I definitely agree with #2. **If you have the team to support it** or are willing to build one around it, there is a HUGE need for SMB technical support and a huge opportunity. BUT it's extremely hands on, requires a high degree of patience and competence, the ability to react immediately (same or next day pricing options) and a willingness to stick to your pricing structure - they'll grumble but they'll pay it.

I feel like there are two markets for hosting. You can do totally hands off $5/month CPanel (or similar) with little or no support, but then why would anybody pick you over GoDaddy? You can also go for higher priced, but with support from a web developer who can basically do full service hosting/development. I think the 2nd option is the only way small businesses make decent money at it anymore. > Doing an update to the servers again.
