Title: Help Needed For New Site! -Can You Provide Support or DO You OWN A HOSTING SITE?
Post by: MsAdvantageous on November 23, 2010, 11:31:36 PM
Hi everyone.

I need a few people that would be interested in becoming a Community Support Member of my community. These people would be in charge of more than one customer and would interact with each one on a one-on-one basis. You would be my free hosting and paid hosting support and website advisor, should we say.

I need 4 for right now.

I also need people that own hosting sites that have been up for awhile to give me their URLs and the link to where their plan descriptions are so that if I can not provide my customer with the hosting they need, I can recommend them to someone that can. I realize that not all hosting sites can help EVERY customer accomplish their goal, and that there has to be a hosting site out there that will fulfill their needs.

So whichever web hosts seem the most reliable, I will choose to recommend customers I cannot help to. Give me a link to your plan descriptions and your reviews of your site (if you have any) and I will get back to you.

Please send your reply to [email protected] if you are interested in any of the above openings. Post a reply telling me you have sent me an e-mail so I know.

Thank you.

Could you explain what exactly you are trying to do?

I tried being as clear as possible but I guess I haven't been.

I need Community Support Members (CSMs). These are people that know the basics of web hosting and the general information people should know when trying to make a website. You can ask for a donation for your services for now, and then once my site gets more people, I will pay you per member you help.

I also need people that run web hosts of their own. These must be successful web hosts that can prove that they have good reviews and do not oversell. If I choose you, you will be recommended to people that my web host isn't good enough for. For example, if Sally wants a web host that can offer her 2 terabytes of disk space, I obviously won't be able to give her what she wants, and so I will recommend her to one of the web hosts that I've chosen as the Recommendations.

I will, of course, require web host owners to sign up on my forum and keep an active thread on their web host, posting any new reviews (both good and bad) and providing my members with information regarding their hosting plans, pricing, etc.

Thank you for your question.
