landing a job in the hosting industry
Hi all
I have been working as a developer for few years now and recently have been running my own studio, but I am also very interested in the hosting industry. I love servers and I simply enjoy fixing and learning shall any problems come up during the process. So I was thinking of taking a break and spending some time in the hosting industry too, or heck even do both at times. What advice can you guys hand to me?
I was thinking of maybe starting as a support and then see where things would go form there.
I would like to know how would you choose a hosting provider to work for and what kind of usual requirements there are, working from home or office, experience and other benefits.
thanks for the interest
Vladimir

Thread cleaned. The rest of offtopic discussion moved to The Cest Pit.
Some hosting companies still need a front-end developer(and someone who can solve some problems in WHMCS with some custom PHP code and shizzle)
You could try to look for a developer job at as hosting company and ask if you could do some support work too.
The desire to learn, an understanding of the basic logic of how things in the industry flow together, takes criticism well. That's what I would look for in someone for basic support. They have to know enough to not break things, and enough to know when to say "I don't know how, can you show me?"
