I am trying to offer VPS services out of my few dedicated bare metals. Help! :-)

Any advice for me trying to start a new hosting business?

These are not my own machines and I am basically trying to sell VPSs made out of bare metals that I rent from bigger companies. -I have my colo machine in Ashburn, VA but it is an old one so I would not use it for it. >:)

I can accept any input other than "don't do that." :s

    First you need to do your own assessment about budget and margin, ask yourself this: does it worth it? what can I offer that others can't? before anything else really. we don't want deadpooling :wink:

    I have some idea about "What can I offer that others can't"

    But, my budge is small and there I only have to start small -basically one man show at first- and it looks like it takes time and efforts, almost 24/7 to be a good provider. That's also labor intensive before seeing sizable income.

    Find your Budget , Start Small get yourself some Budget Servers and build up from it ,

    IPS are stupid prices now , if you can might even be worth while you grabing a ASN and annoucing ips depending how quick you grow and demand for ips you need

    Did you advertise at first in the internet?
    How did you find your customer base? Did you find customers here too?
