Web Hosting

[LooeyUK]

Im thinking of starting my own webhosting company, what will be a sister to my exsisting website.

With the service, you will get

- Ensim Control Panel
- Unlimited Subdomains
- PHP, CGI, Perl, SSI
- phpMyAdmin
- FrontPage Server Extensions
- Web Based File Manager
- Backup your website at the click of a button
- SSH / development tools

With that, ive got

- 3.5GB of webspace to share between members
- 60GB of bandwidth per month to share between members
- Its limited to 450 members.

Thats going to cost me £24 per month.

Im not advertising allthough, if this does go ahead and you have an account with cellstreet you get a discount if I think you deserve it

Anyway, question is, how much do you think I should charge?

I recommend http://www.webhostingtalk.com if you want to get some good help on this.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you have 3.5GB of space, between 450 users? Thats only around 8mb of space each.

[LooeyUK]

450 users means the amount of members i can have and the amount of pop accounts etc...

So if Joe Bloggs buys a package from me with 100MB space and wants 20 email accounts aswell, thats 20 off the 450.

I get ya.

If you want some comparisons I currently pay £7.05pm for the following...

Free domain any TLD
100MB web space
2GB data transfer/m
20 pop3 accounts
E-mail control panel
Web mail
Deepmetrix Livestats
ASP version 3.0
ASP.NET version 1.1
Access databases
ASP components
24/7 FTP access
Access to visitor logs
Dreamweaver MX / UD
Fast e-mail support
Free account setup
Telephone support
SSL via shared cert

You should get a reseller account if you want to share really. Take a look at http://www.voxtreme.com or http://www.httpme.com
