Why is it people will sit there and complain when they know they’ve done something wrong? Drama works in mysterious ways, and I really get sick of it. The fact of the matter is , if you’ve done something FESS UP TO IT, don’t blame anyone else. That’s like BLAMING a dog for your fart, only worse. Today’s post is about why the hell we DONT blame others!

I’m currently looking into starting a web hosting business – and the poll you see above clearly states a couple small things i’ve thought about myself. I personally look into all three; and it’s hard because pricing can let you down immensely. Doing the rounds, i’ve been with a couple different host providers over the years with projects i’ve done in the past – and it boils down to trust and the level of respect you can get.
As i said in a previous post i’m looking into HostGator and MochaHost – that being because HostGator services the Coastal Unity Parish website that i’ve worked on in the past; as well as the hide’s voice website. (Of course you’ll note, it also ran Oshare Curry and other websites i’ve had like FMC Radio.) The problem i run into with these two is the leverage of cost vs services rendered. Unlike cheaper hosts or crappier ones like GoDaddy, or ones that aren’t crappy but just not a mark above the rest like JustHost – HostGator and Mocha Host have the higher of the high ratings in areas that are the most important to me.
GoDaddy services websites on name servers that have porn and malware – and it’s REALLY not healthy for religious websites, or trusted social networks to be on their servers in my opinion. Maybe they have changed, their customer support isn’t the best – but it’s not the worst, and some of their software is easy to navigate. As inexpensive as they are or even expensive as they are – they’re not the worst company in the world – but i never had an easy time with the idea our websites got infected with malware and they just sat there idly and said it wasn’t their fault.
So in light of this – what could I do when I’m the one starting a hosting business to stop this from happening you ask? Well, it’s the internet – I can only tell you tips on how to get these things sorted, and if the main company i purchase my hosting from has ideas or even software to scan or prevent this from happening then i’d do all i could! I do know that when this happens, as in when i startup the business I will not be alone. I have a friend whom i dearly trust who knows more about internet services than I do – willing to get into it.
Oh and yes I DO realize i may never be rich off of this – but that’s not why I’m possibly getting into this sort of project. Jobs are scarce in Dunedin, and I’m having a really hard time connecting into a job that will fit between my studies. Web Hosting like this will provide me with a boost while i am looking for a job and if i get a job – it’ll mean i can put more money into it to boost it. There are major risks involved – I’m only on student income, and with no job i could literally go broke.
We’re looking into ShoutCast and IRC server reselling so that way we give customers the edge that they’re looking for. We won’t be a major corporation; we’ll be the niche that your average small business or even single customer is looking for. Someone with a name to be accountable for.
Yet here’s an issue – we don’t even have a name for our company yet!

I saw this shirt on a kid at the holiday programme we run here in dunedin – that said “GREAT IDEAS ALWAYS GET ME INTO TROUBLE!” frankly, i totally agree. These great ideas, wonderful money making ideas always get me into trouble! The most recent one troubles me because it literally could be a good idea or a bad idea depending on how i work it.
I’ve been trolling around hosting forums the past few days wondering if I should get into reseller hosting. This sort of idea intruiged me to the highest degree – why? Because if you find the company you like ? There’s always room to grow! Also, mainly the idea that it’s becoming harder to find a job in the city that I live in. So what’s the shame if I take a bit of my summer money out and try going out on a limb and starting a hosting business?

This is going to be an interesting one of those posts where you go “This and this ” – Well the best customer service by far has to be Orcon they’re the ISP my family is on. Though i wish they’d change their servicing hours – that by far is the most annoying thing ever.
The worst? Two places.
Vodafone and Belkin.
….oh and JustHost 😛
There’s no saying how much hate i have for places that just script everything and freak out.
Vodafone is called B LOW DA FONE for a reason – they’re over expensive in New Zealand and Australia and between them and Telecom make up the monopoly of mobile services and internet telephone services.
Since broadband came out we switched to Orcon, upgraded to their genius services and are on some freaking awesome broadband for New Zealand standards.
Just my two cents 🙂

Question to the public: Do we as kindle digital authors have right to skip going to the counsellor, and speak about our past?
My answer: Maybe we do, and as well written as this book is – the only reason i won’t finish it, is it’s over graphic about a past that shouldn’t necessarily be hidden, but taken care of.
Why? …. Well, when the book’s about ass and face towels – all i can think of is a toilet bowl, and some major triggering images lol.
But don’t let my review GET YOU, if you like non fiction and can handle graphic imagery TRY the book, it’s worth the 99 cents to buy it.
