What motivated you and still does today?
Just wondering and wanting to know what motivated you into building a web hosting company?
Also what keeps you trying and won't make you back down from running your web hosting business? Is it your family, friends or even the pride of providing god services to people?

I enjoy it because it is fun and I enjoy every order we get it is kind if like a mini high. A feeling of building something that is global we have customers all over the world and it is a feeling of pride and accomplishment. As it is not easy we spend and fight for every customer that orders.
"Build it and they will come" does not work for hosting at all. It more like build it work you ass off then work some more spend a ton and maybe they will come!
One thing that keeps me going is I an neck deep in it and << my company >> is really starting to grow every month we get more orders than the last that perpetual growth makes you wonder how large can my company get.Last edited by writespeak; 05-02-2012 at 08:22 PM.

Money motivates me, providing for my family, not having to live off state, friends and family, having food on the table, and clothes on my childrens' backs etc.

I've been a customer for the greater part of my life, I started my hosting company for me. Create what you want to buy, it's hard to lose motivation for that.

Helping customers & I love the feeling of being in full control of my company & the direction it takes.
Not having a boss is probably my biggest motivator, the fought of working for someone else again keeps me working hard & motivated. I can honestly say that if someone offered me a job for double what I make now I wouldn't take it.
I would also say that seeing my company grow is a big motivator.
Lastly I really like the fact that I'm dealing with people from different countries and cultures, it's extremely exciting.█ Zomex ~ Templates & services for web hosting resellers since 2009!

It's just fun to see a happy client say thank you or see that they're happy! =) And every order I receive makes me feel happy.
But the thing I don't like is that my site is making me sleep bad, I can wake up in the middle of the night to check my phone for new emails. (tickets)www.Hostzoom.net

Well, I am not a hosting company, but I'd like to participate in the theme of the question. I like being in business for many reasons.
For starters, I enjoy constantly learning and taking on new challenges. Every new business I encounter is a new challenge. It is a new learning block because every business is run differently which requires different strategies, paradigms, concepts, and other tools I use based on what my clients needs are.
In addition to my own personal well being, I enjoy helping others. Not everyone can be an expert in every field (hence why there are so many different positions in a company, and so many different industries). Creating synergies between different departments can lead to some very interesting new ideas.Doug

I have been in this business for almost 10 years. All the guys in the company enjoy what they are doing. We have turned down at least five buyout offers within the last 3 years and we love to continue doing web hosting business.

My reason matches up with alot of others. I like ruining a business because I like helping others build their website and I providing good top of the line services to people all around the world. Every day a new order comes in I get to meet a web master from any where in the world..
I also aggree that having.a business online can.keep you up late nights or have you waking up in the middle of the night having to answer a couple of tickets or emails.

I do it because it's a challenge for me. And because my clients are like my family (some of them are even on my personal facebook account) seeing them grow is wonderful. Also, it gives me control, and it gives me the power to help others, specially the non-technical folks. Plus the money, plus learning from experience.
I'm a web hosting enthusiast, a media graduate and a web geek..

Helping others succeed personally give me a satisfaction. Helping small businesses, and seeing them succeed by far is what motivates me the most!
