Your Experience Running a Hosting Biz

[Jayson]

What are some strategies for being successful? How was your attempt? Myself, I found it to be a saturated market. In fact, even low prices are not convincing to buyers.

Well, looking back, some improvements might be emphasizing some free SSL deal like Let's Encrypt or maybe offering a free trial. Nonetheless, Let's Encrypt wasn't available then and many reseller offers won't allow you to give away hosting.

Do not rip off your clients

I know this is a bit of an old thread, but I find “budget” hosts to be unreliable so I avoid them. I go for a mid-cost option usually, so if I were starting a hosting business, I would aim at that market.

Never ran one before and I don't think I be very good.

I do not have the interests to even do it.

I've always wanted to run a hosting business. It seems like a fun thing to do from the outside. But I guess it's not so much right now because of how many hosting sites there are out there, especially at such competitive prices.

I guess the most important thing is to have good customer service so no one is disappointed with your services.
