Business Plan for Web-building Business
I've been hanging out mostly in the Adsense forum, but I've got a general question, and I don't even know if the warrior forum is the place to ask, but here we go:
I have had pretty good success building my siggy line website. I've also be hired on a contract basis to build/manage two others. I LOVE building sites in Wordpress. I'm not a super tech guru, but I do know my way around WP, and can edit .php and .css pretty well (what I don't know, I can figure out on WP forums). So my services would be cheaper than your average tech and not as fancy as some other sites. I'm looking more for local businesses to work with me to start so I can build my portfolio. Looks like I might have two restaurants that are going to work with me as well.
So. I had an idea that if I did a 5-year plan with HostGator, I could host all of the sites that I build and charge a modest monthly fee ($10/mo) for hosting. Is this feasible? Is it also legal for me to have a business that uses WP themes and whatnot for commercial use? I have one theme that I really like, so I would probably use that one almost exclusively (it's super customizable) and then I'd be able to pay that theme designer as I was able.
I was thinking of doing the host gator thing just for my own site and my niche sites as I build them, because my current host (I love them) doesn't have unlimited domains available. They're pricey comparatively, but I love their customer service.
Anyway, advice? Or advice about where to go to get more info about starting your own service hosting and building websites? Thanks a million!
