What to do with left over resources?
Was not sure were to place this post so I will place it here.
After years of work on my site. I had decided to go with a VPS to host it. My site is free to the world and of course makes no money I am good with this. After seeing what resources are used for my site and future expansions? I had some left over resources. I then decided to use these left resources to sponsor sites. This is cool I like helping folks So I start sponsoring sites. Once again no income just simple text link back to my main site. I am looking at me server and decide to split up the remains left over sections into 2 different sections. I now have. 1st section= my site 2nd section= sponsored sites 3rd section=? The 3rd section is the one I am having problems with. What I have left over for section 3 is 5G of space and 300G transfer I figure I could split up the 3rd section into 15 sites with 300MB space and 10G transfer. I do not wish to become a host provider since the work involved is way too intense. I thought that I could offer no frills hosting which basically means no support. No fancy web hosting page. I do not wish to undercut the prices of real host. Sure you could ask me a question but chances are I would not know the answer. Of course network issues always get support. Really one would be paying for only a clean pipe. And a non overtaxed CPU. My question to all the professionals out there is: Is it even worth my time to sell these items? my eqaution would be: Min amount of income=Average amount of work If it is not worth my time any suggestions on what I can use section 3 for? I do have WHM/Cpanel Installed on the server. Thank you, |

it depends how much you would be wanting to sell this space for. ive seen providers with support etc go as low as 4 dollars a month (of course their most likely overselling)
personally i think if you dont have the time to work with providing support to a server for 3rd parties you shouldnt do it. sponsering websites for people that know what their doing isn't hard becasue they know what their doing, but if complete strangers who either a)want to exploit your services or b) have no idea what their doing will just casue trouble on your server in the long run and probally isn't worth it |

I have a similar situation with a VPS that only loses money. But as echoed above I don't want to open it up to external parties for many of the same reasons. Meanwhile I have a friend who needed hosting, so I let him at it, and recently I've begun to use close to my limit of resources ... over time you may find the same. If you've got no wiggle room, you may regret it in the future.

thank your replys. I had posted this same question on a couple other forums. and one one i just recived a bunch of offers to make reseller accounts and sell them below average cost.
I tend to agree what has been said here. So i will continue my sponsorship project. Which i think is very cool. And keep the 3rd section as reserve. thank you for your thoughts and inputs |
