How To Make A Host

[ignitionhost]

I bet lots of you are wondering - how do you make a website host.
Well it's pretty hard.. this guide will hopefully
help you...
Before you start make sure you ...

• Make sure you're an advanced web designer
• If your not, then make sure you hire one
• Don't hire just one - also hire others - but have a main one
• Have a name, see if it's not taken - BUY IT
• Learn how to use Cpanel + Whm ( Web host manager )
• Get an effective - PROFESSIONAL layout, get a custom, or download one of a site
• Make sure your capable of coding the layout

Now to buy a reseller, here are a few sites i recomend...

• http://www.ehostpros.com/reseller/reseller.html
• http://www.challengehost.com/website...r-hosting.html
• http://www.brainpulse.com/web_hostin...eb_hosting.php
• http://vip-hosting.com/reseller/

Okay - Chosen a reseller? Don't buy it yet...

Now you got to buy a domain...

Here are a few sites i recomend...

• http://www.unlimitedplans.com
• http://www.123reg.com/
• http://www.alldomains.com/
• http://www.ukreg.com/
• http://www.uk-cheapest.co.uk/domain.php?ref=goo-crn-d

Okay now, once you've bought all that, you need to get your nameservers sorted out, once you recieve the adress from the host, log into the domain site, and change nameservers, this should take anything between 24-48 hours, some sites to this for you - but most don't.

Okay, now you have to finish the layout (if it wasn't done before hand - which it should), upload it into cpanel, and get all the pages working.

Congratualtions ! - You've just made your first hosting website - Feel proud.

A few tips of maintaining a good site...

• Keep it up to date, have a certin time every week/day that you update the content
• Keep your staff well treated, award them if they're working for free - maybe free hosting package.
• Offer friends free hosting packages in return for him/her to affiliate to you
• Get a livehelp services, trouble ticket script. Make it work !
• And remember THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT !
• Also, have a "MSN" address, for easyer livehelp. This helps alot

And there you have it.
Hope it's helped.

Lol, not alot of people would, it takes time, perseverance and alot of extreame hard work, keeping your customers happy, online support, content updating.
But some people obviously do.

You are mad, no one would pay $15/£10 for only 100MB of disk space..
This thread is totaly pathetic if you ask me...
Or even if you don't ask me, still pathetic...
www.impulse-host.net would be one place...

[splintercell!]

Yes you need to offer more I can get 100mb for free "/ and I pay £12 for 1gb
