Hi all,

I am starting a hosting business that hides the user from the complexities of setting up the website backend and only providing a dedicated website builder only (based on swsoft sitebuilder)

services to include:

- domain and email setup for the user

- easy to use website builder

- full support of email and builder products

- targeted towards small/medium business that are not computer savvy

- website fully hosted

My question is, will a business like this likely generate sales enough to make the business profitable? Is the market way too saturated with businesses homestead, moonfruit, citymax, web hosters providing sitebuilders, and web designers?

Also, are there any additional services I can provide to bring in more revenue apart from custom webdesign, or banner/logo editing?

SR5k!

Heck no! There are a ton of small businesses that want a low cost website to promote themselves and their services.

So, that said - you're on the right path - and you HAVE TO MARKET YOURSELF! Have a great website for the hosting/design business and get the word out. One thing important to market w/ custom services is SEO - Search Engine Optimization - to get them high in the rankings for here Yahoo and Google. You do that by using your keywords in META tags and having good content.

The best of luck!
