Starting a hosting company

[Tuberload]

remember, business only takes place when both parties benefit.

Like I said, imo you will only benefit for a short period of time screwing people over. Nothing I said sounds like the business would not benefit.

[quasi-modo]

thats why you make them sign a contract, so you can screw them forever

Lol, thats funny because I don't think ANYONE would sign a contact over the internet. I bet the hosting company wouldn't last long, it'd loose too many customers.

There is no secret to success, it is well known.  It is the number one thing the buyers complain about --- that they simply cannot find someone competent and reliable to help them!  They are willing to pay, but the competent reliable help continues to elude them.

Ask Thing, or myself.  We are successful because when someone needs help, they know who to ask, and we always deliver.  Some customers want to go low ball.  They eventually come back to us when the other guy FUBARs it.

Exactelly what I meant by saying quality of service is more important than price.

But you have to know that inorder for the customers to come to your door step, you need the price. They can only experience the quality of the services if they purchase it.

Price is EXTREMELY important.  If you go in charging less than your services are worth, and the customer knows the business, you will NOT get the contract.

If company A, B and C come in and does a presentation saying they will provide 1-2-3 for around $250,000, and company D comes in and says they can do it for $87,000, most people will throw company D out on their butts.  Clearly, goes the thinking, company D either did not listen, did not understand, or does not have a clue how to do the job.

So if you don't know what the industry rate is, and you low ball, you get screwed even if you are the most competent to do the job.  Of course, that's unlikely or you would know the going rates.
