So it is kinda simple?? and easy?? Put it like this, would it be too hard for me to run while I am back in school this year??

It just depends on how many people you have and how in depth you get. I wouldn't be surprised if Cat's does this for a living, as in depth and full on as they (him/her...don't remember) seem to be in this. You probably shouldn't have much trouble with it, but you'll have to put time into your customers when they need help.

Ok, I just need to talk with my friend to see if we are going to do this, if not, I guess it's just me.

I was going to do something similar with my aunt, but our whole business idea kind of went down the toilet as she decided she wanted to learn a bunch of web design stuff that she never actually tried to take any classes to learn, despite the fact she said she was going to.

Hey is that me?

Anyway, think small at first. I recommend getting the OC10 - you can be very competitive then. Also depends how much many you want to make out of this - if you start out cheap you will get many many customers but slow return at first, expensive you will get less customers but higher original return.

I think it's been pretty easy to run this 'business'. I mainly started this to get my own hosting paid for and the tax write offs. :-D

I only a handful of people and I know all of them.

Thanks for your advice CC.

I am trying to get small businesses around here to have me build and host websites for them. But no luck so far .

The main purpose for me to do this is to make some extra money, and to get experience with web hosting and other things in this area of technology. I am even planning on setting up a new router and a new network switch and setup my old PC as a dedicated server, (I am not going to host any sites off of it, just for testing).
