starting a business, but need partner!

[domaintalk]

I am starting a hosting business, but need a reliable partner, anyone have any ideas where to find them from?

just out of curiosity... why do you need a partner? is it for technical help, finanacial help?

I need a partner to help run the business. EVERYTHING will be split in 50/50 .
(its a web hosting business, not a site )
Please dont pm me with server offers thank you.

oh i don't have any offers... but usually a new hosting business can barely support one person .. i can't imagine how this would be a good deal for someone to join you in unless you already have a client base.

50/50 of nearly nothing isn't very attractive as an offer.. did you buy an established hosting business?

Hi, i know you didnt send me offer, but others did. Its diffrent in the UK businesses. It also depends on you target group and prices. Many use CHEAP prices to attract customers asap which is why they make little money.

I'm not really trying to rain on your parade, but in the UK wouldn't 1&1 hosting be your biggest competitor? with a plan that only costs 4.99 british pounds (about 9.50 usd) a month, they'll be tough to compete with...

Thats true, no probs. But the thing is most NEW customers wont be going on 1&1 unless a friend tells them to. But out business is diffrent, tbh 1&1 has terrible control panel, not a good support. We aim at small businsses and large personal sites.
I will be advertising in google and tophosts which i know will give me a decent no. of customers. I have exprience in the sales field of web hosting for about 3 years.
It wont take long to build up trust and the word of mouth will grow.
