Starting A Hosting Company

[ErrCode19]

I am starting a hosting company. First a will need a name, any ideas? My budget is $150, I will need a Vps and a website and anything else I'm not sure where do I get what I need for as cheap as I can? What else do I need? Help?

Do you know Linux and general IT well enough to start a company? Its not quite as simple as installing multicraft. You have to make things secure, and do everything you can to keep your clients data safe. You will likely need a high storage VPS or something along those lines that you can use to backup your data. You could also do with a dedi that comes with 2 hard drives / SSD’s that way you can setup RAID 1. You will also need some usage caps setting up, to prevent 1 server, tanking the CPU, or using all the bandwidth, this is just to name but a few thing.

OVH for the dedi. You can get a 128GB node like mine for around $140 a month.

OVH is generally not a bad company. However, he did state his budget is "$150". Which is, TBH, a low amount. He will spend $140 on hosting, but, $10 on a Website / WHCMS / etc?

Are you kidding me? A signature which is in the 2nd row, for $10/week?
Let me guess, your host prices will be around $50/GB?

This is quite irrelevant please don't shit post

Get WHMCompleteSolutions for automation;If you want web hosting get CPanel and it's WHMCS plugin.

There are cheaper alternatives but you'd most likely want to change to this over time and that can be painful

For a start up ehh...licenses for everything make prices go up.

So you'll need multicraft as well-one sec on pricing

I think the general theme here is you need a bigger budget. Go get a part time job or wait till Christmas and then pray for customers.
