Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Running a Web Hosting Business : what would you do

[sfera]

im a reseller and here is what i have (resellerzoom advanced package)
5000MB disk space
75g of Data Transfer
Reselling allowed

what would be some reasonable packages that i could start marketing. this may sound a bit lazy but i wanted some people that have been doing this a while to throw some ideas. I am thinking of 3 different packages for shared hosting.

what ya think?

I really don't think that people are going to spend much time just posting different ways you can configure your hosting packages.

I would suggest you check out your competition and see what they are offering. There are more than enough web hosts that post here that you should get more then enough data collected to get an idea what you could offer.

Just remember that there are hosts out there that oversell heavily and give the farm away for pennies on the dollar. Don't even try to match them, or you will fail before you even begin.

Good luck.

As svdorr said check out the competition, but don't look at just the cheap ones, look at some long term players who have made it a few years.

Also once you have some numbers make sure it works with your business plan. A good business plan can be very important is starting up a new company. Not everyone does, but it well likely help longterm.

You may also want to do a search on the forum for this topic, it has come up before, in the reseller hosting section as well as in running a webhosting business.
