Someone?
why sell web hosting here you need to sell VPS too.
Starting with dedicated hosting from the start it will cost you to much. Do not forget the licenses.
I recommend to start with reseller hosting or master reseller hosting.
Good luck and keep it up!
For VPS you need tons of IP.
But if i get some clients i'm sure i will intruduce VPS plans!
I recommend you don't bother if your idea of market research is to ask a forum full of twats.
V. sad
Yeah. But many master resellers are over 29.95 euro. And that is what i can get a dedi for.
I know cPanel costs a little bit more on a dedicated but i want to have the control.
Thanks for the comment and i will keep up!
I've researched for a while and obly found good things about Online.
But if someone knows a better thing that would be cool.
Do you have enough knowledge to manage a dedicated server and needy customers?
Can you handle tickets?
A dedicated server + cPanel licence is like at least twice an expensive reseller package. You can find cheaper plans.
Without knowing IF you will get any customers, going for a dedicated is... Well...
Sorry I forgot, it's summer already.
(:
Yes i have managed a few hosting servers. And i even had my own.
I think your post was quite useless if you compare to any others.
Some you have no faith in your research, or you know you only phoned it in.
I've reaearched and contacted their support asking questions.
If you're looking in the same price range, you have QuickPacket, DelimiterVPS, Dacentec, Datashack, Wholesale Internet, Quadix, Leaseweb, Hetzner, Worldstream, OneProvider, Servdiscount and so on.
Thanks theres 2 of them i haven't heard of. I will take a closer look. Thanns for a little bit more serious and helping comment!
Yeah. I saw Dacentec yesterday and i wondered how they could have so low prices and i sent a pre sales mail with still no answear.
good list! maybe add i3D.net to it
http://www.i3d.net/deals/
Did you bother researching any other providers?
Yes.
But alot of them suspends you after an ddos attack. And therefore i chose to skip them.
All providers who not advertise DDoS protection with the product will suspend you. Maybe www.seflow.net is an option for you?
Depending on the magnitude of the attack, OVH or Online might just as well.
BTW, where do you live? I don't remember seeing an "allowed countries list" when I was getting my Kimsufi.
Online.net is great it have good network and nice performance. myself I'm using it for webhosting also their automated system let you know if someone is sending spam from your server abusing etc
I use their Plesk licence as its nice and cheap.
They don't allow Swedish and sweden phone number.
Have you ever got ddosed with them?
I can be null routed that's fine. Just not suspended.
DON'T. JUST DON'T.
The world does not need another summer kiddie host that is so moron to think, renting an idiotic cheap dedicated server, could do money selling unstable shared hosting by fooling customers that they do not know from whom they are buying.
Being a provider is not a fun game - at least for your customers. You maybe fool some of them to believe that you are capable to do it, but you aren't nothing more than an amateur that becaused he read sometimes LET, WHT and learnd how to setup a shared environment. Setting up a crappy own hosting vps, does not make you capable to sell hosting.
Oh, all of you guys, you make me sick...
If everyone makes you sick.
Why do you go to the forums?
No, pal. You and people like you are making me sick. Because you just want to earn some bucks by setting up a kiddie host for some months and then run away. Because if you don't know what server to buy, if you are looking for the cheaper option just because you don't have a dime, if you are willing to enter into the hosting industry without having a clue about it, just because you... learned kow to setup a sever, then, you are obvious a scammer.
Yes, scammer. Because, only a scammer would setup a hosting business, take other people's money as a "professional provider", without the minimum requirements of how and why to do it, without proper funding, without proper knowledge.
And, I'm done from this thread. Good luck to you, or, better, good luck to your future victims...
C'mon... Don't be so harsh. As long as it runs usually LET encourages one man shows such as GoodHosting. And now see what happened. Without failing at least once they can't learn how to not fail right? Also LET has seen examples of not just shared hosts or VPS'es but people selling dedicated servers and some "experienced" people bought and got conned as well.
We can't know he's the next summer host or the next RamNode, can we now? (:
Maybe if you're hosting only your local clients that you know face to face, it is a good choice.
Otherwise, it is a bad choice indeed. Nobody needs a new summer host.
BTW, @emgh strange, even I got in even though I don't live in a EU nation.
Damn, that's escalated quickly.
