Hi Guys,
Does anyone have any thoughts on a niche to resell a bit of space in a single node VPS system? Before the flames get too high, I'm NOT trying to sell anything as production class services! I do understand that without proper infrastructure, selling services to the unwitting is not appropriate or morally justifiable as a business owner.
That said, I do have a pretty solid understanding of what I'm doing and have no problem providing support and generally making sure that everything is working to spec. Shy of hardware failure, the system is pretty robust w/ an in place raid1 setup, redundant network links, generator power, and off-site backups.
I'm currently using the system to host a couple low traffic websites and for use as a development platform for my own enjoyment. Its currently running XCP (Xen) but I will be migrating to ProxMox (KVM & OpenVZ) shortly. The physical system is colocated in an East coast Datacenter w/ a 100gb port and 2TB allotted traffic.
I am currently using about 5-10% of the total resources on the server so I would love to sell a bit of the remainder to break even on hosting costs. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to go about finding a few interested parties?
I've considered spooling up a site to sell it as developer space but with the abundance of "$2 per month unlimited hosting!" I feel like it would be a tough sell. If you have any ideas, please let me know! Thanks!
