Rather than use the services of a web hosting company to host your web site you could start your own web hosting company. If your business
is successful this could provide secondary income and lower the hosting costs for your own site(s).
Basically, there are two ways to start selling web hosting. The first way involves leasing business space, buying equipment, setting up
servers, leasing T1 or T3 lines to connect to the Internet, finding clients, and hiring staff to provide 24 hour support. Quite complicated
and not recommended for anyone without the technical know-how.
The second way is to become a re-seller for an established host. For a monthly fee you can have an allotment of disk space and bandwidth
which can be used to sell to other people. Re-selling is usually anonymous – there is no visible connection to the parent host and you are
free to set your own prices and develop your own ‘brand’.
All that is needed to become a re-seller is the ability to pay the monthly fee. All the technical details are handled by the parent
company. The re-seller package usually includes everything – even name servers under your own name. All you have to do is to sign up
customers and watch the money roll in. Easy – right?
Signing up customers, though, may not be as easy as you imagine. There are literally thousands of hosting companies competing for
customers, and making your web hosting business stand out from the crowd is no mean feat. Just think about the process you went through in
choosing your own web host. You probably visited several hosting web sites, maybe asked for personal references from your friends or
business acquaintances, and then after narrowing down your choices, perhaps did more in-depth research on each of the companies. Or perhaps
you just signed up with the first host you saw.
