I am looking at buying up some hosting companies next year. No, not the size of PHAT, and the other names you consistently see on here. But a number of mainstream smaller companies who have clients, and are looking to sell off their networks.
This is something I am looking for on a very small scale to provide hosting, and other services for some of the projects I am working on in 2008. So I am not planning to be yet one more spamming host on the ole GFY. This is strictly for my companies way to maximize more revenue streams.
My question is, where would I find either
1. Managed hosting and support.
I am looking to buy companies, and clients. Not be Mr tech support. So I would want to contract out support for the network to an established company. Since this will be a small scale thing, I do expect support needed much. However, I want to make sure that they are some guru's in place to handle that madness.
2. A single contracted tech guru who can set up all this to run 90% on auto pilot. They worry about support once I have enough business booming through the servers, etc.
Fire away with your ideas, and recommendations chief.
