), this would not be just for mc servers, I would like options for my customers.
+1, not trying to be mean but if you really don't got an idea on how to run it then you shouldn't start as it could lead to a failure.
lmao so true, do it right after Christmas when everybody is looking for servers with a lot of $$ on them
No I have a plan to make my service more attractive. But I do agree it's an over saturated market.
The point of this thread is to start learning, I'm doing extensive research into the market and everything else to ensure success. I'm also not rushing into it.
I don't have the money laying around and I'm not only using this thread, as I said above I'm doing extensive research.If you have this money just sitting there you could possibly give out some loans while you learn more about hosting to expand your budget and get better knowledge. Its hard to just learn the ropes from comments on a thread it takes a bit of time and research
You have to get experience somehow.
If you're really wanting to do this, I'd first start off by finding contacts, contacts as in people to do business with. I would focus on gaining a solid reputation on minecraft communities such as on here or anywhere else. I would also set a goal on what your doing for everyone, don't just simply say "We're doing this to make people spend less money on hosting" instead say/set your mind on something unique, set yourself out from the other 1000 plus hosting companies that are out there. Finally look towards on collocating a few machines with good specs, getting a professional website, getting WHMCS and a mc server panel installed on your machine. If you have leftovers than look for making your company registered/legalized as well.Hello, I am looking into creating a hosting service (not Minecraft exclusive) and I would like some general tips, info, and perhaps a decent part list put together.
Note: Budget is $800-1000 (Which I would have to raise
Thanks for the advice.
No problem, I wanted to help out rather than being a bashful person that says "don't do it" or "you're wasting your time".Thanks for the advice.
And excuse me, you know nothing about me how could you reasonably say that.
You've created a thread asking for tips about the industry. Creating a business plan is all about knowing the industry so yeah. I'm confident that you don't really know what you're getting yourself into otherwise you wouldn't be creating this thread.
Well you said that I do not know how to compile a business plan which is how I took it and that is false, in this particular field I have to do more research before even drafting a business plan. Thanks for your concern.
Thank you.
Do you have a portfolio?
