Did you say it is not possible or true to become a landlord on the net? Well, doubting Thomas, wait and hear me out first. Have you visited a website before? Sure you should have. You must have at least been to www.yahoo.com or www.infinityinfotainment.blogspot.com. For those websites to be available on the World Wide Web, it’s because of their being hosted on a web server. A web server can be described as a space online where a website is hosted. In other words, a web host is a server that provides a home for your website on the web. Just as your computer contain all files, so a host contains all the files needed to run your website. Shikena!
Now you can become a landlord or landlady as the case may be online by owning a server, which you rent to others, of course, for a fee, to host their websites. Then you sit back and be collecting your monthly rent from your tenants – that is those whose websites are hosted on your server. Web hosting is one lucrative business that anyone, that includes you, can venture into. However, according to my friend David Ugoagbara (by the way, David is an expert when it comes to web hosting). Before venturing into web hosting you must, first and foremost, take some time to acquire the technical knowhow that is required to run the business effectively.
Please, listen good. I am not an expert in this area of online business, so I asked David to bail me out. That means that I will be taking the lecture with him. That said, lets hurry over to the class where David is waiting to deliver…
Everyday thousands of websites are being added to the world wide web. Already there are hundreds of millions of websites, and millions more added each year. And guess what? Every one of those websites has to have a host! If they didn’t, nobody would be able to see them.
If you want a website for instance, the designing is done on a computer probably with a web designer software. You do not need to be connected to the internet when designing your site. When you are done the site will be there, on your computer. Only you and those who have access to your computer can view it. To make it available on the web, so that every other person from anywhere in the world will be able to view the site; you will need two things.
One, a web address- that is the domain in the internet market parlance. Every website on the net have it own web address. www.jkconsulting-ng.com is an example of a web address.
The second thing you need is a web host. A web host, as I have said, is the service that makes the website available on the internet. This service is made available by web hosting service providers on the internet. The owner of a website hosted on a particular web host must be paying, monthly or yearly, certain amount of money to the web hosting service provider. Else the site will be deleted from the server. It just as one must pay his house rent or shop rent yearly or monthly to his or her landlord or landlady. And if he fails to do that he will get kicked out of the house or shop.
Now, how would you feel if you were to be a landlord /lady on the net? Sounds good, doesn’t it? If you are to consider the fact that a greater percentage of business, schools, NGOs, politicians and even churches in Nigeria are yet to have websites and will definitely need one very soon, then you will realize how lucrative this business is. Imagine being paid N5,000 or more monthly by your tenants (people whose websites are hosted on your server). Mind you, you could have hundreds, even thousands of sites on your server and the all pay you N5,000 each month. That is good money, isn’t it?
As you can imagine, the web hosting business is a hugely profitable and rapidly growing industry, they are already thousands of web hosts; but don’t think for a moment that there are already too many – at least not in this part of the world.
There are literally so many websites being added to the web each day that if you can capture just a fraction of the market you are sure of smiling all the way to the bank at the end of every month.
Let me guess. At this juncture you must be spoiling for action. You are already dreaming of starting your own web hosting business and start raking in money at month ends. But wait. Before you even start fantasizing of a life of leisure, spending money you have earned off your hosting venture, here is a reality check. Not only is running a web hosting business technical, starting one is even quiet a challenge.
And it is not an easy business to run. It takes a lot of patience, computer and technical knowledge to start and run a successful and solid web hosting business, keep this thing in mind, don’t jump in the water without learning to swim in the baby pool first.
The best method to start in the hosting business industry and not having to worry about heavy costs would be to start with reseller hosting. The term reseller hosting is basically where you purchased bulk amount of server capacity from a major web hosting service provider, which you can split and sell to your own customers under your own brand. For example, let’s assume that you bought 5 gigabits of storage space and 50 gigabits from a web hosting company like hostgator.com, with that plan, you can offer packages such as 500 megabits storage space and 5 gigabits bandwidths, and you will be able to offer at least 10 of those for sale. Don’t worry if you do not understand what all this “giga: and “bit” really means. You will understand all these fully in the e-book David and I have decided to give to you free of charge. To get yours, send your e-mail address to nseng78@yahoo.com or victornse@hotmail.com.
