At Present I am looking for the Hosting source for the website. I believe I have found the one I am going to use. I have specific requirements for the hosting provider. I want to be able not only to provide unlimited domains to the members, but also want them to have the option of selling hosting as a product. So I needed a Master Resellers Hosting Package. I have found one and have brought this project before them to make sure that what we want to do will work. I am now just doing a little more research to make sure their system will work for us. Hopefully in a couple of weeks we will have a server for the site. The only thing I don't like about the deal I found was it will be shared hosting. I would prefer a Dedicated Server. The problem is this Provider is just now starting to market Dedicated Servers, so I don't know what there deals will be.
I also am not a "Techy" so having a Dedicated Sever will mean I will need in house support. Something I don't have right now. I would imagine that their Dedicated Servers will be unmanaged, So I will deal with shared temporarily until the sight can support it. I found a manage server provider but they where unwilling to allow a Master Resellers Package. That will not work for us, We need the ability for the members to offer hosting.
It will play into future product development, as we produce new products the members will have a opportunity to use their provided hosting to build a site and market their products. Each member will be different they may just want to take some of the Templates from the site that will be available, and bundle them with a Hosting Package and sell them. They will be able to do this when the site goes live. Then when a new product is available, They can build another site and market that. The more products we create the more opportunities for members. There is no set way they have to do this, not many restrictions, just grab some products, or work with a team and develop one. Just get creative and build their business.
Are you starting to see how this all fits together. The Hosting, website templates, the tutorials, The new product development, it is all tied together, but will be flexible enough to allow creativity. We won't have every member selling the same product, but we will have a line of products that you will be able to mix and match.
