just a minor observation. I spent an hour or so browsing through the posts ofp eople wanting an opinion on their site.

seems like every other one was for a small hosting company.

looks like everyone and their mother is trying to sell hosting?

is their lots ofmoney in this?

isnt the market oversaturated?

i am a newbie at this so please be gentle on me

Actually there is some money to be made but after going into business I realized it was not all it is cracked up to be. I started with a reseller account which was about the best move I ever made. About a year later I had 50 accounts moved dedicated and have been happy ever since. I would not plan on quitting my day job for a while if I was you.. For some reason though I get the feeling that this is all kind of a fad and soon enough all these fly by day hosts will find something else to do and shut down shop.. So again its not an overnight thing but if you stick through it you will see results after a while.. Sometimes a long while such as myself and sometimes less time all depends on the strategy..

Yes I think that the market is becomming very saturated because a lot of people think it's a good way to make an easy buck which is definetly not true!! Lately I have seen a lot of these new startup's failing and going under because the did not know how competitive the market was. There can be money in it if you are ready to spend time at it!! ;)
