I always wanted to start a business, in the web hosting industry. I installed server 2003 on an old laptop I had, played with IIS and Active Directory.
I also played around with linux, and Apache. I'm more experienced on Apache, than IIS.
I want to manage customers, websites, and feel cool. I wanted a business like this since I was small.
I'm 17 now, a senior in high school. I want to do networking and security when I get older.
I would like to start a web hosting business. It would make me harder worker, and then money to look at and tell myself I did a good job.
I see web hosting companies all the time, not providing support all the time. :/ Once in a while, they log in to their support, then back out. I'd like to be the host that does provide support all the time. I sold Microsoft keys a while ago on eBay, and in two weeks - I managed to sell over 100 keys, and got $3,200. I haven't had one person say my support was bad. They all thanked me for helping them out right away, after buying the key.
So, anyhow, does anyone know where I can start to start my own business?
Should I buy a dedicated server, advertise, gain customers. Then when I get money, I can advertise more, buy a bigger server.
With more and more money, I can buy my own server and bandwidth and host at my house.
Does that how other businesses start? I have about $3000 I can use to start my business, but I would only like to spend $200 of it now because I need to look for a car.
