Thread: Interested in starting a seedbox company

Hello all, I am interested in starting a seedbox company. Is there a reseller company that I can join to get this started? Any information on my quest for getting this going is much appreciated.

Well, You've got quite a long road ahead of you. Questions you should be asking yourself are why you want to. What will make you different from other providers that would make you stand out. I personally would be glad to provide you with the necessary servers to use. pm me

Well I really want to know the whole idea behind how it works first, then I would be able to distinguish what would make me different from everyone else. Do seed-box companies pay other server companies and then just setup their business, do they acquire their own equipment or it can go either way? If I could pay a server to get my seed-box business going what obstacles am i looking at besides advertising and seo stuff(I can handle all of that I got a really good team going for that type of stuff) Sorry I am not really tech savy and that's why I want to know how it breaks down before pursuing it further. I don't want to waste anyone's time either, so let me make this clear for now that I am just looking for information about this before I consider pursuing it. Thanks , any information will be helpful

I'll be honest with you...you have a long way to go if you don't really know what they are.

Most seedbox providers get their servers from OVH or Leasweb (who don't set up servers as seedboxs).
Then they set up the servers as seedboxes which requires a little know how and then resell them, while providing support if anything goes wrong, again requiring a little know how. These providers are known as resellers.
You could buy from a reseller, but it would be difficult making a profit that way unless you can fool people in2 paying you more for whats already out there at a cheaper price...but then they would be a long channel to go through for support which would render your service inadequate..

You mainly need customers in what is already a very competitive market....Theres a lot of people with a lot more knowledge who havn't ventured into this because it's not that easy

Thanks for your honesty and knowledge, I think I'll take your advice and pass. I just wanted to know the process and you described it clearly, Thanks aap1

Bad, don't listen to them it's time to take that bad and turn it into badass, I had a couple small projects in the work and until I get those going we could work some reselling deal out as I already do with a few companies (I won't name names) So if you would like to take atleast a small shot at it, and heck If you really wanted to learn the business I could teach you it, it won't be in a day but within a month or two you would know quite a bit.

It takes a hell of alot longer than that. Unfortunately i dont know if you even know what a seedbox is.. If you want to become good or at least satisfactory, start with buying them, jump to dedicated systems and play around. You'll learn from experience and doing it from a consumer standpoint.

I jumped on the dedi scene just to practise believe me leave it to the big guys as u have to be a linux god to do anything if u dont know linux dont bother m8 unless u are willing to learn, I have spent hours in irc ere getting help from loads of peeps they are very helpful but its stressful at times m8 but good luck in what ever way u turn

That's why if he started with me I already have pre installed templates for several versions of numerous GUI's. Seriously if your interested in this badcaptain shoot me a pm and we can talk alright? I'm already a pretty decent guy in the seedbox scene (over 120 orders this month) I know how to do it, get the right traffic and such. All I really need for my next two projects is a partner as I want to keep them low key and when they get big I'll get my rotterdamn crew to step in.
