Don’t laugh, but I want to start a Hosting business.... need tech partner

[NewMerchant]

... yes, yes, I know it is competitive, but I recently I have seen small, simple reseller start ups in 2008 turn into decent sized operators.

I have a background (~5 years, 1999-2005) in Access and hosting mostly as a Commercial manager for Top 3 UK players, but am a bit rusty. I also ran a vISP for 3 years as well (dial up & host).

So what am I looking for is a technical person (location not so important, but USA/UK/SG/AUS would be good) who wants to join up with a Commercial person and run a hosting business on the side and see where it takes them. Would like to eventually to have offerings in the USA, UK and HK/SG markets. Some SEO knowledge would be advantageous as would telling me where the hosting mid-market will be in 3 years or so.

In the early stage I guess it will have to be a white label cPanel op, I have one in mind but suggestions of solid white label operators would be good.

Also would consider a joining a small hosting firm looking for a Business partner?

thanks,

i am actually in the process of creating a website where small businesses can have their website designed, hosted, logo designed and a business plan... kind of a complete starter package for businesses looking to expand to the internet, if you would like to host through that you can
