I shouldn't even reply to this...
Yes I would host with me.
Have you ever heard of a backup plan. People that would step in if
something happens to me? People that I trust to keep the company going if
it fails.
With all due respect, how do people host with a company that doesn't give a
rats ass about them or their business. How many big companies redirect your
call, or brush you away when problems occur. I been over backwards for my
clients. Providing better service then many of the bigger companies out
there. That is why people do and will continue to host with me. Like I
said, I plan on hiring people in the near future. Things take time to
evolve.
I am not saying that my company is for everyone. If you don't like a one
man shop then don't go there. People have taken a chance with me and have
not been disappointed like so many times before.

And if, God forbid, something was to happen to you...
120 People / Companies would be left with a server
that no one knows the root password too?
With all due respect, how can someone in his
right mind host with a one man gang company?
For all I know you can be a hosting genius and
give the best service around but you are still one
man.
Would you host with you ? :)

I am going to have to disagree on this one.
I run a successful (and profitable) hosting company(http://www.rolet.com).
My employees total 1 (me, myself and I). The number of clients hosted is
roughly 120. I provide a wide variety of services on Linux, FreeBSD, NT,
and W2K. Yes it is hard to believe that 1 person can be available 24x7, or
not take vacations, but this is what I do and LOVE every second of it. I
value customer satisfaction and strive to provide that best Internet
services possible. For me this is a career for life, not just a job. So I
do believe that 1 person can be available 24x7 and not take vacations.
Don't get me wrong, some days it is tough. I would like to have other
employees in the future, but don't mind the sacrifices taken to get there.

Chris,
This all sounds good but for one thing: I firmly believe that one man
with a root password is not enogh to look after even one client. I have
hosted with 3 one-man-companies, and it always came to the point where I
couldn't reach someone for a week, or I waited for 3 months, only to be
granted connect privileges to the mysql database - no offense meant! I
think it's just too much for one man, you cannot be available 24/7, and
you will want holidays.
Still, a PHP-specialized hosting environment would be worth much.
Cheers,
Ben
