In a day where it seems hundreds of webhosting ‘companies’ are founded daily, it’s mind boggling to see some succeed, while the vast majority fail, and close up shop in a year or less. How can this be? After all, most of these companies’ servers are all in the same major datacenters, they use mostly the same billing software, and their websites usually all boast the same misleading images of servers. Yet, some will make thousands off it, many will loose hundreds.
I recently interviewed Jerome Everall, the President of one of the webhosting companies that is actually doing well. Jerome was very interesting to speak with, and I really learned quite a bit. Portions of the interview have been edited.
