Do you think if we spent $3,000 for server(s) that would we earn our money back? Is it enough of a growing business?

The web hosting business is a very tuff business to get into. It is probable the hardest one to get into. The start up costs and just the cost it takes to keep it going is really up there.

I would really think it depeneds on what features you offer, how good/bad your technical support is, how you treat customers etc.

Say you had been around the web hosting business for about a year and knew how to set everything up. Then how hard would it be?

There has been a post made here long time ago that some people gave their opinion on how hard it is. Ask Chad from dids.com and he can give you first hand experience.

Thanks
