swish Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Todd had been in business for some time. He built his comapny up over time. Something happened suddenly that forced him to close his doors. Sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Holley Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 Hope you did Sell what you had Todd to cover whatever expense you might of had to at least end up with something to show for it. Wish that would of been the case. I should have re-started a merger that I had decided to go against back in November. I have to tell you sitting there sending people their money that I owed them as I put everything down in 1 night was the hardest thing I have ever done. I honestly wished that these problems would not have come up as I thoroughly enjoyed the business. Spartan, it is not a good idea to start a GSP. I started in january 07' and really I started too late. The chances of you making it are .00001. And the temporary damage you may cause to other gsp's by cutting prices and such is larger. But if you have your mind set, make sure to get your machines from ColoCrossing.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartanfrog Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Yeah I was thinking of hosting like thousands of servers.....just super small. I was looking at colocrossing to colocation, if i started I would have to own my own machines. Buy yeah I probably wont be and even if i were it would be a long time from now. But best of luck, hope everything works out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougK94 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 1000's of servers? There are not many with 1000's, I would guess a majority are not even in the 100's. Most startup GSP's only host their own clan or team servers and a handful of others. Not to say that 1000's are not possible, but the odds are not good. It would take quite a bit of $$$, time, staff, and marketing among other things to reach that type of level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lkonig Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Man I haven't been here long and it sucks to see one go down. Making a GSP profitable is not easy at all. Taking small steps is what I have done. So far very successful. I have been listening to all of you and taking some good advice. Thank you all for helping me so far.

JasonF Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Starting a GSP is like starting any business if a over saturated market. It takes a lot of time and a lot of cash to grow your business. I think most people that start GSPs believe they can just put create a site and the clients will come flocking. When reality sets in they put up the closed sign. It would be nice to see the numbers of companies that come and go and how long after they started did they close shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonF Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 We should start a GSP graveyard thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 It takes a long time. While I rented dedicated servers I made no money. I went out and bought some and now I finally get to bring some money in to at least upgrade if not buy new servers. Took over 14 months to get to the point I'm at. And advertisement out the gazoo.

lkonig Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Brian makes an excellent point. I currently rent my servers and am making little money but in business. It is a huge step I think going out and purchasing your own box's. Brian if you would email singleshotvgs[at]gmail.com I would like to talk to you more about this if you are willing to share some knowledge.

jbiloh Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Bryan, Still confused as to why we haven't had the chance to save you some coin, while connecting to you to the nations most connected networks. ColoCrossing wants your business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is in regards to your ColoCrossing balance. I haven't the least idea where my phone is. There should be no colocrossing balance due at all.
