Do you run this 'on the side' or is it something you do full time?

[Messa]

It's something i do 'on the side' but support tickets are answered within around 10 mins, when im not at work as an IT Technician, i do Website Hosting for the rest

 

Bit more background:

 

I Started in late 2007 providing web hosting to just a few people i knew, on a reseller account. 3 months ago i got my own Dell R200 Server and got it in a Datacentre (Telehouse Metro) in london.

 

It is something i'm looking to do full time once i get enough custom.

 

If you want to know anything else... fire away

Id just like to add that Craig has done a great job for me, over the last 3 months he has been hosting the EduMoodle Theme for me completly free of charge.

 

Craig has actually occasionally dropped me an email to see if everything is ok, added databases when i've been looking a bit short and even reset the bandwidth limits for me.

 

In 3 months the EduMoodle Theme has been downloaded 2250 times and the site has been visited by over 5000 users from around the world.

 

Its a great offer but knowing the kind of high quality service Craig offers its an amazing deal, especially as this is done "on the side".

 

Thanks

[Messa]

Thanks Dan, glad to see your happy with your service.

 

[EduTech]

In the next few weeks i will be looking to take out a few hosting plans, basically a company i do some work for on the side, designs websites for other companies (Sites that run cubecart, E-cart and the like) so when i take over this buissness i would require a stable host, that dont cost much. so will be in touch soon.

 

James.

[Messa]

Yeah, no worries.

 

If your looking to host a few and want to keep them together maybe a reseller plan would be the best route to go? i could of course sort you a deal on this.

 

Just drop me a PM or use our contact for on our website VeloxServ

 

Cheers

Thanks will do

[Antp]

Thanks Craig,

So you got any rules?

[Messa]

When checking out you must agree to have read our terms and conditions, you can host almost anything on there as long as it doesnt eat our CPU and RAM.

 

Malicious PHP Scripts etc aren't allowed... Just take a read of our terms and conditions and that should answer all of your questions, if anyone needs to know anything else let me know.

 

Regards...

[Edu-IT]

The new website looks great!

[Messa]

Cheers, i did make a post about it... think it got deleted because the admins may have thought i was advertising cheaply?

Just a little reminder, you need a postal address & contact telephone number on your site as per the distance selling regulations - it's a legal requirement.

What happens if your server goes down while you are at work in your IT Tech role? Or 3am on a Sunday morning?

 

Good luck,

Sorry I was talking to Messa.

[Messa]

My Bad

 

Ok, if the server is down due to a network or hardware issue, i contact the people who i co-locate with, they will do all the fault finding.

If the problem is directly related to a hardware fault i have a 3yr next Business Day with Dell Warranty

 

As for software related i have full access from work in my IT Tech role so am able to sort this out aswell as answer tickets etc.

The address and phone number, i wasnt aware it was a legal requirement. I'll get that sorted now.

 

Thanks Carl for your feedback.

Is this intentional? The links don't line up properly in FF?

[Messa]

Yes thats intentional.

[Edu-IT]

One thing I just noticed, when I was about to create an account, is that you aren't registered with companies house. I understand that all businesses have to. You haven't added any contact details yet either.

[Messa]

Hi,

 

Business's only need to be registered with companies house when you are LTD, we are'nt a LTD company but are still a registered business with HMRC.

 

As for the contact details, i've been having quite a bit of trouble with immature individuals calling taxi's and the like to my house so i am currently seeking advice on this.

 

Offer is still available, thanks to the people who have signed up for it! - if i don't get the chance to say it, i wish all Edugeeker's a very merry xmas and a happy new year!
