I am looking to buy some smaller hosting companies and clients selling out in the short term. Then I will look at data centers, or building my own backbone down the road. Right now I simply need to diversify a bit, and have a very easy option for clients web hosting needs.
I get tired of referring them elsewhere and then my programmers, and myself, have to learn all these different processes and issues with various cheap hosts clients are picking. It simply is much easier to set them up on my own, then it will speed things up, and offer added value for support.
