    I agree with reviewer Maggin and am astonished at the number of fantastic reviews for this book. The author’s friends? Any adult may possibly write most of this book off the top of her head. Where to get funding: personal funds (DUH!), the bank (DUH!). How to fire an worker? Sigh. This is generic stuff, most is not about web hosting in particular. Same with suggestions for advertising. Maybe if you are a person with zero business experience you will benefit from some of the generic advice, but you’d do just as well with a book from your local library about starting a business in general. I returned this book in the next mail.

    Essentially the point of this book is to assert that hosting web pages for yourself and your friends makes its own lesser income streams. This book, for example, which the writer self-published and marketed through Amazon. It’s encouraging to learn that self-publishing is really a relatively worthwhile pursuit here in the twenty-first century, but it’s not terribly useful to someone looking for a nuts-and-bolts account of web-hosting — which is ostensibly what the book is about. Rah, rah, Chris; tickled to hear it’s working out so well for you, but I’ve got a life too. See you around.

    I considered The Web Hosting Manager to be a fantastic book, especially for persons just beginning in the web hosting business – or for persons who need to remind themselves why they’re in the business. The information does not get too technological (I consider this to be a excellent business), and grammatical errors run rampant (I consider this to be a terrible business. Ok, so I’m a writer and kind of freak out about that – most folks doubtless wouldn’t notice.). This book holds a fantastic wealth of information.

    The book starts off by detailing the costs for getting started, and the exact actions to take. It does a superb job of guiding one along from wanting to start a business to really getting the startup process done. Everything is covered here – from legal to reseller accounts and more. One business I liked about this book was that it did not detail one hundred different ways to start – i.e. reseller account, dedicated server, own data center, etc. – Christoph Puetz, the author, realizes that most folks reading this book have limited funds and so want to startup as quickly, easily, and on the cheap as possible. Therefore, the book assumes that the reader will go with a reseller account, and everything from the beginning forward is based on that.

    This book evaluates typical competitors and typical customers, and also details financing, employment, pricing, and more. This part was extremely useful to me, as it helped me cement my business plot and really feel comfortable with it when I was finished! Again, it does not go very in-depth into any of the subjects, but there is also not too much of a need to do so, in my opinion. I found the part about worker motivation to be particularly useful, as I am getting to the point where I will need to hire some folks, if I go after VC funding.

    The last part of the book deals with marketing. It is filled with many quite brilliant marketing techniques, and includes sections on business cards, AdWords, local marketing, and other proven techniques. Even if you buy the book only for this part, it is still very much worth the $20 or so you will pay.

    All in all (grammatical errors aside), this is an brilliant read, and I highly recommend that every web host hold a copy. It is the only book written wholly for the startup/small web host, and perhaps the only book that would make possible these smaller hosts to become larger. It is the industry’s one right “bible”, and I recommend getting your hands on a copy ASAP.

    This is by far the best book about starting a web hosting business that I have read. There is just not something comparable on the market. Simple to read “instructions” and the author leaves enough room for everyone to follow without over-loading the reader with information he might not need.

    I was looking for a book about web hosting, but, this provides small information. It is a VERY basic guide – mostly about business, small about web hosting.
