how much does it cost to run a webhost?

QpaQue is paying over $200/mo I think. For the server and things.

Well, you could get a small reseller account with 1Gb space and 10Gb w/b with for less that £5 a month, and a domain from about £2 a year...

Then you need the lisence for cPanel (that usually comes with the reseller tho, free)

Than you promote it andf make profit, you then upgrade as needed

Indeed. Thats what you did, isn't it Craig?

Thats also what QpaQue does. He upgrades as needed, or so he tells me on AIM. Good lucky finding a few customers, if your starting one.

Wow, I would love to run a webhost that cheap. I heard they have free reseller's sites... I wonder where... got to check them out!

200$/mo does not sound too expensive?. But how did you make it profitable.
- With banners in your hosted sites.
- With a trap17 kind of of solution.
- Running a web design firma and hosting yourself your client designs.

I think the most profitable is the trap solution but also the one which requires more work.
Do you know any other posibility?

12 year old that is soo sweet!!
Anyways EVEN if you are going to use $200... you are using it to advances right?? And you can get it back plus more profit.. if you giving out hosting etc...so it is all worth it, but if your giving out ONLY free hosting i dont know.. but some peopel get sponsored by companies and don't have to pay anything etc.

I have thought of starting a webdesign company, something small.. You guys reccomend buying the reseller package and hosting them myself, or using another host. Also, What would be the cheapest route to go? I know I can buy a domain for 9 bucks but I really dont want to spend too much money until I know I can get some clients.
