Do Non-Techies Make Good Web Hosts?

Historically web hosting has always been the sort of business that has always attracted technically-oriented persons. In the early days web hosts were located on the basements of homes or attics. Some technically-oriented computer whiz kids even hosted servers in their dorms.

Today, the business has changed a great deal and is much more professionally handled than in those hectic early days of the Internet when numerous barely-legal kids made massive fortunes hosting websites in their spare time. One of the things that has happened is that we now have numerous people who have little or no technical background in computers and the World Wide Web handling web hosting services. Many times they hire technical staff to take care of the technical aspect of their online businesses. On other occasions, they simply join web hosting programs, including affiliate programs where all the technical aspects of the business are taken care of and all they do is busy themselves with marketing, selling and basically finding clients. In return they receive a generous recurring affiliate income for their trouble.

Numerous non-technical persons are constantly contemplating this question of whether non-techies end up making good web hosts and succeeding in the business. Actually the real question here is how much of a handicap their lack of technical knowledge is as they handle the web hosting business.

In fact, many non-technical persons enjoy some advantages in entering the web hosting business over webmasters who are technically oriented. The truth of the matter is that fairly often technically oriented people do not make good marketers. Selling anything is usually awkward and difficult for them. Yet for any business, selling and marketing is extremely important. Without sales, no business or enterprise can exist.

Since technical and support services for various web hosting programs is usually of a very high standard, it becomes fairly easy for anybody without a technical background to do extremely well in the web hosting industry. Indeed today we have many examples of this in the sector.
