It's been good to read this thread, and very positive too. I've just started out in the webhosting business and I guess I've started off ok for my first week as I have a couple of customers coming through already :)

So for my first post here I'd like to say that I take note of what people have been saying here as you have all appear to have made it work for you :) Thanks for the advice, the warnings, the message to persevere and the general positive advice.

I'm enjoying the journey so far (short as it is) and reduced my 'day job' to part time in order to spend time doing this. Wish me luck [Gulp!] ...I may be calling for help very soon hehe. :)

PS. If any of you intend to throw any customers away, pleeeease throw them my way ;)
