An offer for someone who is willing to have a successful hosting company but doesn’t want to deal with all its technical aspects, sales, promotion and end user support
OR
for someone who already runs a hosting business but wants to compete with others by providing additional services.

There’s a good team of web developers; Flash/graphic designers; business developers/marketing specialists; network administrators ready to work for you.

We have an experience of promotion and tech support of US hosting companies. Now we are interested in finding a company (or a person) that will hire us as a team.

>We can offer the full range of services you need in web hosting business:
> online promotion;
>client support and maintenance of clients’ web sites;
> re-design and customization of osCommerce shopping cart, support of osCommerce online shops*;
> web development*;
>network administration/tech support*
at extremely competitive rates.

On average you will spend only $550/month for the whole tech support and promotion of your company – instead of hiring a full in-house IT team and spending a fortune on this business.
Cost of services marked with an asterix (*) can be negotiated.

Please contact us for an additional information.

Thank you.

I would suggest you share more information about your experience....how you will provide the service, where you are located...do you have a web site?

Rather than an impulse type item, this is a serious business decision you are advertising for. Obviously people can contact you for more information, but I think you would improve your probability of success by disclosing more up front.

I am going to send you a PM today.

We do share more detailed information about our location, fields of experience, hourly fees for additional services, the companies we have been dealing with, but as some of this information is related to other companies (URLs, feedback of customers), we prefer to send it via PMs and not post it online here.

$550 US/month will include:

1. Standard technical support, including keeping an eye over the servers of the hosting company.
In the beginning of the cooperation we can configure the server software, improve the security.
(Installation of additional software afterwards will be regarded as an additional network administration service and we can negotiate our hourly fees for this kind of job, from $5 US for a dirty routine work up to $15 US for high quality network administration services)

2. 8-10 hours a day, Monday-Friday, 8 am - 6 pm GMT dedicated to:
user support: answering emails, trouble tickets, resolving users' problems, answering presales questions of your potential clients;

site support: updating your web pages, composing some technical/promotional texts about your products & services;

advertising: promotion on specialized forums, message boards; creation of Meta tags and submission of your web site to major search engines, tracking your ranking in the search engines.

Just want to make it clear: you get "1 person working for you 10 hours a day, or 10 people working 1 hour a day".

e.g. our usual working day for you can look like this:
2 hours are spent on promotion, 4 hours are dedicated to user support, 3 hours - checking the server work.
