CYBERSPACE – Matthew Collins knows that making money as an adult webmaster can be a confusing process. That’s why the president of RevShareHosting.com makes sure that his company doesn’t make things more baffling than absolutely necessary.”We do a lot of business with newbies, so we really spell it out. We try to be easy and clear and step-by-step,” he explains.
In order to make things as easy as possible, Collin’s four-year-old company has gone the distance and taken away many of the technical concerns that can complicate a webmaster’s life. For instance, in addition to no-cost hosting services, RevShareHosting – and its newest sibling, GayRevShareHosting.com – handles all of the related server and bandwidth related details. As far as Collins is concerned, “Our customers are better off concentrating on what they do best, which is building galleries and sites. Let us worry about managing servers and paying the hosting bill.”
By putting webmasters in a position where they can direct their energy and attention in the areas where they excel, they’re far more likely to turn a profit – which is, after all, their reason for becoming professional webmasters.
In addition to providing free hosting, bandwidth, and server maintenance, RevShareHosting also has domain names available to clients, something particularly popular with European webmasters and those without credit cards. Customer support is available 24/7 via ticket system, ICQ, email, and telephone – and includes free support for FTP, CGI, PHP, PERL, and mySQL.
What’s the hook? Unlike other free hosting services that work with galleries and free sites, RevShareHosting doesn’t put up banners, headers, or footers; it doesn’t take 404 traffic, and it doesn’t take international traffic. What it does is take “a piece of the action.” By receiving a percentage of each sale made, RevShareHosting can afford to pay for bandwidth surges that occur after TGP and MGP submissions, while providing daily maintenance and remaining motivated to help their partner webmasters excel since, as Collins points out, “If you don’t make any money, we don’t make any money.”
