What skills are required to operate a web hosting company ?

Question: I want to buy a web hosting business that already has customers , but I’m not sure what skills and knowledge are needed .
I own several websites and know basic knowledge about uploading a website , URL’s , and know that the server space has to be leased and resold to customers according to their bandwidth and size of site .

However, Do I need to know Unix , Linux , or Perl or other programming languages ? If so , can this be out sourced reasonably ?


Answer: Based on your business hosting question, here is our suggestion. If you are looking for a business hosting or even the best domain host, your best option is to go with Hostgator. Well, they are not totally free – you have to pay $0.01 (by entering the coupon code below at checkout). This coupon code is usable for any shared hosting and even the $24.95 Aluminum reseller hosting. We suggest you do not waste your time with any other unreliable business hosting.




If you are not only looking for a business hosting, but also a good cheap hosting, we suggest you try MyHosting. It is hard to find any negative MyHosting review so we believe they are the best because they give unlimited bandwidth, unlimited storage, unlimited addon domains, Site builder and much more for such a low monthly price. You can get MyHosting for only $4.84/month.

    system admininstration/php/mysql knowledge/network security/network monitoring. If you do not know any of these you may want to hire a web developer for a month or two. Check websites like http://definitivelab.com/
