bishop245 Posted July 26, 2004 Posted July 26, 2004 I think this kind of question is why we have a FORUM called Web Masterscorner Topic Moved Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted July 26, 2004 Posted July 26, 2004 burntests.com corelimits.com burnlimits.com How about something like one of them? Or maybe even mix/match something like that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some_Guy_ Posted July 26, 2004 Posted July 26, 2004 How's about overclockingclub.com I always thought uberclocker (or uberklocker) would be cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shervin2 Posted July 26, 2004 Posted July 26, 2004 uberclocker is a good name, good idea. But since me and WebX (Yes hes the co-owner) are teens i was gonna make it like hardwarekid.com and make it hardware from a different perspective, help me out guys!

d3bruts1d Posted July 26, 2004 Posted July 26, 2004 I really don't think you know what you are getting into... maybe you do, but here are some thing to think about.... It's one thing to go out and get a name, and a server to host the site.... But running (or even helping with) a site such as this is an extremely difficult, and time consuming take if you want to be successful. It takes a lot of time and money for a site to be successful, and since time = money... well, you get the point. If you have the time and money, another thing that you have to deal with is the fact that this is an extremely saturated area. I've probably got 200 similar sites bookmarked, and that doesn't even scratch the tip. The next thing, this is a business. It cost money and makes money. How much or how little depend on a wide variety of things.... Don't think just because you start up a site people are just going to start sending you hardware. Most people have this assumption. That's just a few things to think about... I'll let you discover the rest. But, best of luck on your endeavor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overclocker16 Posted July 26, 2004 Posted July 26, 2004 It's harder then extremely difficult lol. You may find everything you need, but finding members...or even companies to let you review stuff is tough. Though you can find them, it'd tough to just "Oh I am going to start a website." Trust me, I tried it. Didn't work to well... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuclear Posted July 26, 2004 Posted July 26, 2004 I'll agree with D3 and Overclocker on this one. I think alot of people think that I started my site over night, and that its only been running a few weeks. The truth is, I spent almost a year planning and organzing the site. I spent many months calling in favors to my contacts, insiders, or anyone I knew that could help. I'm still fighting to get some sponsorship finalized. Now, I am in the process of switching all of my hosting to severs at my house, which comes with an increased bill. Running my website has turned into a regular 12HR a day job. I'm not trying to discourage you, as anyone can do anything. Just be prepared to put alot of time, money, and effort into it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shervin2 Posted July 26, 2004 Posted July 26, 2004 Well ive done a couple of reveiews in the past for 2 sites as a freelance, but everyone knows freeelances suck. I do have the time as its summer for me and I do not have a job and i will start off small and for tiem to come grow bigger and bigger. I have a friend who owns one of the hardware sites ni canaada so he can help me out graciously, as for the money, if this goes out well (I am getting cheap hosting ATM) I may or may not be able to keep this running through the coarse of my school year. but I do have people who are willing to do soem reveiws and give me a big help. Thanks for your input guys, but i still need a name... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
