Step 1
Explore all the characteristics of each of the suitable hosting panels. After that, proceed to the simplest step - getting a server with a pre-installed panel. However, the task itself is not so simple. On the contrary, this stage is the most crucial. Thanks to the competent choice of the server and the site for it, you can understand that when creating a hosting, control panels have their limitations.
Step 2
Decide how much time you are willing to spend on hosting. Clients will come in day after day and demand support 24 hours a day and throughout the week, by ICQ, phones and mail. Are you ready to stay awake replacing managers and support services? The organization of support is a very important key aspect for the start of the entire hosting, since it is not just a place on the server, but also an information service. And of course, ask yourself if you can provide all the support you need to your customers.
Step 3
Consider how well you know software and hardware. It is very important to have a good understanding of the software used to organize hosting for client sites. For example, the IIS webserver in MS Windows requires not only installation, but also correct configuration, which can be learned from books on working with Windows and with IIS. You should also be aware of the vulnerabilities, system capabilities and always make sure that the latest updates are installed.
Step 4
Make sure you have the initial capital to develop your hosting. Many different things will require serious financial investments already at the initial stage of hosting.
Step 5
Decide whether to hire employees early in the business or keep hosting alone. Being alone is a good option from a financial point of view, but it takes a significant amount of time. But the presence of employees will help to quickly solve both organizational and technical problems.
