JohnKicksAss Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Say one morning I woke up and decided that I wanted to make money by being a host. What would be the step by step guide?? I am unsure about alot of it - What do you need?? Where do you get them from? Who do i pay to keep the server up (If I need to) And how do you put a maximum on the amount of bandwidth each customer uses?.. Please help me :-D Quote
PHP Scene Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Re: The technicalities of being a host! It's very easy to setup a web host, the problem is getting customers, and having a big budget of advertising, etc..getting clients, though in a personal option, the hosting market to wayyyy to saturated. You'll need: - dedicated server or, a vps (if you want to start small) - billing script, prefabably WHMCS - most customers prefer cPanel, therefore that is pretty much a must - money, you'll lose money at first, paying for the server, hosting script etc you won't make instant money, you'll most probably have to give it a while until you start making good money, also keep in mind, alot of people won't trust a "start up host" - Live/phone support (possible either yourself, or hire someone) Most probably more stuff to consider, but they are the basic requirements.
