Web Hosting Question And Answer
How much profitable is web hosting business?
I am planning to start web hosting business.
Already who are in the business please guide me.
What is the potential and margins in the business?
Answers
Not much. There are innumerable people in this field.
Profit margin is much less.
It all depends on your client acquisition strategy. Resources can be acquired for cheap these days but marketing costs have rocketed. Hosting costs to end users are coming down continuously whereas online marketing costs are getting higher and higher. And with the advent of video-hosting (which is the future of the web) and apps hosting, cloud hosting will be the trend ...I feel. But many companies like godaddy and amazon are earning a lot of money, why can't you better them!
Business through internet is increasing day by day. Most of the companies even SMEs, home-based professionals are also coming in virtual world. They certainly need website, register it with some web hosting company so that it can be run.

I suggest you this website http://www.tenhostingreviews.com where you can find a list of the Top 10 Web hosting companies with the best features, support and pricing.
A good idea is to start with some great offers. There are so many web hosting sites out there is pretty hard to make people choose yours. For example, I had to design a webpage and find a host for my previous work place. All hosting sites seemed to offer the same thing, untill I found this one http://www.hostingcouponoffer.com
Pretty good support, and the prices are good. That's what YOU also need. everybody can offer web hosting, but few can offer PREMIUM HOSTING!
