Oh gosh. And how many servers would both of those cover?
It mostly takes alot of cash
If you're planning on doing this just to make money, I suggest you stop where you are.
You'll find that you will have to pay for A LOT of stuff in the long run; server charges, software charges and etc. If you're looking for a quick way to get money, just go get a job or something.
I'm doing it for fun also.
There's nothing fun being waken up at 3AM by a horde of angry customers, because your rented "super reliable" server went offline for no apparent reason.
If JWJ has the time, he could hire you for the level 1 tech support, really basic things. Then you'll see how hard it can be, even at the very basic level.

I'd do that.
Waking up at 3 is part of the deal. Just business in general is fun. If that's what it takes to keep the customers happy, it's fun

There's already thousands of competitors, why would I care about one more?[/QUOTE]
not really an opinion, look at the oify, all the banners and backgrounds, and fp buttons are hosted on your site and about 40% of the time they don't load because you have terrible up-time.

Yeah, for like a week. This is why you get all these GSPs disappearing all the time.
The amount of nights and mornings I spent awake forging through crap was such a toll breaker on my system.

You seem like a very dedicated employee, have you considered working in a Chinese sweatshop?

Chinese sweatshop - Internet services, is there really a difference in work conditions?
