Imagine paying around $60 per month for a server plan. If you put eight websites on it and charge those clients $20 every month for hosting, you’ve now got a revenue stream worth $100 each month.

This venture can be lucrative, one filled with trials, tribulations and nice rewards. We’re talking about a rewarding experience filled with the satisfaction of hosting either a niche group of clients or a broad range of clientele.

As your own hosting provider, you can diversify your set of offerings, things like different hosting tiers at varying costs, storage options, and more. In providing a hosting service, you can generate monthly residual income for years to come by offering hosting fees.

You can also up-sell and cross-sell products, like website security and SSL certificates. With SSL, you can provide either a paid SSL, go the free route or, if you prefer to know things are running smoothly, opt for a managed SSL service.

Most people, especially those just starting out, go the VPS route. The reasoning behind this is that you not only get the benefits of lower cost — as dedicated servers are more expensive than VPS — but you also get the benefits of backups and free Installatron.

It is a bit of work. But that work can really pay off in the end. Server management is like any other type of management: one-part hard work, one-part organization, and one-part customer service. Put that all together and you’ve got a real job ahead of you.

Ultimately, it is up to you to nurture your client base. But, as it sometimes happens, you will inevitably run into a client that wants to go elsewhere.

With the unfamiliar comes fear. But you can do this. After all, there is nothing to fear but fear itself. Once you get rolling, you’ll be glad you began this adventure and will soon reap the benefits therein.
