    PD: i know about networking, virtualizate, server, service and others. because i have my litle company and i working with that, server 2003, 2008, linux sas, nas, vpn, ppoe, ... bla bla bla.. but in cloud i am litle scared, i hope understand and i appreciate the help or orientation can guive me for complete my path. big thanks too all.
    ,
    PD2: Btw i prefer intel that amd, i read a lot and say is better for "vt-x" that amd... is true?

    Hi paul, I am not sure what you need. Because you didn't show a clear view on what you want to do. The only thing i understand is you want to open a small cloud hosting company and want to ask some opinion.

    I assume that you is a person with server knowledge, but i didn't found you got a good business planning. If start a hosting service with 0 customer base, i prefer you start from a reseller hosting plan. That will make you start to understand what is web hosting service. But if you will like to do some Iaas or Paas, then start from a cloud vps.

    Cloudstack and Openstack are very similar in terms of functionality. Don’t forget to look at OnApp and vCloud Director.

    For billing there are lot's of options it would all depend on you budget really?

    ^This

    If you want it to be turnkey, OnApp will work with you to figure out what hardware you need and help you set it up.

    i am thinking for this onapp + hostbill grant almost all feature like amazon (link http://hostbillapp.com/features/apps/onapp.html ) i am thinking is the best for start, more expensive i want it.. but the best choise, i continue research over openstack, guive me i hope but i mark red this is because is my second choise!

    pd: hope is last can die.. but i open this post to discuss too over other solution and learn about that (is a big world)

    and do check out others like Flexiscale and Eucalyptus.

    (if you're not extremely tech savvy - dont go near openstack / cloudstack - especially controlpanel wise they have a long way to go)

    yup have all reason, control panel in those have a really long path.. btw i see flexiscale, the more forum say are slow more that ispconfig... and cant do much things with that... with eucaliptus i have in check list for test when my server come to dady.... and well i go to test all control panel "free" and put too the "paid" panels (free trials) and well if want can put inside and touch too. i get open almost all for 1 day for try to understand each, and well, decide..

    the biggest problem will be ddos from time to time, believe me ,you virtualazation will run fine and you network is going to be your biggest problem.
