New Webhosting Biz
This summer, I will be launching my web hosting biz. The biggest pain right now is finding a name that has not been taken :-( I made a huge list of potential names and all have already been used. Can anyone offer some suggestions on web hosting names? If anyone comes up with something REALLY GOOD, that person will get 1 year of complimentary service!!
For the next few months, it's all sweat work of making the web site. The initial site will include a 60 page support library! The support library is by far the most difficult part. I've noticed almost no hosting companies has a support library.
To get this going, I'm starting out local. With a $3000.00 startup budget, I will be relying on local advertising and trade shows to gain exposer. DFW area is a big place with lots of trade shows. Working at DFW airport will help me alot too :-) For the initial accounts, I will just use resellers while I learn how to use a dedicated server.
As far a pricing goes, I will price fairly and accordingly. A price war will just sink my budget in a hurry and attract a bunch of hungry dogs that don't want to pay their bills LOL! I've seen many make this mistake on WHT.
If all goes well for the 1st year, I will consider adding another $2000.00 to this investment. Of course, with such a tight market, I must wait a few years before seeing some return on my investment. In the end, I think I can wing it inspite of all the negative publicity out there.
