Well so far the feedback from customers is that they love the service they are getting. The only thing that is holding me back now is getting that word out to other potential customers. The budget for marketing is still low but I have been working with some viral marketing such as blogs, word of mouth, advertising on vehicles etc to try and drive sales. There will be business cards soon to pass around so that should help as well. As always I am open to suggestions

For those of you who are RTS fans. I recently bought Company of Heroes and its upgrade Opposing Fronts. The game is amazing. The graphics are great, each unit has dozens of animations so that you get immersed into the game. The gameplay is outstanding, there have been some fierce battles between teams, sometimes street to street and sometimes over a simple bridge. I have found that artillery is your friend. When in doubt I am leveling whole city blocks and watching the resistance fade away, its a amazing feature which im sure the enemy loathes me having =)

I am looking into getting my open water certification <the first certification you need to become a scuba diver>, I am nervous and excited at the same time. In fins i swim like a fish, out of fins, I swim like a rock. So lets see how this goes. The class fee for the first class is 300 bux including everything but I am looking at purchasing a good mask/fins and snorkel. So that even when I dont have class I can do down to the lake and work on my swimming skills.

Started to go through the applications from companies to market and advertise my site. Wow some are off the wall like 10k+ dollars a month advertising etc. I know the reason most businesses fail is underfunding, well thats the boat I am in, trying to build this without going into debt to do it. I am trying the social networking approach to get enough customers in to afford marketing but I am always open to suggestions or ideas for financing or marketnig a web hosting and domain name business.
