Go local... Thats unique. Dont try and become a HUGE web based host. Advertise localy and get someone who can do good design/dev work as well. Sell them as a package or at least advertise them as a package. But as people said before you might just want to try something else. About 2 years ago I was a host who had broke into the black and was starting to get things rolling when I was hit with so much CC fraud that I couldnt recover :-(. Had to sell my customers and keep them online cause (IMO) I was one of the hosts who gave a **** about my customers and wanted to help them out as much as possible.

So I plan on re-starting but with a more local intention and the place I am currently has a need so it will work well when I get there...
