I can't believe I bought this book. It was a horrible waste of time. I got so angry at the author reading his extremely poor English, his vagueness and true inexperience with running a web hosting business it makes me want to sit down and write my own!

I still can't believe I ordered this and read through most of it. I want my money back.

Do not spend your money on this book. It is vague and provides no real information. There is absolutely no technical information that is worthwhile in this book. Very poorly written. This is an example of why I hesitate in buying anything online. This book got 1 star because Amazon required something.

The book is very poorly written, has very basic information, and not much to it except for misspelled words and bad grammer.

These 5 star reviews have to be his friends. I bought this book and was so frustrated reading it because I felt like I was taking advise from a 6th grader.

The author says he only ran a hosting company for about a year and then got frustrated and quit.

Not sure why Amazon keeps this self-published 100 page pamphlet on their website.

i like it! inspiring and quite impressive to read hints and ideas from someone who made his american dream come true building up his own business. there might be other books about the web and how to make money with it, but this is a true story.

This book will provide you with some good pointers for establishing a new web hosting business, or to extend an existing small web development business. Although the technical information is a little lacking, Christoph's real-life experience and sensible business acumen adds a level of depth to this book

Finally a book that provides a blueprint for my growing web hosting business. This is a business guide and not a technical book. Get a Linux book if you want to learn the technical stuff.

++: Covers many topics.
++: Easy to read.

--: It's only 128 pages - but then again it only provides a blueprint and the framework. Still 5 Stars from me.

This book is different. Some folks eventually might be disappointed but it is a business guide. You still have to go and do your own research, but the book shows you the way.

This is a great book for web hosts and businesses alike that want to improve
their entrepreneurial success. The author describes in easy to read words
how to start your own web hosting business and what needs to be considered
when breaking into the industry. This book should be part of a start-up kit
for every new web host. It definitely helped me improve my way of doing
business.

I liked this book because it is written from a real life perspective from someone who started from the ground up and made his dream work. While it's not really a technical "how-to" manual (for that you should get The Complete Web Hosting Kit Professional that has all the "how to" as well as all the software you need to set up a web server, an e-mail server, and go into business for yourself hosting other people's web sites) it does what few books do: inspires! I like to come away from a book feeling like "I can do that!", and that's the feeling I had after finishing the Web Hosting Manual.

If you are a beginner putting together your webhosting business or even a web designer adding webhosting to your products, this book is a must-have desk reference to get you started. This book covers almost everything you can imagine in the webhosting world when starting your own business.

This book has a wealth of information, even though it is not covering every aspect to run a web hosting business. The book, it is comprehensive, and covers more business subject areas than other web hosting books. I was very impressed with the structure of this book and that it really helps to decide if web hosting is the right industry for the reader or not. I see this book as a great and very usefull add-on for everyone who is collecting about starting a business. I also like the fact that the author is not applying some sort of sales pitch and that the reader is not being influenced to buy certain products or so. 5 Stars from me.
