Wanting to get in to the seedbox selling business Howdy! I am looking to get into the seedbox selling service not looking to create a huge business. I have a few questions for those that are resellers. About how much initial capital would it take to start one?

Seems like a fantastic price.

Should be able to triple my money or so per month it seems. What types of skills are involved? VPS's are obviously preferred, but I'm not sure how to set them up through the command line. Would I even need to? I'm not a unix admin, but I have some unix knowledge and programming skills, and am pretty well versed in computer technical stuff.

How much time is involved? I know that's an ambiguous question. For example, how often are support tickets opened? How much time do you spend administering? What's the best way to accept payment? I love paypal, and would like to use it. Any other good, secure checkout methods?

How important are server specs?

What sort of specs are good for selling slices to Last edited by dantearouet; April 3rd, at HERM3S View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message View Articles View Activity. Wanting to get in to the seedbox selling business My advice to you would be to volunteer as for a company if they are willing. The reason I say this, is because these are very basic questions when it comes to server managment, and starting a company will surely set you up for failure.

You are headed in the right direction, Right now I am using vePortal for virtual managment. It is very simple, and resource savvy. I put on, at maximum, and I have 16GB DDR3 coupled with a solid Quad or Two Dual Cores. I can tell you from experience, support is everything.

Wanting to get in to the seedbox selling business Besides what Herm3s pointed out who co-owns omegabox as you can see in his signature; 1. Something like gigabit servers at RapidSpeeds will cost a lot more to start up than say OVH. Wow, I want to be on your business plan!

Since you mentioned VPSs too, check out how competitive these are: However, there is also an OpenVZ guide how to set one up by the terminal. I honestly don't go through all the virtualization. I can setup users with FTP, SSH, SFTP, Rutorrent, etc without needing to setup VPSs. The freedom for the user is a lot less than a VPS, but on the upside you have complete control over your user's activities. SeedMonster gets about a dozen tickets a day because of some poorly setup servers in the past by other people.

WarpSeed which I own gets only 1 or 2 a day at most because most stuff I automated. Such as rtorrent rebooting, and other self-healing practices. However, those tickets you want to be right on top of. Personally I have it setup so the ticket goes straight to my phone by email and will even wake me up in the middle of the night.

That's the kind of dedication I try to do. Ya, Paypal can work. GGSHQ does AlertPay last I checked. Google checkout is a rather new one but has the same fees and is less standardized as Paypal. People may turn their backs on you if you don't support Paypal. Depends on how many. The most on any server, regardless of specs, is Learned that from our last high end server we bought.

I wouldn't recommended putting that many on just any server though, stick with the guidelines Herm3s mentioned. This is sometimes something people will look for more than speed sometimes.

Just be prepared to dedicate a lot of your time to this, it will take more than a few hours a week I can guaranteed that. Another thing I agree with Herm3s on is go volunteer for a seedbox company if you can. Get someone to be your mentor while you are there as well. Basically I just agreed with everything Herm3s said lol.

Last edited by Synth; April 17th, at Wanting to get in to the seedbox selling business hey guys how can I volunteer for a seedbox company, I'm also looking to get some experience on this subject, thanks in advance.

Wanting to get in to the seedbox selling business Thanks a bunch for the advice guys. I've thought about testing the waters by hosting a couple real life friends and simply evening out profits and costs on one or two servers.

You might need to have an account there. Also, I think saying "business" in the OP was a little misleading. I read back on the OP and I was a wee bit optimistic. Well way too optimistic, haha. As for volunteering, it sounds like a good idea in general, but I don't think it would float my personal boat.

It will be hard to find friends that will test your "outside the norm" uses of your boxes IMO friends are great for testing the expected such as final betas but plan for the unexpected early on will benefit in the long run.

Wanting to get in to the seedbox selling business becoming a volunteer is a good way to start but the company will most likely not have you look at the most important thing you need to become a reseller or host yourself and that is the wholesale prices and server management and where they get the stuff from. I suggest setting up a good website with whmcs as backend to start with.

Find a seedboxhost that offers reseller plans dont think you will be rich, it is hard work If you find such a host, buy a cheap but good server with unmetered traffic and ask the host to help you set it up Most hosts have scripts and autoinstalls that you could use.

If you want to learn more about nix, ask for plain server and maybe put a vps script on it i dont reccommend veportal, that has some issues with rtorrent sometimes depending on the type of hardware you use. Then from that euro's you need to pay the server that leaves you with 30 euro's on a server if youre lucky, damn lucky.

For those 30 euro's you need to give really good support to at least 4 clients, pay for your hosting, website, whmcs, paypal fees etc Make sure you have at least one coder besides you. Wanting to get in to the seedbox selling business The server specs depend upon your business model and target audience. We get by just fine with Dual Quad, 16G Ram and RAID10 setup on our VPS nodes, and can put in way more than just 8 1 per core of users: It's matter of optimization.

Importance should be put on scalability, scaling at a comfortable pace for you. We actually offer now a perfect reseller package for SBs, completely turn key for the service part and i am going to work during august to make it whitelabel as well.

We also give significant discounts to resellers. You still need a website, domain, and billing system of your own. Some actually buy our standard services and resell them as-is, nothing fancy, keeps track on excel etc. Similar Threads are you still looking for the torrent you wanted to get into when you joined?
