Comment on Ask HN: Starting my own hosting company, any advice?

Comments

Do you have any experience in the marketing end of the business? I might suggest signing up as an affiliate of one of the big ones, or whitelabeling, and then trying your hand at that prior to sinking hip-deep into a capital intensive industry.

The reason: hosting is saturated and the marketing is cut-throat. Most of the companies are highly dependent on affiliates, and the type of affiliates who operate in hosting are often about one level more scrupulous individuals than the ones in PPC. (It means Porn, Pills, Casino in this context.)
