Web hosting in general is NOT a get-rich kind of business, no matter whether you are trying to resell on a shared hosting plan or launch a datacenter of your own. That is pretty much the biggest misconception young kids have when they decide to venture in this market on a 20 dollar budget during summer school holidays.
I really do not think the intent was to call all of the business a scheme, but rather had you noticed the person mentioned places that guarantee how to get rich by reselling. Remember at one time or another everyone here was new to this business, so having questions like this is common. Same goes for those in the business who are able to give good feedback rather than one liners to try and help a fella out.![]()
Well, don't beat yourself up about this. First of all, in the UK, a scheme is what in the US we'd call a plan. Second, it's not inaccurate to say that you can make money in hosting, just like you can make money in lots of businesses. It's the quick part that's unlikely. It takes work and time to build up a customer base. As a reseller, you do have the advantage of low startup expenses, with the flip side being limitation on what you can offer.Yeah thanks I appreciate thisBut it does make sense what the rest of the posters say. I did make the mistake of calling it scheme, but I guess it was too good to be true. Now I know.

I believe you get whatever you put into the business.
