does anyone here make money from a website?

[iamme]

just out of curiosity, does anyone out there own/run a website that makes them a modest or substantial amount of money? perhaps with google adsense ads? how much time do you spend on it per week?

with all the computer/tech/internet savvy folks around, someone's bound to have a successful website (besides anand, of course).

There are several people here on AT who run webhosts that either bring them even or bring them a profit.

are you referring to buying large webhosting packages and reselling them?

For a starter that would be one way. You could purchase a reseller account and then resell individual accounts.

Nik, most people that do it aim for making a profit, not breaking even

I mate of mine makes a good living from a Hotel booking engine.

He's built the business up over the last 3.5 years. He's had it hard, but now he reaps the benefits

Mine costs me money every month...not a huge amount, so I can afford to have it up. I have a few sites hosted on my server, for nominal fees, just enough to almost get me to the even point, the rest of the cost is due to my own site and files I host that are hit a lot. I burn through 300GB+ of bandwidth a month, almost 60GB just from ATOT this past month alone.
