Hi all,
I want your opinion specially those who tried the whole web hosting business, i just sold my successful Free Hosting Business, actually it was my second free hosting. The last one was really successful hosting more than 35k clients generating around $1k /month after expenses but i had to sell it for cash.

Anyway i have gone through all free hosting related issues, starting with expenses, marketing, abuse and fraud handling etc.. and i was successful!

But i guess it is not the same thing here, I guess paid hosting needs extra care with more cash to spend.

I need your feedback, what is the potential here? does it worth? I appreciate your experience guys.

Cheers.

Your post is kind of all over the place. What exactly is it you are trying to do? Start a paid hosting business?

The market is there, people are always lookin to start a website. But, there is more to it than free hosting. With paid hosting you will need to really be there for your clients. Have more money to invest upfront, and be a good salesman.

You need to sit down and write a business plan. It isn't some get rich quick scheme. It will take you months and months to even break even, average is 3 months for your first customer (from what I've seen and experianced).

It takes a lot of time and dedication. If you are operating by yourself, you will need to be able to monitor your support desk. Its not something that you can just walk away from for a few hours. Clients expect responses in a timely manner.
