What is needed to offer web hosting?

[Jen]

I was thinking about possibly offering web hosting but Im not sure what all I need to do in order to get started. Like offer databases, CPanel, etc....I see alot of indivdual people offer hosting and I have a TON of space that doesn't get used here...

Just curious.

Thanks

From what I understand, cPanel is the way to go, at least on a small to medium scale.

My advice to you is: don't.

if you have to ask this question, you aren't ready

I was just wondering, it's not a sure thing. Didn't know what all is involved and I'm not about to pay for a CPanel license...lol

cpanel licence is about $25 per month.

If you have to ask, don't do it.

Seriously, being a webhost is no small task.

The web hosting is so saturated, don't even bother unless you know you can compete with everyone and blow them out of the water.

Patience, and lots of it.

Something to alleviate the mounds of stress from customers might help too. ;)

I ended my Web Hosting adventure last year. There's more money in publishing/advertising.
