In 2021, we released our all new Reseller Hosting packages to the public. Now, using the SIRSTEVEHQ platform, you can white-label and sell it to clients under your own brand giving you the chance to earn steady, recurring income every single month.
I’ve been developing businesses online for nearly ten years with the majority of them being subscription based. From a sports entertainment subscription website to an Internet marketing forum, it’s safe to say I know a thing or two about creating recurring revenue businesses that enjoy steady billing each month.
Think about it, there are probably several people in your circle right now who need web hosting. Maybe it’s the local fashion designer trying to showcase their collections online. Maybe it’s your cousin who runs a catering business and needs a professional website to reach more customers. Or perhaps you’ve been blogging yourself and paying someone else for hosting!
The truth is, everyone who wants to build an online presence needs web hosting. That’s why SIRSTEVEHQ was designed to make the process simple, intuitive, and accessible; you don’t need to be a tech guru to run it.
Now here’s the thing: because web hosting is essential for every website, the industry will always be competitive. But instead of trying to compete with giant providers who have massive budgets, the smarter approach is to define your niche. Who exactly do you want to serve? Is it small business owners in your community? Content creators? Startups looking for affordable hosting? By narrowing your focus and tailoring your message, you not only reduce your marketing costs but also create a stronger connection with the people you serve.
Let’s circle back to those five people you already know who need web hosting. How close are they to you? Chances are, they’re right within your reach; a colleague at work who’s been talking about launching a side hustle, a family member running a small business, or even a close friend who’s trying to take their brand online. That’s exactly where you should begin!
When you start with people you already have a personal connection with, you’re not just offering them a service, you’re building trust. And here’s the best part: when you give them a smooth, reliable hosting experience, they won’t keep it to themselves. They’ll tell their circle, and word-of-mouth will do the heavy lifting for you.
Today, the majority of online traffic comes from mobile devices. In fact, recent reports show it’s well over 60% and the number keeps climbing as smartphones get cheaper and internet access expands into developing regions. This shift gives you a massive opportunity if you’re ready to take advantage of it. Our platform allows you to set up a fully mobile-optimized website for your customer in less than ten minutes. That means you can walk into a conversation with a local entrepreneur, a shop owner, or even that neighborhood barber, and show them how their business could look on a phone, where their customers are actually spending time.
Here’s the thing: how many people do you think are walking into your local tailor's shop every day and saying, "Let me set you up with a mobile-ready website?" Hardly anyone. That’s your edge. Be the first to offer it, and chances are, you’ll land that business before anyone else even thinks about asking.
When you’re putting together your business plan, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is how to price your services. If you’re starting locally, you actually have an advantage; you can charge a little more than the big corporations because what you’re offering is personal attention. You’re not just giving people hosting; you’re giving them direct support and building trust.
From experience, I’d rather work with 10 clients paying me ₦100k each month than 100 clients paying ₦1k. Why? Because with fewer, higher-value clients, I can deliver a premium, one-on-one experience and really build long-term relationships. Quality beats quantity every time.
As you draft your plan, do some market research around your area. Call different companies and ask what they charge to set up a mobile-friendly website for a small business. You might be surprised, many agencies overcharge because local business owners don’t realize how quick and simple it can be to get online.
Now think about your neighborhood: maybe it’s the barber who wants customers booking appointments online, or the bakery owner who’d love to showcase their daily specials. If you can step in with an affordable, mobile-ready solution, you instantly gain a competitive edge. That’s how you begin to carve out your market share.
You don’t need a long, formal business plan to get started. But you do need a simple roadmap. Before you dive in, write down your goals, who you want to serve, how you’ll price your service, and how you plan to give customers the best experience.
Having it on paper keeps you focused and helps you stay on track when things get busy.
At SIRSTEVEHQ, we’ll keep walking you through the basics in our Web Hosting 101 series, step by step, from getting started to growing your business.
