The one and most important thing that make a hosting company attractive to clients is customer support. You probably heard this million of time before, but if any company is willing to invest enough money into customer support, they will win the game of hosting. People that use hosting service are not technical people, they do not have all the knowledge in the world like the webmasters;therefore they need a lot of help in putting togethere a website. They are eager to learn and if a hosting company is willing to help and guide them, they will automatically stay with that hosting company. A new hostting client will always have alot of questions at the beginning of hosting period, but once they have enough knowledge customer support will lessen. It is better to show someone how to fish then giving them a fish everyday. Prepare to help them out as much as possible at the begining that you will not have to provide much support to your clients later on.

A web hosting company is like a like a phone company or a cable T.V company. The hardest part in starting one these business is the money that you have to spend at the begining, but once the business is established there is nothing much to it. Let say for the phone company, they have to put a lot of money out at the beginning to build all the infrastructure to get the company up and running. The infrastructure that they build can support almost unlimited amount of customers. Once this infrastructure is done, the phone company can serve to as many clients as possible and dont have to worry much about putting in more money. A web hosting company is almost the same way, you have to have a large junk of money set aside to put together the servers for the company then, you bring on the clients. The servers are so powerful that you can support a lot of clients without having to invest more money into the servers. This theory is a very basic and fundamental business plan of all telecomunication companies.
