Greetings members of WJunction,

After researching in-depth on web hosting, I have planned on opening a hosting company. Well, initially I will start from small, and for that I will be requiring some help.

This thread is a call out for all those who have a dream of making or working within a hosting provider.

I will be mainly looking for people who are not only going to make money but their main aim is to provide a quality service and to be dedicated.

I am not looking for an employee, rather some one who will be working side by side with me and will have the same target of success - A partner.

Currently Looking for:


  • ORmyO.png
    Technical Person who will be helping me with the setup and all other technical related issues.

  • ORmyO.png
    Someone to help me with the main website of the host and managing it.
  • ORmyO.png
    A Graphic Artist, who will be helping us with the necessary Graphic Works.

That is probably it. I will be updating this thread when ever I have something. I have got a great domain and name for the host in my mind, so I guess I can pursue work in no time if the team can be gathered as soon as possible.

Thanks to everyone for helping me out always.

Hope I can make this work and help everyone back.

P.S. All interested, please drop by your Email Address here.

Opening a hosting company is no fun game. If you're going to venture in that area, my prime suggestion would be you have enough budget and reserve fund to back you up.

When I say 'reserve fund' I don't mean a hundred bucks. IMO, you can't really start a hosting company with anything less than a thousand bucks to invest initially with at least another thousand or two in reserve, should something go wrong or should you experience explosive growth.
 
I would be interested in helping, I have worked on servers in the past, and will be good at helping customers and you if you need to know anything.

I could help with the development of the hosting company, I am not in this for the money I would just like to help.
 
I would be a technical staff member if you set the company up, I would expect to get a little money in return though, depending on what is required. I can set up a wide range and I am mostly skilled in Ubuntu

Thanks for the heads up Lifetalk. As I said, I will not be going with hundreds of customers. I may want to go and check my abilities with some fewer number of customers. But seriously, thanks for the advise. Will keep it in mind

Sure man. That would be awesome
 
I would like to lend a helping hand as well. Though need to talk to you personally about few things(not monetary) before that.
 
Noticed your post... Ive always wanted to start a hosting company its just the money that kills it for me...

First things before you start..
1. Do you have a web panel license? (open panels wont work out for live hosting unless your really smart)

2. Have you found a good datacenter? (Id advise leaseweb for fast nodes for offshore hosting)

3. Are you technical with linux???

4. Do you know the specs of a dedi you can afford to buy for hosting?

Other then that i'd be willing to hop on and help you do the server setup and also id be willing to help with server issues... Also fix everything users need fixed... That way if you know your linux then we can have multiple servers soon...

Other then that hope you do great :)

Answer: That shouldn't be a problem I think

2. Have you found a good datacenter? (Id advise leaseweb for fast nodes for offshore hosting)

Answer: I am setting up deals with one very good DC. And they also offered me some nice plans. Maybe I'll go with them

3. Are you technical with linux???

Answer: I think so, and plus I got people to help, as I can see in my thread

4. Do you know the specs of a dedi you can afford to buy for hosting?

Answer: Will be thinking about that after I get the blocks of my team together.
 
Answer: Go with a stable web hosting provider rather than someone who "thinks" they know what they are doing and "is testing themselves with a few clients."
 
Well, I am not targeting a 100 customers on the first go. It will be impossible for me to handle so much, im not being some cool guy wanting to go big. Instead, i am planning to start small and take one step at a time. Look back, all who wanted to go big on the first go are either out of business or messed up.

I just don't want to keep any chance of messing up and hence "thinking" and "testing"' about it
 
Please don't think i was trying to offend you on your thoughts i think someone who is willing can do anything...

Do you have a msn or something we can talk and i can help you on the go... I actually worked for hostgator on alot of stuff of course they wouldn't take my ideas since they have over 140+servers and didn't want to do the work...

(trust me i remember their monitor site where each server load could be seen and which ones were down... It was horrible all of the servers with 10 or more were going over 10% usage)

Lifetalk wasn't talking about the number of customers you are going to target but he was talking about your available funds before investing in this project.
He said that you can't make a web hosting if you have some hundred bucks (means hundreds of dollars) but you need thousands to start a web hosting business as its not a fun game :)

Hope that i clarifies it to you now ;)

Not a problem man, even though I could have invested thousands, but I planned on going with a big name instead of taking the trouble. In that post, I meant, I wont be targeting hundreds of customers, for which a great investment is needed.

Thanks for the replies guys. As I have started with a Company, I would want this thread to be closed.

ViPeRR please send me a PM
