Need some partners in gsp
#1
Hey,

Well, i am wanting to start a GSP, but i am looking for a partner or multiple partners.

1. What is your target market?
My tartget market would be Voice chat, Game servers, and Webhosting.

2. What is your business plan?
My plan? My plan is to start with one or two dedicated servers and start to grow. I plan maybe to sell game server slots at $2.00 or higher. I plan to sell my Voice chat slots at $0.30 a peice and my Webh hosting clients i am not sure about.
I plan to have one dedicated server for game servers and the other for teamspeak servers and maybe some webhosting. I plan to run about 100 slots on my game servers. Meaning I would make $200.00 on one server. Paying the servers bill and maybe making $50.00 to grow. On my team speak and webhosting server i plan to make $200.00 dollars, meaning i will sell more slots.


3. What is your starting budget?
I am looking for a partner that has a budget and is willing to use it, so we can start. You would soon get your money back after we start to grow. We just can't pay you right when were starting. Get it?


4. What games do you plan on supporting?
Call of Duty Series, Quake Series, Counter Strike, Red Orchestra, and some other games. I plan to host ventrillo and team speak for voice chat servers.


5. What will be your support hours?
Depends. When they send email, they might get a response between 7 hours to 10 mintes. If we offer live support, maybe our hours could be from when ever some ones on the support desk.


6. What will your billing procedures be?
Paypal, Check, Credit Card

7. How will you prevent chargebacks on server accounts?
That's a good question!
8. Will you provide license keys for every game you support?
No.
9. Will you provide license keys for external programs such as FTP etc..
No.

10. Do you have any security measures you will employ on the servers?
Scans. We would also have a fire wall.

11. How would you handle DDos attacks or sustained inbound/outbound traffic?
Ask the company that we are renting our dedicated server from to help us, or we could just ban the ip.

12. How many servers will you put on each machine and why?
Depends. As many servers as it takes up to make 100 Slots. 100 Slots because more than 100 Slot can cause lag and also we will be running strong, fast machines( this is the for game servers).

13. Do you have any escalation procedures in place in the event of a hard drive crash?
Not of now.

14. What is your backup procedures?
Most likely to get another dedicated server, or if it's only an hour of downtime we could just say that there has been a crash on the server and it will be an hour to its back up, so thanks for your patience.

15. Do you have a backup plan in the event your server gets hacked?
Get another dedicated server.

My website actually has been hacked once. I ran an IPLog and got his ISP, his IP address, and I filed a report. I had contacted his ISP to shutdown his service and asked them to notify their local police. They got his work location, and he was hit with 20 hours community service, and probation. Cuz hackers suck.

It sounds like he's looking for someone who would have enough money to help him pay for his plans:

There's no mention of what else the partner would be doing in this GSP.

lol. yea it seems all he wants is some money Toungue. although that is about the biggest limiting factor is money, but you need to have a lot more then just that, you need some skill to rent out game servers.

Like what would you offer to your clients to control there server? Like some control panel maybe?

Do you have a license to host teamspeak and ventrilo?
teamspeak is a minimum $14 /month and ventrilo a minimum of $100 and its quite difficult to become a licensee of ventrilo.

Its just a suggestion, but you might need a bit more capital and investigate what you want to host and how much it will cost before you go ahead and start a business from scratch
