    nor in a few weeks....

    many companies make it look easy but it really is a lot of hard work..lots of hard planning, lots of long nights...lots of everything to deal with....

    heh and the more you grow the faster they add up! It's a business like many others and the owners tend to work extremely long hours with the added flavor of it being a 24/7/365 industry. It took about a year for us to begin seeing a steady flow.

    Many begin hosting without any "real business" experience or planning. Oddly enough many forget it is a real business. The more you treat it like a real business the better off you'll be in the end. Visiting the local Chamber of Commerce or places such as www.score.org will provide you free classes and ideas for some of the 'real business' areas you'll want to make yourself aware of.

    Well, it took me almost an entire week. I grew so tired of waiting and nearly gave up.

    Your question really doesn't help you much.

    Look at the recent fiasco, they apparently were signing up well over 1000 domains a month it seems, and grew themselves into nothingness.

    What's important is overall in vs overall out and the length of time required to make your in comfortably larger than your out

    That's for sure. After 12mths of building your business [full time or part-time], you should be able to make an "income", after your costs etc. Getting your business off the ground is the hardest part. Once you've got momentum, it's just a matter of keeping up with new servers and systems that track clients etc..

    Aint that the truth. The trick here is to keep your expenses a certian % of your total revenues. This is not always easy as there may be times when you need to increase your expenditure to cover one off investments. Here's the golden rule of business - never spend more than you make. CASHFLOW IS KING!!

    around 15-20 signups a day


    if you can get 30 signups a day, you can be a millionaire in 1 year or 1.5 years.

    lol. Hardly.

    Care to enlighten us on your figures? Remember, we're talking being a "millionaire" with money in the bank, real assets - not some blue sky [crap ] valuation of your business.

    lotsa people (esp newbies) seem to think never spend more than you think you can make....then they overspend in the first 2 weeks of service and dont have enough money left for anything else

    I'm going to be serious here for just one second. If you are comparing yourself to other hosts to determine the relative good/bad of your own operation, you're focusing too much on other peoples' business and not enough on your own. One of our reseller is a web designer who also does hosting. I'm not sure comparing his signups per day with our signups per day would indicate anything good or bad about his business if he's satisfied with the growth of his business.

    Well, as long as that first customer keeps paying their bill...

    It also depends alot on the profit margin you make as well, you can get 50 signups a day on a $5 account or 25 on a $10 one, make more money, provide better service, and do less work... make sure you have a good balance with the pricing of your packages.
