Frequently asked questions

Q. How much money would I need to invest to start my own web hosting business?

A. If you are on a budget you can start your own business for less than $900.00 total. This amount includes everything you will need to get started - including advertising. You can even do it for less if you are creative and substitute money with a little more hands-on work.

Q. Do I have to pay any fees to "Startawebhostbiz.com"?

A. No, the information provided on this website is completely free. We make some money from advertising and affiliate programs and also hope that you recommend us to your friends.

Q. Is this some sort of MLM scheme (Multi-Level Marketing)?

A. No, it is not. We are not selling actual products or services. We do not collect any fees from you. The information provided is free of charge and you are under no pressure to sell anything.

Q. But why do you do offer all this information free of charge?

A. As mentioned before - we make some money from advertising and from affiliate programs. We also recommend the purchase of a book we published. But that is completely optional for you to do. We provide information for free and if you decide to start your own web hosting business you can do this under your own terms.

Q. Do I need your book "Web Hosting Manual - How to start your own web hosting business" to be successful at all?

A. No, you do not need our book. But it might help you to kickstart your business a little bit. In general we just recommend to read information about starting a small business in general to avoid costly mistakes. Our book is industry specific, but a good book about marketing or accounting will help you, too.

Q. Can you recommend a good web host to get a reseller account?

A. Plenty of options are available. We recommend Hostgator Reseller Hosting for reseller accounts. They also have great shared web hosting accounts for multi-domain hosting.
