【微魔·爱评论】不足200刀让你成为主机商的CEO

看到这个题目，有些人兴奋，有些人觉得是老梗，但显然这个帖子一经发起引来了大家的热议，随着成为IDC成本的不断降低，越来越多的新人加入到了IDC的行列。不得不说各种便宜的Reseller是这一趋势的罪魁祸首，5G的主机商Reseller，月付甚至能低到10元左右！而转手一卖就变成了各种20-30元年付的200-500M不等的博客空间，但是这种“价格战”无疑变成了许多消费者的灾难，毕竟利润少，客户多，面对微薄的利润和海量的服务单，绝大多数的便宜主机商都撑不过你的购买期限…相比之下，随着独服价格的日益走低，很多人也开始打起了VPS的主意，不过相对还好，起码有一些技术关，VPS领域目前还没有到“沦丧”的地步。本文所涉及的话题可能会因其大家争议：你在鼓励大家都One Man？显然不是！相反，微魔想让大家认清一个事实，在选择VPS服务商的时候还是要尽量谨慎，避开一些资历较浅，技术差的One Man，毕竟经营的成本门槛太低了。

那么到底成为One Man VPS服务商至少需要多少成本呢？国外网友的一笔账：

微魔已经根据一些意见对原文进行了修正~其中一些步骤，如模版等是可以省去花销的，本文暂时予以保留~

#1: 购买便宜独服，如DataShack，约100刀；
#2: 注册域名和Paypal。成本10刀以下；
#3: 购买/制作模版，成本15刀以下；
#4. 在网站上发表文章/观点时尽量使用“我们”和CEO等头衔或字样；
#5: 安装SolusVM（VPS控制端），成本约12刀（微魔修正）；
#6: 安装WHMCS，成本约10刀（微魔修正）；
#7: 注册微博等，并购买一些假粉丝充场面~（微魔依照国情修正~）；
#9: 等待售罄~

大家可以看到，从成本层面，成为VPS服务商的成本十分低廉，而商机却很大，这也就是为什么大家都在感慨“现在怎么国人的VPS越来越多？！”微魔在此呼吁大家不要被眼前的风光蒙蔽双眼，开始业务前要考虑到自己是否有这个精力和耐心，本着对自己和客户负责的态度去打拼自己的事业！
