if anyone has any ideas that would be great. I was thinking of kind of business on a web site host?

To be a web host, you really need to understand your stuff so you can provide support to your customers.

There are kiddies that will buy a cheap reseller package and sell cheap with little or no support and then the business folds when the 1st unexpected problem comes along or there are the others who work hard and understand the business.

Either way, you'll not get rich on web hosting alone, there are profits to be made in hosting and related services, but not easy.

Research, research and more research is what you need.

If being bored is the only reason for starting a business, then what do your customers do when your not bored or you get bored with this business?

You really want to find something you have a real passion about - built websites around core interests, then look to monetise them later.

Should solve boredom, plus bring in some money - eventually.

First, get hold of an easy-to-use website creation package. You may already have FrontPage, or if not then NVU is open source and free to download.

Once you have chosen which package you are going to use, try creating a basic website about a subject that interests you. There is plenty of guidance available on the internet if you search for the name of your package.

You can make a free website at BlueVoda. You dont need any HTML knowledge. Look up Google for BlueVoda. I can't post any links right now

I started off by learning HTML and writing it in notepad. Once I learnt HTML I bought a domain name and hosting and it all went from there. I'd definitely build websites about things that you're really passionate about.

You could try www.w3schools.com if you're interested in learning HTML.

Hi,
How about a xxx web site. for a business. just wondering how succesful
Thanks

If by XXX you mean an adult website for a business then YES you can make a go of it but you have to be aware that although the adult industry is a thriving one and has been for thousands of years, the internet is a very hard (if you pardon the pun) marketplace for adult business.

There is so much FREE adult content available on the net that even the "big players" have trouble with internet sales. The likes of PlayBoy with it's massive worldwide presence and franchise doesn't fair to well on the net.

There are other adult businesses that do very well though, the adult clothing / toys industry (i.e. Anne Summers etc) is a perfect example of a thriving internet niche.

Hi,

More Questions about putting together a web site busines. My Question is If I was to say put adult toys on my web site. Could I
Rent from a store to sell products? instead of buying all the products because it cost way to much keeping stock costly I should
say. How do I look into this and where can I find places to rent from? can someone help me out.

Thanks for any info on this.
