When you run a web hosting business, it can be grueling and tiresome. There are a lot of different aspects one must remember. A lot of people think that starting a hosting business is:


1. Access to quick cash.
2. Build a site and let it sit there, customers will come.
3. Supporting clients will be easy.


These in my eyes are the worst idea?s to go into the business with! You may get a few customers at first and with a few customers comes a little bit of money. Most web hosts don?t realize that if they don?t have backup funding that they need to save that money. Thus creating a fly-by-the-night web host because they don?t have the money to pay for there server at the end of the month.



You need to know many things when becoming a web host. You must have more then basic linux knowledge or have the funds to hire someone who does. Your server may not hiccup for the first few months because your not hosting many websites. I can promise you that after you start hosting more clients your server will start to incur issues that need to be researched and fixed by someone who knows what they are doing. One mistake and you lose everything, including the clients that you have.




Don?t like alarm clocks going off at 3 or 4am? Then i recommend straying away from this business. Imagine yourself sleeping really well and all of the sudden your computer starts going off. What is that you ask? Its one of your clients needing help. What? Your tired? It doesn?t matter! They are paying you for a service and there website doesn?t close so why should the web host! Get your butt up and answer it! That is just a start.


Do you think you have an awesome social life? Not anymore; starting a web hosting company requires that you tell your friends no when they ask you to go out to the bar, go on dates and simply hangout. You must attend to your business in order to keep it growing and keep the current clients that you have.





There are so many different hosts out there, and i have visited a few hundred of them late at night and early in the morning that say they provide 24/7/365 support, but yet i can never get an answer from them when i ask. Yeah, they are probably just snoring away in there comfy bed while true clients are having issues. To me that is seriously unfair and against all morals of being a web host.




This is just a simple thrown together way of telling you what its like being a web host. I am in no way at all saying not to get into the business, but if you are going to do it, please do it correctly. So many people get ripped off everyday by fly-by-the-night web hosts that it makes them not want to trust another one. Thus making it harder for other people that have what it takes to start up. Everything you do no matter who you are, reflects on the rest of us. Do it right, or don?t do it at all!




I hope this sheds just a little bit of light on what its like being a web host, or what its like in the grueling world of trying to catch up to the bigger web hosts that are multi million dollar companies.
