Linda asks…
Any Free Web Hosting services?
I need a Free web hosting service provider, and a free domain manager(together would be better). I would like something completely free. If you don’ know of any, would you tell me the best, and cheapest provider.
admin answers:
I suggest you try Hostgator. It offers hosting services at $0.01 for the first month with a coupon code: FREEWEBSITEHOSTING
If you like to continue using their services, it also offers the cheapest and best hosting plans as mentioned at the following sites:

Mandy asks…
How to showcase my portfolio, sell web design services and hosting?
I´d like to put up a website to showcase my portfolio in design and programming, but I would also like to use the site to sell my skills and design and host web sites for customers. Does that make me a reseller? Is host reselling the option I should look for?
I would appreciate recommendations for which provider to sign up with, I need to publish sites using anything from Drupal to flat file html.
admin answers:
That depends.
Reseller account: Get this if your clients want access to their own control panel, have their own set of settings, and do this kind of stuff themselves.
Regular account: If your clients are mostly small business owners who aren’t technically inclined, you’ll probably be the one to do maintenance for them. In this case you won’t need a reseller account. A regular account would be better since it’s more affordable.
I recommend https://webspacehq.net/ — they offer both regular and reseller accounts. You get unlimited add-on domains, so even if you choose a regular account, you could add and configure your clients’ domains very easily for no extra charge.
Sandy asks…
Can someone tell me how to start a web hosting service from home?
Hi everyone.
I’m currently running the site https://raginghippie.com
we offer web hosting along with some other services.
Can someone tell me how to start a web hosting service from home? A full-fledged tutorial would be nice.
I’ve done my homework and searched for tutorials and guides on this subject, but all I can find is how to host a website at home, not a web hosting company.
Any answers to this would be highly appreciated.
admin answers:
The short answer is that you shouldn’t run web hosting out of your house. Even with significant upgrades to your setup, you likely will lack the infrastructure to adequately provide for any significant amount of website traffic. And if you are having to ask here how to set one up, then you almost certainly will not have the tools to properly maintain and support it.
A better bet is to become a reseller for an existing host, like GoDaddy — https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/wwd_landing.asp.You can make money, handle clients, and offer a lot more than you’d be able to putting it together yourself. And if there’s a technical issue, you have a resource to use instead of being on your own.
If you want something more hands-on, you can rent a server from a place like The Planet — https://www.theplanet.com/ — that provides you a server to host on with an admin system like Plesk that is more hands-on as far as setting up accounts and sites, but is pretty simple to use and ensures your hosted sites have proper bandwidth available, site backups, power redundancy and other features a proper web host should have.
