Run from all those imposters claiming they can handle you project, yet they dont even have their own business website to show for it . if they had, they would definitely provide the link or rather put it on their signature. a man cannot be naked and yet claim he sells clothes

run from them o, most are fraudstars

How do you push your bulk sms business to people? How do you make big sales?
Before that, I want to quickly talk to you about your domain name, hosting and cron job.
Domain name.
Pls in choosing a domain, try to choose a catchy name. And a short name also. Maybe 11 characters down. Choose a name that has the 'sms' or 'bulksms' in it. Make out time to brainstorm and write down about fifty names. Then go to www.name.com and start checking for availability. Most of them will not be available. If you get 10 that are available, stare on the 10 names until you see the one that rings a bell in your mind, then register it.
Hosting.
You can start with the normal shared hosting. However, I will encourage you to start making plans for VPS hosting. Bulk sms website consume lots of cpu and so you need a higher plan. I have about six busy bulk sms websites under my account, and so we use a vps hosting. We are even making plans to migrate to Dedicated server. If your hosting is not high enough, your clients may experience 504 gateway timeout when they want to send sms to thousands of numbers. Start with a shared hosting, but start making plans to upgrade. I pay about 20k per month for hosting.
Cron job.
This is responsible for sms scheduling. If your host uses cpanel, you can add your cron jobs. However, it imparts on the cpu of shared hosting. And if you reach monthly cpu limit, your host will disable your account and your website will not be accessible again until new month or you upgrade. To avoid cron job wahala, I host all my cron jobs separately. With $50 per year, I host my cron jobs at www.easycron.com.
To be continued...

nice one so far @ creativeweb
you know bulksms is not a high margin business. especially for a starter. my bulksms websites oweners may not be able to afford 20k/month for hosting. it takes an established bulksms site to afford that. shared hosting is ok for a start as you noted.
however, i think the major thing that imparts on cpu usage in cpanel the inodes created when a cron is set. one cannot because of this decide not to set cron. crone is a super feature in bulksms website that aids deferred delivery.

one major help is to constantly delete the inodes(files) in cpanel created by cron jobs; esle hence your cpu will be exhausted within 2-3 months and if care is not taken, your host may suspend your account or keep asking you to upgrade to a higer package

Alternatively, you can go to your File Manager>Mail directory and delete subfolder 'new' in /mail folder. you will find that the subfolder is generated the next minute immediately you delete it - thats the crone effect. do this like once every month so as to continually avail you cpu space and you will be ok with your current shared hosting plan.
If may find it as a stress, which i dont think,you can contact your host to help you with a code to add to cron command so as to stop it from creating message files.

nigerians can be funny atimes. Fighting because of bvn. Banks have no right to close an customers account, unless there is a case of fraud.
The worse they would do is ask you to fill the form before they would give u any attention. But closing an account? No way! Even if na one naira dey inside.

Hmm! I am just here to read comments.
On a more serious note. I have been contemplating a sort of association or body for all bulk sms reseller. is there a possibility for this in Naija? Will it help to stablilize the market against unwholesome practices (like price undercutting by new entrants, poor delivery infrastructure esp from those yeye indian gateways) and help protect our interests. If MTN should wake up one day and say sms is now N1 per page what happens to us?

its possible sha, but with time. the thing never mature reach that extent for naija

can i possibly fit in? i stay in warri.... barely 45mins away from you
