I've got that down pat. Just thinking about finances at the moment, thanks.

Quote:Can you make payments for all things such as hosting, domains, advertising, themes, and all the rest of it with a debit card? I know a lot of sites offer credit card payment methods, but I wasn't sure if debit cards worked the same. I have a debit card. My PayPal account is in debt of $200, so I won't be using that. I was just inquiring. Thanks for the info'.

Yeah, most sites should take debit cards as that's all I use online. I've never had a site say no.

About $200 would be good start imo.

$100 to domain + host / year.
$100-150 to theme + ad.

That seems very acceptable also. Thanks mate. I might want to put a little more towards advertising, however. Who knows.

I soon open an ad service.
Cheap, good, fast, works 100%.

How much did you start with and was your forum a success?

I'd say probably enough for 6 months of hosting (to get your site off the ground), a custom theme and graphics such as user bars, banners, and icons. So probably somewhere ~$100

I started with about 20 bucks when I was 17, I am now 22 and I have around 60 websites and 150 domains. I have a pretty big client base for SEO as well.

My websites mainly consist of adsense sites and amazon.

I've just started and I paid for 3 months webhosting + domain to $40 for that. I bought a vBulletin License $195, I then bought a custom theme €35. I then paid for GFX work £20.

So all in all:

GBP: £180
USD: $279

I see. Hopefully you won't need to put much more (if any) into it for the next three months also. Link me to your site (if it's up yet), also.
