Are you a Linux master?
Do you love Bind books?
Do you know every aspect of Apache and PHP configurations?
Are you passionate about mail servers and web hosting?
Then would you like to share a VPS with me?
I’ve always been interested in the hosting business. It’s quite safe to start a hosting company nowadays, without way too much money to invest and without too much hassle for tech support and client management. There are tons of cost effective solutions for managed reseller hosting.
But lately I’ve found myself thinking about Virtual Private Servers. I’m not an expert on Linux and Apache but I think that a VPS gives you a lot more freedom than shared hosting. You don’t have limits on how you run PHP or what’s installed on your machine. You can resell whatever you want and manage your own operating system. You are the root user. It’s like owning your own machine… but you can always restore it if you break something.
The only problem is that I’d be the only one managing it. I’m sure I can’t do it all by myself. I need “a little help from my friends” but actually I know nobody with decent linux and sysadmin knowledge. So here I am: would you like to be my Pixelfriend? Are you interested in helping me to manage a VPS? I’d entirely pay for the Virtual Server and we could, eventually, come out with some sort of small business activity. I’d like to do it just “for fun” but basically I need to learn how stuff works. I need to learn how to remotely manage a system and how to setup domains, accounts and websites.
It’s a risk-free activity. You only have to collaborate with me managing the VPS linux host. Maybe we’ll build a very basic business so I will be able to pay you down the road. Maybe it will be just damn funny.
Think about it and let me know
