As my reseller accounts and Singapore agents increases, my pay cheques increased till I could actually start getting my own server space and host my own clients. My reseller accounts are catered to high end users. I felt that there is a growing demand for budget web hosting. I start setting up my own reseller accounts and selling at a budget pricing, I remember my first package was 2 mb web space costing S$10 a month.

The Web Hosting industry was still new, I added in features like formmail, counters into my accounts which proved to be hot selling. The servers are in USA, but this was the time when the bad mouthing started of our company being a fly by night. Of our servers being hosted on a 56kbps modems at my flat. One issue was I never lived in a flat before and never had servers at home. Till now, some old timers were still asking if I started out of my flat.

To be frank, at that time, I do not have the technical skills to setup and maintain a server in the 1st place. Basically all were done by my partner in USA.
