alright well i got my servers up and ready, got my tech guys ready, have some friends of mine hosted right now and everything is running great. But what do I do next, i need to find user CPs and some other stuff. What should I do about advertising?

If you are doing web hosting, you might want to register you hosting company to many web hosting directories. :cool:

how do i go about doing that?

Fill me in too!

I also want to know some directories.

Are you kidding? :confused:

http://www.webhostingvillage.com
http://www.findwebspace.com
http://www.comparewebhosts.com
http://hostglobal.com

and there are so many more - just read this forum...

Here you go, start with this lot:

http://dir.yahoo.com/Business_and_Economy/Business_to_Business/Communications_and_Networking/Internet_and_World_Wide_Web/Network_Service_Providers/Hosting/Web_Site_Hosting/Directories/

If your dedicated and want to succeed you should list your site and all plans in ever single one. I have and it took me days and days but was worth it.

That is unless you have a big budget and then you should just go and buy some advertising..

try advertising on google.com :D

Isn't this something you should have researched and written down into a business plan before you bought the machines and setup shop? I am assuming you are doing this as a business and want to offer web hosting services. Why does everyong think that setting up a business takes no prior planning, just setup shop and worry about the details as you go.

Sorry, end of rant.

Yeah i've seen many people do this... no planning no thing.. get a cobalt at RackShack and resell like hell! :)

Every night, before I go to sleep, I thank *somebody* for guys like this. No planning = No competition.

Thanks!

LOL

we'll i do believe if we search the boards we can come up with atleast a 100 companies like this :D
