I've always been involved in the web hosting business one way or the other. I'm starting a new venture. I purchased dedicated server, control panel software and such. I want someone to design my hosting site (somebody who knows mac because I like the style of simplicity shown by fellow mac users)

In exchange for you designing the site for "free" I will make you my business partner and we can host sites and sell web hosting. I was thinking of gearing it toward a certian genre, business, artists and such.

I want a designer that KICKS butt. I have all the materials needed to build the site, but I'm just to lazy to do the design. Is anyone here interested in partnering up? I would want the site done in a week!

If your interested let me know:

Some sites I like: (i want very clean design):
http://www.servint.com/vps/
http://mediatemple.net/
http://2advanced.net/
http://www.dinix.com/ (2 complex)
http://www.macminicolo.net/
http://www.imhosted.com/index-netscape.shtml
http://www.sitevalley.com/
http://www.switchmedia.co.uk/(very clean)

I would handle the server, and all the software, support sections and such, obviously you could host all your personal sites for free as well as discounted hosting to your friends. I just want a mac business partner for this, and I have lots of experience.

If anybody is curious or interested PM me or post here to just talk about hosting in general. Would love input. thanks.

I am not offering my services but just wanted to say as one that is on the internet alot I much prefer non-flash sites. You can have a great non-flash site and in the end that is friendly to both high-speed and ial-up users. Flash is also not very friendly to the handicapped browser from what I understand.

While I don't want to sound like a wet blanket, web hosting has got to be the most commoditized business out there. Are you sure you want to get into this?

it's super saturated no doubt. I'm already way way into this through other companies. The new one is going to be pretty private offered to business in entertainment (where I have connections) and jsut a steping stone for other ventures.
