Hey is it better if you run your own server than outsourcing and getting reseller accounts or dedicated servers.

How much does it cost you and how many hours a day do you spend on maitaining theh server.

The cost and hours spent administrating your server can vary depending on the size of your customer base, the number of servers and the type of support involved. If you have little time to manage a dedicated server, why not go for a managed server solution? It may cost a little more but you spend less time looking after it.

It is recommended that you use a reseller account because your reseller will have to worry about security, admin problems and you can learn from them by asking different questions while your on your reseller account. It save you time and hassels of monitoring uptimes and learning the lingo.

It cost me my life, my youth, my everything, my doctor bills, my valium etc etc, running servers is a nightmare, if I can relive my life again, I would let someone do the job.

If everything runs great just a quick check for new vulnerabilities and for any customer problems...if there are problems then there is no bet on how long it can take!

100 to 200 Dollars per month, about 30 minutes per server
