Rackspace (WAS: Re: [NTLUG:Discuss] setting up a web-hosting company)

[David Neeley]

If you're going into the web hosting business, you are competing with the 
hosting companies you would be using. Some of them are pretty funny about this.

In a pure co-location deal, you can host many Websites with your costs 
determined by any or all of amount of rack space consumed, extent  to which 
the co-location provider provides any management services, and volume of 
traffic.

However, the number of individual sites can vary widely, so long as your 
connection and your machine capacity can sustain it.

If you are web hosting, and have say 40 or 50 small customers, the 
$300/month you quoted may be a good deal.
