Not really. the margin is fairly good since we keep our costs low. Most of the time we purchase the servers at a wholesale rate from other hosting companies that purchased more than they can sell. And we have better than great pricing on our bandwidth.

The business isn't really all that hard to be in if you do it right. Keep your customer's happy, they take more services with you, and increase their billing. To date I don't have 1 unhappy customer, and still have my very first customer I ever got.

Thanks,

P.S. I still have these servers up for grabs so let me know if any one is interested.
