Business service offerings and
           liquidity
Valuation Difference:
Something I have seen many times is the owner/decision
 maker on the sell side has heard web hosting company
valuation formulas and wants to apply that formula to his
company. Inevitably the owner is disappointed when the
 offer comes up short in their mind, and passes on what
               actually is a fair valuation.
Design Services:
The decision to staff up and start offering web design
 services to complement the pure play hosting recurring
 revenue is a huge decision with regards to the effect on
   business liquidity. Of course design services can be a
natural fit with hosting clients by helping to reduce client
churn and up selling existing clients. However, the value
 of the revenue and cash flow generated from one-time
  design jobs is no where near the value of the recurring
               hosting revenue and cash flow.
Negatives of design departments when it comes time to
                         sell:
Internet Data Center:
Investing in an IDC may increase the value of the entire
     company by an enormous amount over time, but
 definitely reduces the liquidity in the short run. Typically
   smaller web host co-locate in the beginning, then at a
   later date acquire their own data center. In turn, the
company will then offer space to other smaller host hence
            creating yet another service offering.
