Im thinking of starting my own webhosting company, what will be a sister to my exsisting website.

With the service, you will get

- Ensim Control Panel
- Unlimited Subdomains
- PHP, CGI, Perl, SSI
- phpMyAdmin
- FrontPage Server Extensions
- Web Based File Manager
- Backup your website at the click of a button
- SSH / development tools

With that, ive got

- 3.5GB of webspace to share between members
- 60GB of bandwidth per month to share between members
- Its limited to 450 members.

Thats going to cost me £24 per month.

Im not advertising allthough, if this does go ahead and you have an account with cellstreet you get a discount if I think you deserve it

Anyway, question is, how much do you think I should charge?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you have 3.5GB of space, between 450 users? Thats only around 8mb of space each.

450 users means the amount of members i can have and the amount of pop accounts etc...

So if Joe Bloggs buys a package from me with 100MB space and wants 20 email accounts aswell, thats 20 off the 450.

You should get a reseller account if you want to share really. Take a look at http://www.voxtreme.com or http://www.httpme.com
