Hello!

First of all, thank you for your interest, every view on this thread means a lot to me.

I'm not going to go into details publicly, but I'll try and give as much information as I think is safe for me to do.


What am I investing in?

You're basically investing in the assumption that people are going to continue to need websites. Pretty safe bet, right? if a company doesn't have a website in this day and age, It doesn't stay a company for very long.

 

 

How much do you need?

I need a total of $2000 for the 1st 6 months of server, utilities, setup and other assorted costs. Probably less, but i rounded up heavily to be safe.

 

 

What is the advantage (to yourself) if I invest in you?

I'm not entirely decided on that yet, there will be advantages, Probably, you would own shares of my company, which I would either buy back, or you could sell to someone else for more than what you paid for them once the company gains in size.


How safe is my investment?

You will not lose your money. 100% guaranteed. I have an inheritance of slightly more than $10 000 coming to me at some point in the near future.(as long as you accept this isn't just a scam)

Why do you need inverters then?

Because I've been waiting for my inheritance for over a year and a half now, and the sooner I get things started, the sooner i break even, and the quicker i can expand, etc. bigger and better things.. etc etc.


Goals:
The first thing that needs to happen, is i need to buy the initials. The hardware required will first be rented, (Dedicated server) & all the software i need will be purchased. I'll then take up to 1 month to test everything out to make sure it's all working properly. At that point i'll go live & start offering web hosting.

Web hosting is cheap to do, and is in high demand. it's a very safe investment on both of our parts.

Now, there is obviously the issue of getting customers. Well, i've thought of that.

Manual advertising will be tedious, but it's a must at first. at first i'll direct my advertisements at other communities like OSBot (which will remain nameless). When i have enough customers that i'm starting to make some of the investment back, then i'll start putting down a bit of money for paid ads. again, first on sites like OSBot, and later on huge globally known websites like Youtube, Facebook, etc.

 

If things go well enough, television ads will be a possibility.

 

When it's time to expand, i'll get another dedicated server & start offering more than just web hosting, Vps, reseller hosting (if i'm not already doing that) referral bonus'

I also advertise for some choice web developers on my site. (for free) it's simply so that my customers can get reliable work done without having to do a bunch of work tracking down a freelance web designer who doesn't charge an arm and a leg.

You'll notice that most of these goals aren't exactly mountains. I feel like it's important to take things slow and carefully, at least at first while I find my place in the business world. but don't get me wrong, I have wild goals for the future involving data centers all over the world. It will be beautiful.

Company info:

In it's very basics, it will be a hosting provider. Webhosting, vps, dedicated servers, etc. Depending on the technical advancements of the future, possibly expanding to an internet service provider.

I also have a related idea that i won't be discussing with anyone which may also be a huge money maker, but i need close to half a million to even start that.

Don't have a name yet, if you have a suggestion that i end up using, i'll give you 1% ownership of the company to do with what you want.


If you want me to go into more detail with you, I'll have to talk to you privately & i'll get you to sign a non-disclosure contract if i feel like i need to.


In addition to looking for investors, I'm also going asking for donations, though I'm not really expecting any.

Anyone who donates will get some form of compensation. I'm not sure what it will be yet, but it will be something like, Free premium level webhosting/vps, etc for x amount of time. depending on how much is donated.




If you are interested in investing in me, i'll need the following:

Your Name, First and last
Your address
and if you want to be extra safe, Email/phone number

Basically so that i can contact you if i need to, for stuff like, letting you know i can buy your stocks back, emergencies.



If you want to donate, you don't have to provide any information, but if you don't i wont be able to offer you anything as a thanks for believing in me.


To anyone who supports me, I will be more grateful to you than the English language has words to describe. Even to those of you who can't help financially. Even positive comments are a huge help to keep me motivated.

So, here's to you guys -imaginary cheers- and thank you again for reading my proposal. as i said, every view means a lot to me.



Ps, if you want to contact me please add me on skype; Watlingj1

If you don't have a skype, PM me and I'll give you another way to get in touch. worst case, we can use OSBot's chatbox to PM each other.


Finally, here are the methods of currency transfer I'm currently able to accept:

Paypal: jaiden.watling@gmail.com

You can also use this link to donate any amount via paypal

Bank Email payment: jaiden-watling@hotmail.com


Update:

I've purchased Reseller hosting from Mywayhosting & i am going to be spending the next few days setting it all up, and assuming all goes well, I'll be able to start offering web hosting quite soon! The dream, it's happening guys!

Update 2: I have officially released! you can view my market thread here: http://osbot.org/forum/topic/45827-jwhosting-freecheap-ddos-protected-web-hosting/

or go directly to the site, here: http://jwhosting.org

By the way, this is a temporary name, I still am not sure what i'd like to use as a real name, if you can come up with one that i use, i'll give you 1% ownership of the company.

If you're looking for investors you should probably start with a business plan.

Include your goals and how you plan to obtain those goals.

 

Basically you need to show people that you're serious, and proof that this isn't just a scam. lel

I agree, but the only thing currently standing in my way is lack of funds. However, you're right. I'm going to add that now. Thanks.

Thank you OP for verifying your credentials.

Do you accept paypal donations??

You forgot to include what payment methods you accept?

 

Do you accept 07 or EOC too?

Yes I do, I completely forgot to include that. Durrrrp. If you are interested in donating, i have added payment methods at the very bottom of the post

Thanks for helping to correct my mistake

Right now, i don't accept OSGP but, i guess i could make an account on Rs3 if someone wanted to donate with it. I hadn't considered this before. thanks. I'll see if i can find a frequent buyer first.. i don't need any more huge hassles on my plate. lol

TBH, you shouldn't accept donations in gp form. It'd be hard to document it legally, considering GP selling is against RS rules.

Not to mention it's kind of a high risk. You could get scammed, then what happens to their donation? Do you still include them as a donor?

Someone donates you 10m, you say it's 2/m, they say 2.5/m

Suddenly their donation went from 25 dollars to 20 dollars.

Just sounds like too much room for tension and mistakes.

That makes a lot of sense. If i were to accept a GP donation, it would be only after i found a buyer and had a set price, but i wasn't really planing on pushing gold donations. I'm trying to be as legal as possible

 

Thanks

I hate to be that guy but I think this i sagainst the rules not sure though.
