    Growing your site.

    Even though we can post links on sites that allow it such as classifieds and even other web sites we have, I'm finding that paid advertising is more effective and can grow your site faster. I try to use the best keywords for the sites I build. I'm realizing that the web hosting business takes a...

    Is Windows more stable than Linux?

    I have both Linux and Windows servers. However I don't run my windows server on the internet, only on my LAN. In my experience Linux is far more stable and needs rebooting far less. Remote access to Linux is far better in my opinion also.

    Colocation, Dedicated or VPS?

    This is how I am starting out. I needed to hear from other professionals just to be sure I am doing things right. I appreciate all of the replies in this thread, they are all valuable and I appreciate each person who has taken time to respond.

    Colocation, Dedicated or VPS?

    I'm wondering what is the most cost effective solution for a server. Colocation, Dedicated or VPS? I'm thinking that VPS may be a good way to begin and then later go to either colocation or dedicated with a huge hard drive in the machine. Since you are paying for a slot in a data center with...

    WHMCS Expensive

    I think you can draw more customers with WHMCS. So because of that your business will be more successful I think. I had tried free billing systems in the past, but when I changed to WHMCS my customers were happier.

    Hope Billing

    I haven't used Hope Billing yet. Does anyone know if it is good or not? I have changed many aspects of my web hosting service and am working on using different billing software than I have in the past.

    Big Companies Can No Longer Compete With Me

    MOD NOTE: Due to promotional nature of the original post by @webling, which is against the rules of this community, I am re-writing it to deliver the main essence of it in order to keep the discussion alive. In his post, webling mentioned that he has come up with a fresh business model that is...

    I have a new perspective and business model

    Many web hosting companies charge you a low introductory amount when you are starting off and then gouge you later. We have a different perspective. We charge you a low introductory amount to get you going, and let you gouge us later! Your costs will actually go down! I was on the phone with...

    PTR Records in Plesk

    Even though cPanel had a lot of good things, it was accessed through two different sites. With Plesk it's just one site so as I am moving around in there I'm feeling more confident now. When I set up PTR records in WHM it was a bit tricky, but in Plesk I didn't have to add the in-addr.arpa with...

    I nailed it!

    I posted a short while back since I fired cPanel that I was working on web hosting so extreme that I could host professional sites for only 9.95 ( Not per month PER YEAR...HELLO?. I have the server in place now to do it, the new site up. The next issue is getting the billing software in place...

    Serious problems with Plesk, moving to CWP

    Since moving to Plesk I have encountered countless problems. I have another server that had no control panel on it so I installed CWP (CentOS Web Panel). The installation went flawlessly and it is compatible with cPanel. It looks like it does everything I need and I transferred one domain to it...

    Has anyone used Box Billing? I'm trying to set up the free version but the installer isn't working on the page where I add the MySQL info.

    Plesk has improved drastically

    I think it must be 8 or 9 years since I have used Plesk and it was quite lacking so moving to cPanel at that time was a good thing. But going back to Plesk now I see they have improved a LOT. I don't feel like I am missing anything any more. One thing I liked back then is when I created...

    The move to Plesk

    I've had my head stuck inside a Linux server most of the day making sure my techs go everything transfered correctly. They're great people but still human. :) I had to laugh when I went to the subdomain where my WHMCS is supposed to be but the page came up white. So asked them why this turned...
