I wouldn't quite consider social networks and VPS hosts to be just as saturated as one another. Building a social network from the ground up requires time, some creativity, the ability to bring something unique to the table, and forming a team that's just as passionate towards an idea as you are. Running a VPS company, on the other hand, requires an install of a hypervisor and a ticket/billing system. I'd prefer to contribute something that requires a bit more thought and energy. First, I'd like to weigh my options for this particular project, rather than jumping ship this early and heading down another path.

You make a valid point. Vps is spessentially a service industry vs a product. That said, wih a social network you are 99% likely to fail. Proving me wrong is worth a billion dollars, the question is what kind of goals are you setting for yourself.
