Hi,

As in every discussion there is always an out of framework post, not particularly related to other posts but a person asking needed to start somewhere so there you have it. This is that type of a post.

So I finally decided it is time to move on. I am not young enough to change the job and start all over with my 90' programming skills (like someone nicely phrased it in response to one of my previous posts here) and not old enough or should I say not arrogant enough to steal someones else's position in the company I currently work at. So I decided to start my own business. Since I've been in system administration and search engines for a while now and know a thing or two about it I decided to frame my business idea around it. However for that I need a financial injection and/or an access to a machine (hopefully not too expensive) where I can set up my Internet business. Since this is not a typical internet sales framework I cannot just set up a web site and start selling. I need a full unix/linux environment with ca. 100GB of disc space 4-8 cores 4-8 GB of RAM and an Internet domain. Is there any service that you know that can rent something like that? Second I never programmed any money transfer app. And have no idea how to do it right now so is there any perl module that can be used to do something like that? Or how do people setup something like that so a client can safely make a money transfer. Essential I need some basic first hand advice on how to start an online business. How to register it even if I am looking at some donation based system like here at perlmonks. I have been googling a lot about the subject but there are bunch of advices like

1. Have an Idea.
2. Register a company
3. Make a website
4. Make a gazillion dollars

Well maybe it is just me, but this is so vague that I cannot even begin to rationalize what the author meant or what was he/she thinking when writing something like that. So if there is anyone here that has some experience with it and willing to share I would gladly take some advice. (Positive or negative, both are welcomed)

cheers,

baxy
