I've just started offering hosting a few months ago, and only to my current programming clients. I've targeted my programming business to help designers who need to add bells and whistles to their static sites, so--belive it or not--some of them aren't tech-savy. My biggest headache so far has been helping them to understand their wmh control panel and get their hosting customers set up correctly.

I'm wrestling with the issue of marketing to the world-at-large. Like d.clint says, there are thousands of hosting companies, many of which seem to offer commodity pricing. It's hard to know if you're competing against a strong company or someone looking to attract a lot of signups only to be gone six months from now.

Yes I agree with you.
Marketing is not a easy task and its not a one day job it requires high patience as there are thousands of hosting companies with number of kiddie host. Its very difficult to select a reliable host so unfortunately host are offering 30 day money back offer or free trial accounts.

yeah i imagine it would be. Marketing must not be easy either as there's 1000s of hosts out there.

Support is the killer. To have good support and put up with the customers is hard lol
