Need some help ...


Hello, im setting up a new hosting service. Ill be offering some good cheap packages.

Im not to sure what to do about the server? Should I start with a reseller? Then move up to a raq?

I looked at RAQ 4r, but there is a 12 month contract This would not be good for me. What would you suggest.

I dont mind paying out the extra bucks for a RAQ 4r server, but what sort of chance would I have of having orders in the first month ... this would be very important ... I know that I will offer a good fast cheap service and after I have my forst 5 clients or so I would be ok.

The question I ask you guys is, how much orders could I be expecting in the first month? ... Honestly ... I could really do with some good advice

Please let me know what you think ...

Thanks again


Chris

The last Thursday was our fist month birthday.
In that time, we get 19 accounts, and we have 1 week don't taking orders because a problem with my Merchant Account.
We have 7 accounts like free trial waiting that I get the M.A. to pay or not.
I hope that this help you.
Regards

Thanks for your help

I'll only say that one, or anyone's experience won't have much bearing or meaning on what will happen to you. So many factors can affect the outcome of *your* experiences that there isn't any sense in comparing anything.

Every aspect of what you offer and your company will determine whether you are successful and get signups who stay with you. These include, but are not limited to:

Server
CP for users
Connectivity
Sales replies
Support replies
Website itself (all areas)
Ways you advertise
and the list goes on and on...
