managed wordpress hosting

i want to start my own hosting company!

People with huge hosting companies don't generally use that much disk either. If you have that much disk content, the CPU, evne if a big one, will most likly not be able to handle it. That's why you get 4 servers with 250GB Disk rather than one with 1TB of disk space.
 
No offence MATSTA, but I think you still have some research to do. (Going on your last request - 5Gb/100Gb) - a normal server deal at the moment is with 2000Gb so your asking for 1/20th of that as a reseller, take an average budget cost of $200/month (without host additional costs) $10, include support and various (and there are lots) costs $10-20.

Your still asking too much for free (or now payed), you don't say what you'll charge, can you offer something competitive in the market (and it's pretty well covered), you need to revisit your thoughts on entering a very competitive and sometimes unrewarding market. It's not as easy as it might look. I'm not trying to put you off but speaking from experience, you slipped at the first post suggesting you need more knowledge about hosting before giving it a go.

Have a bit of a think about it first, I added a couple of bits to your quoted post as a pointer, hope it helps, and advertising with banners or any other ad is not any sort of guarentee for payment (it's a risk for the host).

I like that your trying to start your own company at such a young age. Im 13 aswell and just started a company this year. Its good to get some experience with CPanel, WHM and working with clients before you start your own company. Try volunteering with a small web hosting company and you'll learn alot about how to deal with clients and fix problems fast. I personally never worked for another webhosting company, I just started using CPanel alot and when I found a problem I asked one of my friends who knew about web hosting, and when he told me how to solve the problem I never forgot. Get some nice experience with CPanel, plesk and what ever other CPanel you want to train with. Request some free webspace, and maybe a very small reseller, just to find out what WHM is like and when you think your ready they get a decent sized reseller. Start of small is the best.

Call me stupid...but how can someone who is 13 legally run a business. It can not be done. If you are not incorporated, or LLC, or anything you can't legally bind people to contracts, Terms of Service, AUP's, nothing. You are holding yourself completely liable for your customers actions. I can not even believe I am seeing this sort of thing.

If infact you are not incorporated, nor any other legal form, I would HIGHLY suggest you stop doing business. Its not practical. Your 13, be a kid, have fun, go to the skating ring, go bowling, chat on Yahoo!, but don't try and start a hosting company, any company for that matter, until you are of legal age.
 
Dependant on legalities in the country you trade from 18 and up is the limit.

Legally anyone under the age for trading - parents beware as you are responsible.

As HostFrog pointed out - kids, it's to be admired that you want to do something but money, reputation, longevity, time, work, and loads more.

For example if you have to go to school - who's watching the business.
 
Take for example the whole big thread in the GD about the kid who really is going to be in big trouble after his actions. You can't trust kids, that's the whole fact of the matter. There are no exceptions, you cannot handle continously working.
 
Ok first yes im a kid, only 20 days untill im a teenager, and this is going to be a FREE host not paid, so im thinking if i put ads on peoples site ill make enough momey to pay for the host, im going to try to get enough moeny to invest in the host and plus ive found a decent plan:
40 Gb Space
750 Gb Bandwidth
UNLIMITED DATABASES
Ok so anyone wanna beat that!
 
On that plan you placed here that doesnt include a price right? If it doesnt then you may as well go ahead and go with them while you can. Good luck.
 
Thats a small dedicated server. For $9.99. Good luck with the service level and if they terminate you after one day to take your money. May I ask who the offerer is? Please tell.

Is that just one plan?

I figured it was rajhosting. Good luck, see the thread here on his offers. There has been one complaint about services not delivered as promised.

Rajhosting.com said they terminated that dudes account because he put childs internet porn on the host.

Anyways masta I doubt you even have the resource to do all that.
 
Yeh, so they say. Seems I got it twisted up a bit. Anyhow, thats an iffy source but if you have $10 to burn give it a shot and let us know how it goes.
