Yes Im going to post here and release this information

[Knogle]

You could just put a general/approximate.. No one is asking for exact specs

[Noodles]

well why don't you post how much you're making?

[m00ds]

You won't get much around here by asking those questions, webhosting owners on wht are very secretive . I think it would be better if you posted a poll, so they can post anonymously.

most of us make alot ;]

Mainly because posting what they make would call their bluff and reveal they are one person shows and only host a limited number of customers, unlike what their about us page tells.

some of us do alot more then sell hosting ;]

UmBillyCord, I agree with you

nin, not all hosts make a lot, too many out there, too many go under for a lot to make money.

im beginning to believe that those that send targetted traffic to hosts make alot more than hosts. they also dont have to put up with the whining.


i read a post on this subject about a year ago, the host claimed he wasnt making alot, enough for a truck payment and some other stuff.


my goal is to cover the expensive private school my daughter goes to, and ive made it in a year and a half.

some in the biz hit big, some stay small, and some burn out.

try to be humble about your strengths and realistic about your goals. you're not going to be the next verio but you can make enough to pay for some fringes that make life better....

More than you.




Seriously though, I:

a) dont understand why you care and
b) dont expect a single person to tell you

2) If you're a employer/president, what's your salary like per month?

It'd be interesting to compare this throughout the webhosting industry

1. Not even enough to get a private plane.
2. So little, I cant afford a Ferrari :-(

[greatbeast]

Well, I'll level with you....

Just between you, me, and the wall....


(Since I havent yet gone into hosting as a business and I am still doing it as a hobby)

I've been paid in lots of thank you's, a hard drive, a CPU, and...well my girlfriend has been supplied with a free domain...

Lets say she's grateful for my generousity.


(Not sure how much that will help you out)

[AcuNett]

1) $197/month

2) $25,000 /month
