Preliminary Review,
By
This review is from: Getting & Managing Your First 1,000 Clients In Web Hosting (Paperback)
Since this is a new product on the market, I'm still working my way through it. These are my initial thoughts, which I will revise later:
The book does a phenomenal job of covering the scope of what someone new entering the hosting business would need to know. There's a lot of practical knowledge in these chapters: scripts, day-to-day operational procedures, marketing, and more. The author also has developed software that could be invaluable for the new host to use (not included with this book). I've been in the hosting industry for 10 years and I still feel there are some items that are of value to me. Things that fall by the wayside such as local marketing in favor of online marketing. That being said, I hope the author takes the time to address the two shortcomings of the book. First, I think the biggest hurdle of someone entering this highly saturated market is finding their niche. The author covers this in the book, however I think a future version of the book would benefit from this being expanded upon. Secondly, it's obvious that the author's first language is not English. The book could really use a good editor to proofread. I think it unfairly undermines the effectiveness of the author, when it's clear he is a subject matter expert in the field. I'm currently mentoring someone new to the industry and plan to use this book as a reference. I will update this review with the outcome of that effort. Robert [...]

Very good collection of information! Webhosts' Bible!,
By
This review is from: Getting & Managing Your First 1,000 Clients In Web Hosting (Paperback)
This book is an awesome book for someone not just new to webhosting, but someone who already has a good understanding of what it takes to be successful. All the book does, is puts it into a format that you can read what most already know. It also has some really good information on how to set up everything from a simple reseller account, to dedicated servers. There is nothing Con like about it. Don't matter what this guy did or didnt do has nothing to do with the quality information, or the content that is provided in this book! Its a very good book almost like a bible of webhosting. Has very good information. 4 Stars! I would reserve 5 stars for absolute Perfection!

How this book has helped my business.,
This review is from: Getting & Managing Your First 1,000 Clients In Web Hosting (Paperback)
While all things in this book shouldn't be taken as 100% fact (offering one product can actually hurt conversion rates), many of the things here are pure gold for the upcoming web host. My company has followed the advice, and is doing extremely well thus far. It takes you from start->finish on both setting up your WHM, and WHMCS, and onwards to getting your first 100 clients, 1000 clients, and beyond.
