would suggest you getting a managed solution. When the server gets down you have no time to learn how to fix it.

Once you start getting clients make them happy. Word of mouth can make you or break you.

Krun!x Reviewed by Krun!x on 23rd Dec 2010. Quality Hosting? I am interesed to buy a couple servers but im not sure if its worth. I wanna know where you guys think that i should buy? I need 100% uptime and offshore. Probably i might open my own hosting company - but do you think its worth? I don't wanna make any profits or something atleast to get $$$ for the server bills and if i get that i will host some clients for free? I can spend around 500-600$ monthly for 3 months ( i got 2k$). I dunno what to do? Can you guys give me some suggestions. Rating: 5

I dont need to make any profit, just to help me with the server bills. And you are right about the expensive server. Well i don't know what server to buy and i can stop ddos protections, and im experienced well in linux. But i will need more people i might hire you. So you can get some % from the money i get.

It all depends on the clients, i am not sure what to do. If someone is interesed that would buy hosting from me would be better.

Well, you will hardly even cover the server bills with such an expensive server. Thanks for your offer but I already have a job

Feel free to send me a PM, I might be able to offer you a better deal at a fair price.
