Starting a Shared Web Hosting Company

@aaronstuder I know I may be quite late to the game but the other option companies are doing is using the hyperconverged solution from HTBase (www.htbase.com)
With that, you can build a cloud environment utilizing existing or new hardware that you may acquire as well as it comes with an "AWS like" panel where your clients can go online, create their own virtual machines and have total control of that.
Along with that "AWS like" panel, called Fortis, you get an Application Market, where you can provide customers with customized applications that can be installed automatically as they create their vms. There is a charge back mechanism and others.
And, if you need to scale and want to use cloud servers, there is OCH, the OneCloud Hypervisor, that allows you to get resources from cloud providers such as AWS and GCE and make them work as internal infrastructure for you (www.htbase.com/och)

The demo links are not working when I click to them on the homepage, any chance you could look into that? I'm interested in checking it out.

Oh right, I thought it was an actual, let's play with the interface demo.
-
If you would like, we can get you access to an aws instance with OCH and you can spin off a server there and start creating VMs in it with OCH
-
your probably find a lot of customers would like Cpanel as well, and if you then go on to reselling then you would need WHM and cpanel.

The tiniest instance, really I'm just interested in playing with the interface and seeing how to manage it. I'll dropped you a chat with my email if you want to take further.

@StuartJordan In our case, you have Fortis, which is an end-user interface that you can give to customers.
On Fortis they can create their own VMs, have applications automatically installed and others along with the charge back.

@htbase - I see, more targeting vps instances then rather than basic static web hosting pages.

oooh ... you're entering a market that's already saturated with an entire smorgasbord of vendor types.. penetrating this market would be a challenge...
What is the key differentiator, that you have ?

It would've been nice to see what HTBase had to say, lol.
