Hosting -Howto ? - Shattering - - 02-26-2012
Hello,
Me and my friend want to start a little hosting company. My friend creates a lot of websites for other friends etc, and that's the reason.. so in the beginning we will have about 10 clients, and then we want to search new clients , gain some money and expand.
Or first question; To start; Should we buy some Reseller hosting, or install our own box at home (Bandwidth is not a problem).
Does anybody have some other tips for us ?

You should start with reseller that's what I will advise with my experience.. Installing a box has many problems like right climate condition, bandwidth and then the content which is uploaded etc...
Take a good reseller plan from a trusted hosting company and you should be good to go.
Wish you luck and PM me if you need any help. I have quite alot of experience in this field

You should start doing a little research into hosting, networking and marketing first. You can't just go jumping into a pool head first without knowing how to swim, so to speak, so do you research first. Then start of with reseller and then branch off as you grow...

I recommend you start with a reseller off someone reputable. This is how i started, once you gain enough customers move to a VPS/dedi.
As long as your website is professional and is integrated with your billing system you will get sales.
PM me if you want further information about setting up a hosting business and what's involved.

I Have A lot of knowledge about networking (I Study system/network maintenance) so that's no problem for me.
Everybody says that we need to start with a reseller ^^. So we've googled a bit and we found this one:
http://www.eleven2.com/
Looks cheap, looks good. Anybody that has some experience with this one?
Thank you very much.

I know something much cheaper than that, http://www.ixam-hosting.com.
Cheap & reliable so far as I can see
RE: Hosting -Howto ? - Cam - 02-28-2012
After looking at ixam-hosting.com and eleven2 here is the breakdown.
eleven2 has free billing software like whmcs at eleven2, normally you can get it for $13/m at http://www.licensepal.com/
so either way it will run you 20/m to start, although it will cost you only $15 for your first month at eleven2. (so not cheaper //vince, its the same amount.)
I'm not an advertiser for eleven2 but I can tell you the support there is actually very good. Can't say anything about ixam, never tried them.

eleven2.com are great providers, I can vouch for them.. Also you should search fo their coupon code which will give u a good discount
