Default Losing/Making money
Currently, even though I provide paid services all I get are people asking for the free hosting. lol...figures. I don't even have 1 paid member out of the 33 I host. Google Adsense is a good source, but what do you do when none of your members click it? How do you earn money to pay for it all? I tried banner codes but my members are confused about Google policy about modifying the code. How do some hosts provide ad-free hosting? It boggles the mind.

They get really cheap hosting, and they don't offer ftp, just a file browser, so users have to visit their site to upload, this way they get lots of traffic on their site.

Then they put the banners on their main site, instead of the users' sites :-p.

Usually this requires alot of investment to set up the correct infrastructure though...

Sell advertising to hosting companies or look for a CPM provider.

Maybe Google just isn't for you.

I've used Clicksor on my blog. I had many clicks and didn't even make a dollar. And trust me, my blog gets thousands of hits. So I don't really use Clicksor anymore because sometimes it wasn't functioning properly.

I just opened a free & paid web hosting company a couple days ago. I took months to build. But usually, web hosting owners give out free web hosting so it's like a preview of the paid plans. A good idea is to put Google Adsense ads or something in the cPanel control panel. Just go to WHM and click Modify cPanel/WHM News and add the code
