offshore web hosting?

[archlyric]

was just curious about selling offshore hosting that allows warez, torrents, etc. and how much profits you earn vs traditional hosting? my guess would be you would get clients quicker with offshore, and since its offshore you can raise the price a little more...

Offshore servers cost more than US based servers, this is why price is a bit more high in offshore location.

We earn more money from traditional hosting than offshore.

All depend of your marketing strategy, solid servers, savvy tech and you are on the road.

Not really, our offshore hosting is cheaper then many onshore hosts.

PM me if you want more help or a cheap reseller package!

i heard offshore is harder to run since you host mostly kids which means lots of ddos and hacking attacks.

+1 Exactly what I was going to reply =)

So...traditional hosting wins vs offshore hosting?

 

[DJ Norix]

It depends on how good you are at getting clients ... and as said above ... offshore and allowing illegal shit means higher chances to get in the middle of a bitchfight between hacking kiddies

and for example, I have an offshore dedicated server. What is my fault someone's script has been hacked?

I'm not saying I don't like the idea of offshore hosting, but in the last few months there were like 20 new hosts(including mine xD). I tried, I said and I will say again. Having own hosting doesn't worth unless you have other sources of money. Here's the math

Quality server = more than 100 USD p/m
cPanel license = 30-40 USD p/m
WHMCS = 15 USD p/m
LiteSpeed(most of you have/want that) = ~30 USD

-----------------------------------------------------
So, spending more than 150 USD and no other sources of money, no thanks(That's my opinion). If you done it right you may get sucess(Like SolidNode). So better make quality onshore hosting than offshore
