Now, before you start potentially getting ready to lash a potential competitor, i was just wondering how difficult running a hosting company actually is? Don't get me wrong - i'm not expecting it to be the equivalent of "welcome, here's a server, now fuck off", but i'm just wondering if any of you could maybe post your experiences or stories of how you got started out and how much work is involved in keeping clients happy.
