starting up a company
 

Hey guys I?m officially opening up a web hosting company in mid September that runs on a 15,000mb connection. The website is currently being made so that is unavailable at the moment, but if you?re interested or know someone that is please e-mail me at [email protected]


Basic Plan: 150 megabytes of space, 4 gigabytes of bandwidth per month, domain name, unknown sub-domain names, 50 e-mail accounts, unlimited ftp accounts, plesk control panel MySQL, PHP, Perl, etc. all for $9.95/ month

Executive Plan: 1.6 gigabytes of space, 7 gigabytes of bandwidth per month, domain name, unlimited sub-domain names, unlimited e-mail accounts, unlimited ftp accounts, plesk control panel, MySQL, PHP, Perl, etc. all for $14.75/ month (special if you buy in the month of september we will give you 2 gb space, and 10 gb bandwidth per month)

Elite Plan: 6 gigabytes of space, 20 gigabytes of bandwidth per month, domain name, unlimited sub-domain names, unlimited e-mail accounts, unlimited ftp accounts, plesk control panel, MySQL, PHP, Perl, etc. all for $19.99/ month (Recommended) includes shell access and cron jobs

This includes great tech support we will have a 24/7 chat tech support online and we will have phone support. Our tech support is great at getting to users in a short amount of time.

Tell me what you think...

Honestly, with those prices, you'll make it hard trying to capture potential customers. I know it's business ethics to not oversell and so on, but if you want to survive in the belligerent hosting industry-- You have to appeal to the customer.

Good luck on this endeavor.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Your prices sucks man ...

welcome and :321GFY

Lol, I get 1000 GB dedicated box for the same price that I would get 70 GB at your hosting.
I also offer hosting to others and it's not difficult to set some good prices without overselling. In the worst of the cases you will pay $0.15 per GB, so sell it to $0.45 or something like, but not per $1.75, this is insane.

you almost have the same structure price as flying crocodile ;)

Ask them how much ppl left the building to

and price were from 1997-98

i was hosted at flying croc a few years ago. not sure what they're smoking with their prices. i can't see anyone hosting with them period.

Omg another cheap ass reseller hosting company by an aol user that claims lots of things :1orglaugh

How am I suppose to get any profit if I make the prices $4/month etc... Any suggestions? Does anyone have any advice for how to improve my pricing packages besides just making the prices extremly cheap? Because all of the extremly cheap hosting that I have ever purchased the tech support takes forever to get in contact with. With this company I am trying to change that and give affordable prices with great tech support.

Forget about the adult market, and go after non adult only.. much more money to be made there, and not as hard to sell higher priced hosting. Trust me, you will NOT make it in the adult market unless you have about $250,000 upfront to bring up your own network.

What forums should I post in ? Any suggestions on a free way to spread the word of my new company?

15,000mb connection :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

[email protected] <------------ says it all :warning :warning :warning

120 gigabytes of bandwidth per month is your Behemoth Plan?

If you can offer an additional special service ... lets say TGP hosting including scripts, DRM services, streaming services or similar, you may have a chance. If you can not offer any additional stuff at that price, you are fucked up in the adult biz for sure

Asking for advice on a board called "go fuck yourself" will only ensure success in you new venture! Good job newbie...

You beat me to it.

most adult WMs need way more than that. Id say 200 GB +

Try any specified on web hosting forums, probably you find something there!

The Behemoth Plan should be more like 12,000 gigabytes a month

Wow, 15,000 mb connection. Hell of a deal :1orglaugh

I'm running badasscompany.com - :Graucho :Graucho

I think that if you're using an AOL email address, you're not qualified to even be using a computer.

How about
Extra Services
Ecommerce Scripts (Free)
Assistance in installing scripts
Web Design
Access to all of the numbers that aren't on the do not call list

Also about the aol e-mail account. I'm only paying $5/month for it .

Also we will setup up drm and tgp for those that specifically request it.

Do you even know what these things are or are you just saying this?

I know what they are and I'm also setting it up so that you have the ease of instantly installing things such as a chat, a feedback forum , a news submission script. I also will supply agora cart.

you will set up TGP if we request it? :1orglaugh
try selling your hosting to local companies who are clueless to the term "gigabyte"

save your money and give up now

The fact that you are paying for an AOL account makes it even worse.
